Hey everybody, I had a question about the tools needed to complete a job. I recently noticed a leak at the bottom of the outer tub of my washer near the shaft. I have an Amana ALW880QAW, so I was thinking of installing this kit: AP4253876 . The question I have is what tools will I need for all the parts in this kit, below is a list of what I think I need:
If this list is correct I'm up to about $300 in parts & tools, so I'd probably start looking at a new washer. Please let me know if there's any tools I don't really need or if there's any way to get this job done cheaper. Thanks!!

This is a major problem with these Maytag built machines.

I would go for a new basic top loader. In our area they are aggressively priced, and good 3.2 cu ft model can be had for less than $300.00

I was actually just looking online and I found this one: GE 4.1 cu. ft. IEC Colossal Capacity Washer: WAS $499 - WHRE5550KWW at The Home Depot

Any thoughts?

Was thanked: 2 time(s) in 2 post(s)
I would prefer the Whirlpool direct drive washer, about the same price,but easier to fix and repair parts cheaper.
