Being that it is a clutch repair on a 15 year old washer....would it be best
to just replace the machine?

Hi,

The ?clutch? is bad??

The clutch assy can become noisy with age but usually makes a terrible
racket during all machine functions ( washing, draining, spinning ).

A new clutch, or even rebuilding the old clutch would be cheaper than
a new washer....if the rest of the washer is is good shape ( no rust
holes, etc ) I'd fix the old one....JMO!
