on a Whirlpool washer?

If Jesus won't tell you, you might have to call the repairman or
appliance store and ask...

Jesus was a carpenter, not a washing machine repairman. He's not likely to know.

Mormons don't believe in the omniscience of God?

Why don't you look at the LDS web site, and find out? Some LDS folks have a sense of humor. Maybe that's it?

I've done a bunch of them. I'm doing one tomorrow for the guy across the street. Finally occurs to me, that I have no clue what anyone else charges. Your price quote sounds right.

$100 plus the part.
It takes about 5 minutes.
Remove the clips, drop the motor, swap the coupler (usually just the
rod kit) and put the motor back.

Yes, and even more if it's a national chain?

It depends a lot on where you live.
In one of those mobbed up union
states $200 just to start their truck
wouldn't shock me.

If anyone in here wants instructions on how to do this repair, the owner of this web site:

Appliance Repair and Parts Help, New Purchase Info | Appliance Aid

is an appliance repair technician, and I've known him for over 20 years.

I'm pretty sure he has instructions on how to do it he

Direct Drive Washer Access Procedures | Appliance Aid

Jeff is another Canadian, eh. And, considering there's only about 30 million of us, we all pretty well know each other.

If I have remembered correctly, you are by trade a locksmith, not an
appliance repairman. And you are considering charging your *neighbor*
across the street commercial repairman labor charges (which probably
include travel time) to do a job that somebody else here has said takes
only 5 minutes? Hmmmm!?

Stormin:

The guy has a point. Your neighbor isn't stupid, and he's going to realized when he's getting a good deal and when he isn't.

If you want to stay on good terms with your neighbor, then it's best to do the work for a "neighborly" price.

You're going to forget the money you made quickly, but the resentment your neighbor harbours against you if he feels he's been overcharged could take a long time to be forgotten.

You're very mistaken, actually. On more than one point of contention. Would you like some more detail, or shall we leave it at that?

Perhaps you could have "the woman" come out to repair your washer. I've
read that a woman generally is paid around 20 or 30% less than a man.
