finally after 34 yrs. LOL!!! It needed a new motor so we finally bought a new one. Sears had the one I wanted on sale but I did not want to buy from them since they ticked me off. I bought it from Lowes & they matched Sears price plus 10% so I got it $100 off regular price. They delivered it yesterday. Had to do laundry all day to get caught up. Bought a Whirlpool. Too bad it won't last as long as my other one since they don't make them like they used to.
