Michael M Jacksonville , FL November 18, 2018 Broken washplate The repair was straight forward. I am only writing this to tell you that I very much enjoyed the lengths that your company has gone to. The interactive exploded views drawings with connection to the part and price is exceptional. And it is further driven by this questionnaire regarding the repair that I did. The level of service this provides is above the mark! I have been wanted to create a similar service with our incubation equipment and parts they use. Whats the best approach into creating this level of interactive exploded views?

Sean H Floyds Knobs , IN August 22, 2021 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW5000DW1 My Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 washer was not spinning properly. I replaced the drive hub and wash plate. I probably did not need to replace the wash plate but did not realize that until after the fact and since I had it, I might as well replace it anyway. (I damaged it slightly during removing as it would not come off of the drive shaft without a lot of effort and a pair of channel locks.). My main issue was the drive hub. The plastic gears inside the unit were totally destroyed. Putting plastic gears against a metal drive shaft that spins at high speed seems like a design problem, but once I replaced that and put it back together it works like new now.
