Water pump leaked, washer was just 3 years old.

This is the same part that is on many Maytag washers. I cannot believe it leaked so soon. I spent 45 minutes or better on the phone with Maytag/Roper. Went through at least 5 people (as I was disconnected once), transfered to someone else mid sentence because I bought it at Lowes. I mean as soon as I said Lowes it was like, beep done. Oh and by the way after all that they still could not find the part I was looking for let alone give me a price. I was looking on the internet while on the phone and found this place. The prints/drawings are awesome and my part came in about 3 days standard shipping. I have book marked this site and will go nowhere else. The repair took about 5 minutes, poped off the old part and on with the new. I only used pliers to disconnect the water so I could move the washer out.
