Do-It-Yourself Story

Presumably from just the "right" combination of detergent and water (we have well water), I had a complete disintegration and separation of the Inner Tub Mounting Hub. It was running a load of towels at the time and sounded like we had come under attack. Simply pulling up the agitator quickly revealed the extent of the problem. A couple of quick YouTube searches, 5 minutes looking for the right parts, and a simple ordering of the known/suspect/better replace it while I have apart parts, and I was on my way to a simple fix! The longest part of the whole ordeal was my wife and taking the opportunity to clean all the gunk off of the various parts - and wonder how in the world was it that our clothes were being "cleaned" in all that?! Disclaimer: I work in the maintenance field and have an extensive amount of tools, so this made the job beyond simple for me.
