Peter B Kalispell , MT January 08, 2015 Motor started to smoke and would not run Hardest part is verifying that the motor is your actual problem. After that the online how to video made it easy. Just like a new washer. For a little over $100 we were back in the laundry business. Calling a repair man would have been $300-$400. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
