I threw in the towel, or rather my husband did. With no rebuilt motor available, I looked at the DD machines, and didn't find one I liked at either of two places. (I don't have the acumen to buy from Craigslist.) I nearly went for a new motor. But there was the Speed Queen with knobs, and that's...

Sigh It's a bad motor. It has trouble starting up, too--something I hadn't noticed. The tech sprayed some lubricant on the bearings, but it didn't really make it run all that much smoother. He's asked if I'd be okay with a re-built motor (yes); he thinks they have some in the shop. He'll check...

Thank you--That's sounds encouraging, and I can hope it's that simple after reading up on couplers. They'll come out tomorrow to check it out. (We don't want *me* doing any repairs, but I appreciate your confidence!)

Thank you, DADoES! It is indeed a LSC9355AW0--I'd typed it wrong. I'd pretty much determined to replace it with a Direct Drive machine from the nice people who sell refurbished machines who sold my daughter her washer. Still, I went downstairs to determine exactly when the noise started...

Wow, already several things to consider! The noise on the 1995 is at the very beginning, stops after water has filled. Then starts up again as it spins out. Interesting about overriding the lid lock on the Vacation Home Washer. I'd wondered about that--it had failed, and we needed to have it...

Please help me decide what to do. The issue is whether to repair a 1995 Whirlpool TL LSC9335AW0, which has a one-month old spin basket OR beg my husband for a new washer (which one, suggestions welcome after I explain). The facts: I have a balance disorder as well as sensitive skin. In our...
