Baffle broke.
The baffle just slipped on with no tools required. The best thing was that we received our parts the next day after ordering them, and we just paid for regular shipping!

Broken handle
Simple. Found my torx bits, removed the screws, removed the old handle, placed the new handle in position, replaced screws.
This happened because I failed to wait for the click on the machine before I opened the door. It's a front loader and it needs time to drain the water before you open the door.

Plastic door handle broke off when caught on the pocket of my jacket
First, I unscrewed the two screws on the broken handle, using an allen wrench. Then, I screwed on the new handle in it's place. The new grey handle is much lighter in color than the original charcoal grey of the washer, but it blends well and works perfectly.

All 3 baffles had broken
Repair was described as a simple 5 minute job following the enclosed directions. There were no directions included. Customer service replied they could not provide any instructions. I located a technical manual online and determined the steps necessary to replace the baffles. While some may just click them in, a proper repair requires the control pannel and machine housing to be removed. Then the tub assembly must be removed and the plastic tub separated from the basket. Three screws (one for each baffle must be installed. (I recommend using blue loctite to keep the screws from backing out). The entire process must then be reversed. This is a slightly complicated (note the pencil is to mark the locations of clips for ease of reinstallation. I am an Engineer and this process took over 2 hours and required a significant amount of space to lay out the parts as the machine was totally disassembled. This assembly is best accomplished with 2 people and an entire afternoon without interruption. It can be done by anyone with some mechanical skills, but find the consumer services technical manual first and be prepared to keep track of a lot of small and large parts. This is not the simple 5 minute job described by others (unless you just want to snap the baffles on the basket and not lock them down). In that case go ahead and order a few more sets as the clips will break and the baffles will slide off and you will be replacing them about every 6 months.

The door handle was cracked and eventually broke off.
Ordered the part. When it came we needed to find the correct screwdriver because the screw did not work with philips head screwdriver. We used slotted even though it wasn't that type of screw. It worked just fine and installed very easily. It worked great.

door handle cracked from top bolt almost all the way through
I unscrewed thebolts from the old handle using a small flat screwdriver and removed the cracked handle. I then tossed away all the old duct tape holding the old handle together. Replaced new handle using same old bolts.Strongly cautioned children and husband to not wrench the washer handle open and closed. Tah Dah! Done.
