Violent shake
You have to take the top off of the washer and the four suspension rods are at each corner. Fairly simple removal and installation of the rods. A quick you tube search is all it took. Easy peasy.

Transmission leaking oil from seal. Separately the cold water solenoid was allowing drip I tub when not in use.
Replaced with new transmission platform. Unfortunately the seal is irreplaceable. Must have 1-5/16 inch wrench for tub nut (not 1-11/16).
Replaced with new water valve solenoid. Leak stopped. Yah!

Auger would spin in both directions but not spin while washing
Used a Phillips screw driver to lock the top and bottom of auger. Took a while to separate from base. Used another driver to remove old base and put the new one on with nut driver. Placed auger on base and turned to lock. Job done and works great.
Thanks

Will not drain
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.

Lid lock blinks, washer will not operate
Put the parts in, turned washer on.....lid lock still blinks, will not operate. Suggest the control board that sends the signal to the solenoid lid lock switch is defective. Buying a new washer, scrapping this one.

Water Inlet Valve dripping water into tub after use.
Easy fix. Take out the two screws on the backside of the control panel and remove control panel out of the way. You will need a long shaft nut driver or 1/4 inch socket extension to be able to get to the nuts, one on each side of the back of the control panel. The water inlet valve is right there in your face. Easy to remove and replace. Remember to save the small O-ring in the center of the top of the valve and reuse it. Oh, by-the-way, shut the water off first and unplug the washer. Replacement part was a perfect match.

Transmission tested bad. Would not agitate back & forth.
Remove agitator, had to cut out the top half. It would not twist out. Remove the bottom plate of the agitator. Remove the 33 mm bolt from the spindle. (impact wrench) Underneath remove water pump, clutch solenoid, motor and transmission pulley. Remove eight bolts holding transmission. Pull transmission down and disconnect the wiring harness. Reinstall new transmission and replace components. Test machine after installing agitator bottom plate before adding top half of agitator. Just in case there was a problem. Machine is running well!!!

Top of auger was broken
Instructions were fairly good, line up holes and push a phillips head screwdriver thru auger then twist it off. Problem is you can only use a short screwdriver due to space limitations, and it is or at least for me was impossible to twist the auger off as directed, but after I lost my temper and gave the screwdriver a good thump (auger was already broke, what's the harm) with my left hand the auger came right off, putting the new one on is very simple.
