So that you would have to replace it of course! | ||

thats impossible for me to do
that is impossible for me to do i do not have the needed tools even if i would buy them it would cost me a fortune and like i said not even sure it is replaceable and if i did have to have that fix i would call in a tech as this is something i would never fix myself and with 11 years of use it would be good to have a tech inspect the washer because if a tech told us it would be wise to consider a replacement set we will if we have to but 1 step at a time

That handle is a few bucks, and comes off with a basic screwdriver. Those 2 screws in your first photo are the only ones you need to unscrew to fi it. | ||

Yeah, two screws, appear to be torx. You're in Canada ... can't say about there but Lowe's here lists a 5-piece torx screwdriver set (T10, T15, T20, T25, T30) for $9.98.
