Replaced water pump. Washer now works as new.
Wife is now happy!

Unplug machine
Move machine out from wall
Removed 4 screws on back plate
Removed the 2 screws holding the assembly to washer
Pulled old unit out and reversed process to put back together

But when I went to test it would not drain tipped washer up and removed hose from motor and found a sock inside
Remove sock and washer runs great.

Just a note this website was very helpful in finding the right part with the exploded view of parts

Thank you

Unplugged the washer, turned off water supply to washer, using channel lock pliers disconnected hoses to valve assembly, using nut driver removed two screws on back of console, pulled console away from top exposing valve, disconnected wire harness from valve assembly, using nut driver removed two screws holding valve assembly in place, removed defective valve assembly, transferred foam spacer from defective valve assembly to new valve assembly and installed new valve in opposite order of removal.

Took 4 screws out of back of control panel. Tested old capacitor. Installed new one. Put back on tested spin cycle everything is doing great

Look it up on YouTube to see how to repair the problem. Unscrewed the necessary screws. Took apart the top, pop open the loader replace the bezel. Put everything back together again. Was simple.

The parts I ordered were made of junk plastic and did not match up with the the existing parts. The parts did not end up fixing the problem and I bought a new washer instead.

Waste of money

Once I determined it was the drain pump, (by taking off the drain hose and letting it empty by gravity, then running the spin cycle which worked ok) I ordered the part, got confirmation from PartSelect.com that it would fit my washer. I removed the old pump taking out the 6 screws needed to hold it and the cover in place and unplugged the electric connector. I installed the new pump from PartSelect.com using the same cover and 6 screws and electric connector. I reconnected the drain hose and the washer has worked perfectly since then!

any electrical device unplug the power cord. I followed the instructions the best I could understand them. but once the part was removed I took pics from my cell phone of how the wiring ran, and also what other connections I had to undo. all connections were made, connected the hot n cold hoses, plugged into the washer no beeps or sounds as before opened the hot n cold water valves, and the tub was being filled with water. could not turn on the washer, no lights or beeps... so I gave up I spent too much time on this machine and money too, hope to get an RMA for the Lid Switch assembly

Took the belt cover and then replaced the pump. Did a dry run and everything was fine.

Removed the center agitator to clean it - had black mold and pink soap scum buildup underneath that you couldn't see or clean without taking it apart. Removed the bolt with ease. Upon tightening the bolt back in place, the bolt sheared in half, leaving the lower half threaded in place and the head in the socket. Had to use a drill bit and drill out the lower half of the bolt completely. Ordered the replacement bolt and reassembled everything in less than 5 minutes. Replacement part was perfect - hopefully it lasts longer than the original bolt.

Locked garage door.
Removed hoses after shutting off water.
Removed 4 10mm bolts and removed old valve and replaced.
Reverse the process.
Total time about 5 minutes.
Drank beer and then declared to wife after 30 minutes that the problem was solved.

Unplug the cord and shut off hot and cold water faucets.

headache avoidance: The male threads of the inlet valve are plastic. Gently turn the female hose ends onto them at the kitchen table with the eventual position in mind then tighten.

1. Remove 4 screws holding shiny metal backplate w/ 1/4" socket (easy)
2. Pry tabs loose, top of plate (easy).
3. Pull electric leads from 2 solenoids (easy).
4. Remove 2 long screws holding upper painted structure (easy).
5. Remove 2 screws holding valve in place (easy).
6. Tilt and slide the valve loose and pull it out (easy).
7. Replace valve and reverse steps 6-1.

n.b. no inside water tubes; water drips straight into tub

Also, an hour should be enough. I spent more time than needed guessing, dealing with a few issues, opening the machine again, starting over, etc.

ps. I guessed at the age.

Lift the cover, undo too screws, Slide out broken part, slide in new part put in the screws and close the lid.A piece of cake.

Thank you for the super fast service on Christmas eve no less!

The drain pump had three screws. Frist unplug the machine and turn the water off. And unplug the hose for the Hot and Clod Water. Make sure their no water in the tub. Unplug the pipe from the Tub. The unscrew the nut for the connector. Then unplug the connector and be careful not to damage plug for the connector. Press the plug connector with your finger or long nose pliers . Then just hook the new plumb and you all set.

Disconnect water lines.
Remove top control panel.
Remove 2 screws & disconnect wires & replace old for new
