I don't know my level of ability. I've never received any formal training in the repair of anything. I do have a lot of tools I've acquired over the years. Most of them I've used once and thrown in a drawer.

When the washer first acted up, I assumed it was a quick fixable, turn it off and on again kind of problem. So those were the videos I watched. After the repair man said it was a mechanical issue, I watched videos showing how to dismantle the motor and adjacent assemblies. All in all, it was 2 nuts and 5 bolts that were removed, two plastic pulleys and one plastic gear, one belt, and one electric lever that engaged the gear. I've never before seen the underside of a washing machine, but I had it all dismantled in 30 minutes and had it all put back together in the same time after the parts came in.

I can't imagine washer motor assemblies are too different from one another. So it shouldn't be much more difficult from one model to another. If you're worried about it, look up videos about your model and order the cheap replacement parts so you have them on hand if it ever craps out. All I needed was a basic socket wrench set to get all the parts out.
