So this weekend past I spent several quality hours with my nearly 20-year-old Kenmore front loader washing machine. I got the thing disassembled, drum out and pulled apart and successfully replace the inner and outer rear drum bearings! I was so proud of myself! Then, just as I had everything nearly buttoned up, I noticed that the pump assembly under the front end of the drum was not properly secured to the bracket it was supposed to be screwed on to. So, I decided to set it back in place and screw the pump assembly to the proper spot. (You know where this is going)
As I was trying to push a rubber bushing onto the pump assembly's mounting point, the plastic pump housing cracked - badly. I had so wanted to test out the new bearings but now have to wait for a replacement pump to be delivered. There were no new pump assemblies for my washer model to be had anywhere, but I found a used (but reportedly working) pump assembly on EBay and ordered it. Tracking number says it will be here this coming Thursday (3 days).
I wanted to scream, but I decided to laugh instead...but it was the kind of laugh Jack Nicholson had in The Shinning :livid:
