The water keeps running when the steam option was selected even after turn off. So we had to disconnected the hot water tubing.

Hello Nancy, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, we recommend checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11723093. If it is faulty, replace it. If this does not solve your problem, the electronic control board, part number PS11731094, is probably the issue and needs to be replaced. We hope that helps!

Rear tub seal failure
I removed the top cover and then the back cover, released the belt tensioner and removed the drive belt. Then slid the tub out of the unit and onto the back dack. Sanded the remnents of the old seal off. Wiped the tub lip with laquer thinner and applied the "fast" drying glue supplied with the kit. Installed the seal and re-assembled the unit...works fine
