Debra F Groton , CT May 08, 2016 Very loud spinning off balance Called repairman. Not a DIY project by any means. Took 5 hours to install new part. Entire washing machine had to be dissembled to replace the flange shaft. Works beautifully now, but big repair job. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
