Debbie E Elizabethton , TN February 14, 2015 Appliance: Model KENMORE ELITE 4T Drum spider support broken New inner drum and front and rear outer drum; although other parts worked, still replaced the bellow and clamp, new door latch, and cleaned the hoses. Washer works great. Just like brand new. Even though matching dryer works, I am going to clean it up and replace some parts on it also.

Stephen L Goffstown , NH June 22, 2014 Appliance: Model KENMORE HE4T FRONT-LOADER The spider/shaft broke on the basket of my kenmore he4e washer I ordered the basket assembly, which I received it in less than 24 hours. So I was able to do the 2 hour replacement & had the washer operational in less than two day from break down. Thanks to AppliancePartsPro, the item was in stock & less money then other sites. The repair was very easy. The hardest part was removing the very heavy Washer Tub assembly, which has concrete weights for balancing the load during a spin cycle. So make sure you have someone strong enough to help remove the washer tub, then reinstall once you've replaced the basket.

Michael G Petaluma , CA October 01, 2014 The problem was a loud screeching noise and then a thumpping sound until the washer turned off I went on youtube and found the APP. video and found the how change the bearings on a HE3 washer. Very Helpful and easy to follow. When I took the washer apart I noticed the spider was broken and bought the entire washer drum. Reinstalled everything. Ran approx 8 loads so far and everything seems to be working like new.

Mark F Greenbrier , AR February 12, 2016 Spider bracket broken on spin basket I watched all of the available UTube videos on replacing the spin basket on my Sears Kenmore Elite He3 model and it made the job very easy to do. It is definitely a 2 person job as the drum is pretty heavy and 1 person can't do it by theirselves. Part from appliancepartspro was nicely priced - 1/2 the price Kenmore wanted for it.
