Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.
REALLY easy-
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.

Leaking inlet value
Installing the inlet value was very easy the only thing was a very small "O" ring wasn't supplied with the value, so I removed the one on the leaking value. Not care must be taken not to damage the used "O"
The washer is running with no leaks
Thank you, for, saving me hundreds of dollars

Washer would not drain after a load of wash
Being a woman I had to figure out tipping it in its front. I put it on a dollie and drop it down real easy.
Removed all water lines after water was shut off.
Removed bolts. Removed bolts on plate to the right to unplug old pump.
Plugged in new one and replaced all bolts, hoses and tipped her back up. Works like a charm and I saved $408 by doing it myself!!!!!

The washer did not drain. It also did not click or sound like the drain cycle was being engaged.
Emptied the washer, took the back cover off, tipped it foward, unplugge the old pump, remove two mount bolts. The replaced the new pump. The new pump resolved the issue.

Water would drip onto the tub when not running
Take cover off use socket driver to remove two hex head machine screws. There was a foam piece attached to the old part that i pealed off and attached to the new part. It’s there to prevent rattles. There is a tube that pulls out of the old part and a grommet inside that must be removed and placed in the new part. Connect the two electrical plugs and install the new part just like the old part came out.

The washer would fill with water then stop.
Open up the top of the washer per instructions. Remove the old switch and wiring harness. Install the new wiring harness and switch. The instructions that were provided are very descriptive so the installation went flawlessly. The switch has been redesigned and looks to be more robust than the original. The washer now works like new.

Drive belt worn out on washer wouldn't wash (cycle) belt had stretched and wrapped around motor
First, I made sure the washer was empty of cloths and water and then unplugged the appliance. I laid a towel down on the floor just in case there was any water remaining in the drum and I slowly laid the washer on its side, I was able to do this with the drain and water hoses still connected to the washer, be careful you do not rip any of these connections or simply disconnect, to each is own. Once I had the washer on its side, I used the socket wrench to remove the 3 bolts holding the belt drive cover on the motor. I placed the cover and bolts to the side, and I began pulling off the old belt that had slipped, stretched, wrapped and ultimately hung up the motor off buy unwrapping it from the motor itself. Once the motor was free from the belt, the wheel was able to spin like it is supposed to. I installed the new belt by simply wrapping it on the motor wheel and spinning it on to grab onto the second wheel, just make sure to line the belt up correctly so it does not fall off. I placed the cover back over the belt and bolted on the 3 bolts. I flipped my washer back up and ran a small wash cycle to make sure that the belt was working properly and once it began to wash, I threw in some cloths and began washing as normal. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.

Lid wouldn’t lock keeping machine from working
Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.

Selector switches were non responsive in operation and diagnostics.
I downloaded the repair manual on line and followed the instructions for running the diagnostics. This showed that the selector switches were faulty. I then replaced the selector switches following the instructions in the repair manual. Couldn't have been easier.
