My husband is a diesel mechanic but had never repaired a washer before. This was the easiest repair! we just took the back off and disconnected a few plugs. Took the white outside tub apart to find the assy flange in pieces. We replaced a few parts for less than $300 and reassembled the machine. It works fantastic. We spent almost $1000. for this machine new about 5 years ago and are very happy to find how easy it was to fix it. Thanks for making the parts so available and easy to order!
