Fix a Leaking Washing Machine and Escape MASSIVE Repair Bills
$56
1 Hour
Easy
A few years back I had to pay $250 to have our washing machine fixed. After watching the repair guy I knew the next time I could do this myself. Well, that day came last week and I successfully fixed my own washing machine.
This is a super easy repair that you can DIY. I wanted to share my tutorial so that you can save money and get your washer back up and running. Those dirty clothes aren't going to wash themselves, haha.
In my case, the drain pump needed to be replaced. It cost $56.80 and took about 1 hour to install.
For more details and a great video tutorial you can check out my blog post.
Cheers,
Jeff

Repairclinic.com has been my 'go to' site for years for parts. They have a diagnosis section that's helpful too. Our kitchenaid side by side fridge has to have the bottom door springs replaced ever so often and the Kitchenaid people were not helpful at all. I found this site over 5 years ago and have been pleased ever since.
