My washer broke some months back. I was told if the part needed was available it would be repaired in a few weeks - if the part wasn’t available (which I was told was becoming more and more common) it could be 6 months or longer before a repair could be made.
Lucky for you your washer is not a limited run of 50. 99% of the time you can get a used part to get back up and running and not be forced to buy a new one.
