Part #DC66-00470B
A washer that walks across the floor or becomes unusually noisy may have a weak suspension damper. The rear shock absorbs tub movement during washing and spinning, helping the machine run more smoothly. These symptoms do not prove the damper has failed, so first check the floor, leveling feet, load size, and suspension springs. Match the replacement to the complete model because mounting ends and force ratings can differ. Disconnect power and water before opening the cabinet. Keep the tub supported, note each fasteners position, and avoid pinching hoses or wires during reassembly. Run an empty rinse and spin cycle to check for leaks, noise, and steady movement.

Door lock was in the locked position and door could not close

I bought a new door lock for 132 dollars (item number PS2037196).

Ultimately you have to get to the inside of the machine where the door lock is located in order to see if you will need this door lock that I bought.

DISCONNECT POWER FROM MACHINE.

First take off the top by taking off the 2 screws on the bac k of the machine.

Second take off the control panel, I believe there are about 5 or 6 screws for that.
(there's also a screw when you open up the detergent compartment on the bottom left- also, a lever must be pushed in order for the compartment to come off- it MUST be taken off).

Third unscrew the top of the front white plate.. there should be a 5 or 6 screws for that.
You don't need to take off the entire front plate.

Finally unscrew 3 screws that hold the door lock in place .. make sure your hands is in the machine- the back of door lock to catch the lock when you're on the last screw.

Gently take out the door lock from the side with the cables attached by holding the white metal door open (it bends).

Try to pull on the bottom of the door lock (its a manual release). If it doesn't release you need to buy a new door lock like I did... if it does release then you don't need a door lock and just reassemble.
(Note: You can also try plugging in the machine and THEN pulling down on the manual release. When I tried this the door lock just vibrated and nothing happened so I bought a new door lock.)

If you have the new door lock continue here:

Take out all 3 cables on the old door lock by pressing on the corresponding clips.

Attach the new door lock with the correct cables. Assemble machine back together.

Thats it.
