Keep us updated! Fortunately, washers are pretty simple and don't have too many parts. The basics
are all the same. Motor, pump, controls.
When I was in the military, I didn't have extra money to call in repairmen and like most military members,
did most home/auto repairs on my own. Often, I found that washer problems stemmed from clogged
hoses, a faulty switch or in belt driven drums, the belt itself. Hopefully, it will be something simple. Parts
are usually cheap, it's the labor that you get raked over the coals for.
What may help is if you don't have an exploded parts view of the washer, to do a google search and find your particular model so you have that handy when taking it apart. It not only helps to see how it all goes back together (grin) but also to identify part numbers/names if you need to replace anything.
And if you need to replace a faulty part, *take the bad part with you* to a parts supply store. Many models
have different versions of the same part and there's nothing more frustrating than taking the part home just to find that it looks identical to the bad part with the exception of a screw hole that's off by half an inch (don't ask).

thanks for all the answers I got - will see if hubby can handle this one - Susan no way is Sears sending a repair man out here for nothing - he tried hard to push
extra warranty or repair contract & I wouldn't get it - maybe I should have taken it 'cause if replacing a screw that had fallen out & he found it on the floor cost
me $180 I hate to see what this will cost. thank again- Joyce in La.
