Travis K Jersey Shore , PA October 10, 2014 Washer was leaking while draining My husband is a natural handyman, I call him Bob the Builder (don't tell him I told you that!). When our washer started leaking we started looking for a used one online, when that didn't work he figured he'd take it apart and see if he could find the problem himself. Well after doing some research online we replaced the drain pump, which in the long run was a good idea because ours wasn't in very good condition, but our washer still leaked. So after some more looking around he found a hole on the backside of the tub hose. We replaced that and our washer has been running great! We spent $40 on fixing our washer instead of $200+ on another used washer.

Robert C North Andover , MA December 10, 2017 Appliance: Model MAYTAG Initially the washing machine was dancing across the floor during the spin cycle. I ordered the snubber ring and fixed the dancing problem following the excellent youtube video you folks provide. I then had an issue with the machine not draining the water during the first spin cycle. It would drain if I put it into an extended or second spin cycle. I went back to your site and did a web chat with Kayla who walked me through different scenarios. finally, we decided to get the additional parts which were a cinch to install because I had either already checked them or uninstalled them during the initial problem. I was able to order the parts and upgrade the shipping (and got them in less than the 1.7 days projected) during the web chat. I had the new parts back in less than an hour and the machine has been running beautifully! I would not hesitate to order from you again and will recommend you to anyone I can.

Charles N Killeen , TX June 19, 2017 Water was not draining and basket not turning Once I realized I could hear the electric motor turning but nothing else was moving I figured it was a broken drive belt. That was confirmed when I moved the washer and there was the belt on the floor. The longest part of the job was scooping the water out of the washer. Once the water level was low enough I could tilt the washer and install the new belt. It's taking longer to write this than it did to put the new belt on. I also replaced the old drain hose as it was needed as well. The hardest part of that job was taking the back panel off the washing machine. Great design to have that readily accessible.
