This is a question asked from the perspective of wanting to be able to do a DIY job a little more easily when the time comes...
Our current washer has to be completely taken apart —rear panel, top panel, intelligence board, door, front panel, and some other stuff— in order to get access to the pump.
Are there front-loader washers that provide a simple access panel to the pump, or locate the pump located where it can be easily reached when only the rear-panel is removed?
