Background - Wife and I are 78 years old. Since there is no budget for new or repair we did it ourselves. I have COPD and could no have done it without her help.
Watch you tube examples and followed them. replaced the coupler motor to trans and since we were there replaced the clutch and agitator kit. Also replaced hoses with new stainless hoses.
Just tested and everything seems to work as new. Not bad for a machine 12-15 years old.
I looked at new ones but the EPA has turned them into useless junk. As I said I can't afford
new. If I was still in my late 50's or early 60's I could have done this job in less than an hour.
