Frigidaire 134051000 Washing machine belt

The product arrived on time. The belt change was very easy. Actually, I went to YouTube to do some research. I knew if all I had to do was replace a broken belt it would be easy and cheap. But after I put the belt on and put the back cover back on. It was too good to be true. The washing machine went through a normal wash, but when it went to the final rinse. Then the washing machine started making loud noises because it was spinning very quickly. I knew that the two shock absorbers in the washing machine were intact and not broken. I also knew that the way the car turned was out of whack. So there was only one realization. I had to replace the bearing. Model #41742052100 Kenmore Disc Bearing is $200. The bearing is actually one piece with the drum attached. And the washing machine is $30. These are just parts. Instead, I went to a used equipment store and bought a refurbished Kenmore washer for what would have cost me the parts alone. I just spent $12 (the cost of the belt) to diagnose and see if my Kenmore washer is worth repairing. If I hired a mechanic it would cost me $150-$200 just to change the belt and say I needed new bearings and I would charge another $500 for the job. The replacement washing machine was a newer Kenmore than my old machine. It was also top loading compared to my front loading. In general, I am satisfied with the replacement of the belt. It did what it had to do, but it wasn't just the belt that needed replacing. This belt is also an OEM belt, not an aftermarket belt. It's 5/5 for me. Too bad my washing machine had more problems than a broken belt.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
