My mother-in-law's Kenmore washer may have finally died. When it tries to agitate it just makes a horrible noise. The agitator doesn't move.
We bypassed a broken lid lock about six months ago. The water fill/pump out still works. It's been a good washer for 19 years! She doesn't sound like she really wants to repair it, she considers it to have given good service. Should I nudge her to try for a repair? Is it anything special? | ||

Similar issues I had a customer and she had same washer, similar issues…we tried replacing the gear parts for the agitator and that didn’t work…so she said let’s just get a new one. Age was about the same or slightly older. LG front load is only thing I can recommend of what’s out there today. Jon | ||

It works again!
Others did the investigation/repair, but it was evidently super easy. You just tip the washer back and everything is *right there* underneath. It turned out to be a (rubber?) coupler between the motor and transmission.
Repair cost was less than $10. The mother-in-law is happy. The Kenmore DD is back in service again. Thanks for the advice and suggestions! | ||
