For the right person, this could easily generate some profits.
$100 for the board, $100 for the Rotor, $100 for the Stator, $100 for the RPS, and you've paid for it. Anything past that (panels, door parts, drum, inlet valve, etc) is bonus.

If they're selling the dryer pictured, get them to toss in the washer for free.

Got a friend that makes 6 figures at his day job, still does this as a side hustle. Buys busted washers and dryers on FB marketplace, picks 'em up, fixes and flips 'em. Makes a good bit more than beer money.

The work is hilariously simple. Parts and tools cost about nothing, all standard stuff. Went over to pick up a dryer puller, had 2 sorts in his box. One fits 3 kinds of dryers, the other fits the rest. $5 part, if that. Probably $3.50 if you buy a 20 lot.

Been thinking on getting on this since he dropped out. Divorced his wife and travels with his gf in a nice camper, livin' the dream.

Parts are readily available for that model washer so it might be a worthwhile fix as well.
