Hi All,
It had to happen, quite old Kenmore (LLR 6233AW0) upright washing machine, the agitator has stopped agitating. It gave about two minutes of light clunking noises then stopped shuffling around. It spins by hand with a click in CW-direction.
On a very tight retirement income so money is an issue, but I am pretty handy at fixing things, so...
I am guessing a stripped gear in the gearbox or a worn reciprocating-link somewhere. At this point I am not sure how the thing works. Can someone who knows the mechanics of these things tell me.
How likely is this to be a big tear down job?
I need to balance the replacement cost with the repair effort as I am old and not good at crawling around on the concrete floor in hands and knees for too long.
Thanks
