I have had three Kenmore washing machines (really whirlpools) Flash` f20. I got them for free after the owners replaced the pressure switch and pump. I have never fixed anything but I decided it would be fun to take them apart for the box of screws and to use the water pumps for my pond. I accidentally fixed two out of three washing machines by replacing the hose to the water pressure switch ($20 online for the oem part) with some 1/4 inch sprinkler drip hose I had lying around. There was just a teeny tiny hole in the hose. Walla! I am suddenly a mechanic who fixes things!
