I found a Bosch WFMC3200 Front Load Washer for sale for $100 and we are in need of a washer as the transmission on our whirlpool gold went bad and repairman told us it wasn't worth the cost of repair and I thought lets be frugal because we need to be and lets buy off of craigslist. This particuliar washer has the details: Bosch front loading washer w/pedistal in gd cond but pump needs to be repaired or replaced for the machine to work. I've been trying to find out how much a new pump is to see if it would be beneficial to buy this machine. Any thoughts advice.

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

The pump for those WFMC washers is part # 436440 and priced around $75USD at "repairclinic.com" or "searspartsdirect.com" to name a couple.

I would caution you though before going ahead and buying the pump, you may not need it. It is too common that folks mis-diagnose Bosch machines due to lack of knowledge or lack of interest, I can't say.

Often it is merely an obstruction in the pump or a stuck check ball in the sump. I'd suggest you wait until you can check it over before purchasing any parts you can't return. For $100 I'd buy any bosch as long as it isn't something major worn, like the main tub bearing gone.

Hope this answers your question. Thank you for choosing FixYa and I hope you'll take a moment to rate the info I provided for you here. Good luck.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)
