I have used Tom's Element Shop for a very long time to obtain spare parts for numerous appliances including washing machines, ovens, dishwashers, dyers and IXL tastics. A washing machine recommended by them is still going strong well after 10 years, with the only 2 repairs required being the rubber connector from the motor to gearbox, which is a sacrificial part that saves the gearbox and/or motor from the machine being overloaded. The connector was easily and quickly available through Tom's.
