Suicide move right there. That's when I stepped off too. It's sad to see Sears go. They had Craftsman tools, which was the every guy brand and they have an unrivaled parts supply. You can buy a part for darn near any consumer machine or gadget made in the last 25 years from Sears if you can provide them any information at all. We bought a Kenmore washer and dryer recently for the express reason that I can buy a part from Sears and fix my machine myself.
Kenmore used to be Whirlpool, but since 2008 it is a Korean company.
