Have not touched since 2000 so it's been 18 years with no maintenance. Decided to replace all the common wear items. Your videos are superb!! I replaced all these parts and it worked for a few loads. The old parts specifically the felt drum seals/bearing & seal were in serious need of replacement.
After a few loads determined the motor was bad. Got a replacement motor locally (had to have it same day) replaced that and it has been running like new! Dry's loads faster, starts easy, etc. I used a socket for the 5/16th and 1/4 inch screws because did not have nut drivers. Repair took time because of the gluing on the seals but all the other things would have only taken maybe 15-30 minutes.
