Why junk it if it's working OK? My parents washer lasted about 25 years.

The only problem we've had with it has been the last couple of weeks with
the water draining. The tub, agitator,etc. all seem to be in good shape,
and if the rest of it looks as good once I get the cover off, then $50
worth of parts sure beats $500 for a new one.

I have an 18 year old Kenmore direct drive washer. Lately it's not been
draining the tub completely, and occassionally I've seen a small amount of
water leaking from the front. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to be
replacing the pump. While I have it apart I'm going to do an inspection
and cleaning, and even though it doesn't seem to be having any other
issues, is there anything else (gaskets, seals, etc.) that I should just
go ahead and replace, or at least pay special attention to? Most of those
parts are pretty inexpensive and I'd rather replace them while I'm working
on the rest of the unit instead of waiting six months and disassembling
the washer again.

Any comments would be appreciated.
