Sorry - I didn't read all of the question. It will probably run a few hundred dollars - most of it being labor. I am going to guess approximately $300 or so... |

Funny - every appliance repairperson around here has commented about how much improved the new Frigidaire top loaders are. So, maybe you will get good long service out of yours Arthur. |

Funny--just last week my sister noticed her circa 2000 Amana ALW880QAW (plastic outer tub) leaking, making noise, and smelling like burning rubber. I looked at it last Sunday and sure enough, it was leaking from the tub seal...and that seemed to have ruined the spin bearing, as it spun very slowly, the belt slipping. I was only in town for the weekend so I didn't have time to work on it and I told her it wouldn't be worth the expense to pay someone. Needless to say, she was in a fury. They bought this 5-year-old house a year ago and have had to replace the dishwasher (which was a Frigidaire-made Amana tall tub), and now the washer. So she's shopping for a WP toploader this week--she said she just wanted something that would do the wash and not give her trouble. And motor couplers can be replaced in a snap! T. |
