Replacement fit perfectly.

I replaced a bad thermostat

Easy for a 87 year old.I just snapped the cover to the filter basket and then inserted the whole basket into the

Didn't need a repairman for this project! Ordered the part (seems like on Sunday) and got it really quick (the next Wednesday). Opened the package, placed the part where it was supposed to go and shazam!!!! Fixed it was quick and easy!

first of all, the parts i ordered arrived THE NEXT DAY, which is fantastic. and all for under a hundred bucks. secondly, the parts came with excellently detailed instructions that included photos, so the repair itself was pretty easy. i opened up the washer, disconnected 2 hoses, slid the entire tub/motor assembly out as directed, loosened the nuts holding the old suspension springs in place, removed the old tub spring, lifted the tub off the old suspension springs, removed and replaced the springs with new ones, and put everything back together again. tub is tight, spin cycle is nearly silent...it's like a new machine. the only reason the repair took as long as it did was because i took the opportunity to clean everything out in there--about a decade worth of grime and dust. cleaned the hoses, cleaned up the tub, cleaned under everything. this is my second repair with partselect (the dryer half of my machine went bad last month), and the second time the repair has gone flawlessly. i couldn't be happier.

From the front, taped part in place and then assembled springs and insulator from the rear. Difficulty occurred with access to the back of the sensor due to the air duct interference. The sharp edges of the sheet metal parts increases the risk of cuts. First shipment was missing the second electrode but Part Select immediately replaced the shipment. My experience has to be considered Excellent and I would go to Part Select first for my next order.

I ordered the part(and a backup) and had it in two days. 5 days less than ordering from sears.

Simply put it in the exhaust hole.

Repair was not successful

I just changed for the new one! 2 seconds.

Replaced hinge switch. Still no spin cycle. Noticed hinge bearing cracked & if hinge forced into switch, spin activated. Ordered new hinge bearings.Spin cycle still didn't engage. On further examination, observed that hinge was bent. Straightened hinge & worked like a charm. Didn't really need new switch or bearings. NOTE : Avoid having washer door bang shut.Took longer than expected, but each procedure was simple.

Removed the control panel and the cabanit. Then removed the adjutatior . Removed the motor and gear box slid the old shaft out and put the new one in put back together. Took about one hour .

There are youtube vids on how to get the thing open. I just wish I'd known the following: 1.remove agitator BEFORE opening the unit up and leaning it back (much easier to work inside the tube with it upright). 2. be aware that a free-floating part known as the skate plate can dislodge while the unit is on it's side/back. It is a generally triangular piece of flat-ish metal between the base of the tub and the top of the drive-train chassis. If it doesn't line up properly after you replace the parts you're going to get a noisy, clanking spin cycle the next time you run the thing (as I discovered).

Not knowing exactly what needed to be replaced I used the in-site questionnaire and followed through to problem and then ordered the first two items suggestions. Turned out the Heating Element Connection Wire Kit was redundant and not needed as the Cycling Thermostat included two such wire kits. I watched the video on the site and that gave me a fairly good idea how to proceed. I removed the back panel, lot of small screws, and then the Thermostat was easy to see. There are two similar looking parts but after closer look only one matched the new thermostat. Super easy, just remove wires and old thermostat and replace with new item and then before actually reinstalling back panel I put a load of damp clothes to dry. Half hour later...Wallaaa...problem resolved. Good luck with your fix. Oh, there is a sheet referencing to set the new thermostat if needed to a certain limit, however using old thermostat with its embedded model # found that factory setting for new one was fine. So, no need to reset.
