Kenneth G Mission Viejo , CA October 14, 2014 Very easy to remove the old part and replace it with the new one The most difficult part of this repair was removing the 3 screws that held on the cover. The replacement part was easy to install. Just 2 hose connections, 2 screws and 2 electrical connections. And now my washing machine is no longer dripping hot water into the tub. Doing this repair myself saved me hundreds of dollars.

Corey H Boyd , TX January 30, 2015 Loud squeaking noise Replaced the belt. It was a challenge though. Stretch the belt quite a bit prior to installation. Soak in hot water then step on it and pull up your arms. I would also highly recommend the belt installation tool. This helps keep the belt on the motor shaft while rotating the belt on the large pully. Plus zip tie the belt onto the large pulley to help keep it in place during the install.
