Trying to decide if it is worth it to replace the 'mother board' on our five year old Kenmore washer (Model 417 48102701) for $400ish or buy a new washer for around $700ish?? **Bought the washer before i was a snowball rolling gazelle trying to grow a mustache, so don't shame my obviously uninformed purchase. ;) ** Buying a used washer would be 100% my first choice, SO many great deals to be had, but the husband has put his foot down on the issue... So the options open are fix or buy new. Or, maybe another option if anyone knows of one, or knows of a way to get an amazing deal on a new washer! Or the best most economically priced, longest lasting, washer. Any help is appreciated... You can also send quarters, lots and lots of quarters! :)
Note :: I am handy. And can almost always fix, or at least attempt to fix, things that need a repair. Unfortunately, not when it comes to a major repair of an appliance. So, I have no clue if it really is the mother board, or if I'm being ripped off. The work comes with a 90 day warrantee, at least! :))
