So here's the deal:
Pump or at least the pump valve wants changing on my Whirlpool LC4900. Have decided to call in a professional since one has neither the time nor expertise for the job.
My first choice was to ring up Sears Repair, since not only did Sears sell a similar washer under the "Kenmore" brand (made by Whirlpool), but one could place the entire service call and charges for any parts on my Sears credit card. Plan on having the belt looked at whilst the cabinet is off and possibly replaced, and also whatever else might want attention.
Only fly in the ointment seems to be that one cannot find anyone with anything decent to say about Sear's repair service locally. Most complain of having to wait days for an appointment, only to have someone show up and either mess about the job and or tell them something they already know and leave. All of which one is charged a rather hefty fee just for walking into the door.
In contrast we have a local independent washing machine repairman who has been in business for over thirty years. He does not take credit cards but does give a one year warranty on his work.
