Kenmore / Sears Washer Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

OK this is one of those stories that can't help but encourage those of us who have absolutely no idea how appliances work and yet by simply refusing to pay such ridiculous repair prices can honestly get it done with a "FRACTION" of the cost. So here is my story & the scary unknown(s) BUT the incredible help offered to me to successfully win the ( I won't allow you to take advantage of me ) anymore conclusion. I had a 2 1/2-year-old Maytag coin wash machine that just quit working; after... Read more

Replaced it with the part I ordered from you guys. I had originally had LG come and check it out but they quoted me a price 250 plus tax. I said no way this little piece can cost 1/4 of the whole washing machine. So after finding your price, I you-tubed on how to replace it and I did in 20 min. Thanks youtube and thanks to you guys for such a great price on this switch assembly Read more

• Door won't close

I chatted with a rep on Appliance Parts Pros and found out which parts I needed for my model of dryer. Ordered the 2 clips that held the door closed. They arrived the next day!!

• Won't start

First, I rooked on YouTube for a video on how to fix it. The video brought me to a very helpful video with a link to your website. We have had this dryer since we bought the house 10 years ago and the thought of buying something new, that wasn't made as well was a dreaded thought. I went on the website, entered the model number of my dryer and then a search link for a parts search. Not knowing the part number, I was able to find the exact thing I needed. It was amazing and so easy! Had... Read more
