leaky (washing machine) transmission

I've been in the appliance business for 20+ years. Your machine is better then ANY machined mentioned in this thread!! Appliances today are rubbish!! China boards and parts! Now im not saying fix it at all cost. Im just sayin look into repairing it. I'm assuming condition is good? If you get 3-5 years out of todays appliances without a big repair your doing good.
