It could certainly be a costly repair and probably not worth it for a
ten year old appliance. I'd go for a new "no frills" washer which
should be about $400 Those expensive machines with a lot of electronic
controls ...in my opinion ...are a big waste of money


thanks!



You are welcome


FWIW: My Whirlpool has now gone close to 28 years without a single thing
ever going wrong with it. My guess it that "they don't build them like
that anymore."

My Kenmore, made by Whilrpool, has gone 36 years, but it did need a
belt-tightening some time in the last 5 years.

I bought mine because it was belt-less

I don't know if they made that kind 36 years ago, but I didn't buy the
washer anyhow. The guy I bought my house from picked it out. He
didn't buy the most expensive, I think, but he didn't buy the cheapest
either. I think he bought what I would have bought.
