It was not what I would call easy to install but not terribly difficult either. Hardest part is the hose clamps. Washer works like new again!

didn't need this part
June 23, 2021

Since the customer service rep incorrectly diagnosed my problem by phone, and refused to use the Kenmore Connect feature that my appliance uses for proper diagnosis, I did not need this part. Had I waited for their installation tech to come out, it would have been 3 weeks without a washing machine, and I'd have a new drain pump I didn't even need -- and would have had to spend more on a proper repair. Thank goodness I called someone else for the right repair instead. I have sent the drain pump in for return, but have yet to see a credit for it.

I'm an auto technician so the repair was easy. Product arrived with some pieces broken off, did not affect functionality but was not impressed.

The purchase from Sears was easy and the Sears representative was wonderful to work with on obtaining the correct part. Have to dismantle the washing machine and the location is very tight to get in and work on the machine which is a negative. Otherwise great experience and the machine works and is quiet like brand new!
