Water leaking from door
Much easier than I thought. Watched the video a few times.The front control panel gave me a little fight which the video edited that part out And the spring clamp reinstall took the most time.There must be a tool for that??

Leaking
Followed the video except to use clamps to hold the Bellow To Front Panel Clamp in place while I worked the clamp around the from of the Bellow. I used a plastic pry tool in place of the suggested screw driver to pry the control panel off.

mice chewed thru hose
Pretty straight forward , It is a tight work are especially laying on your stomach. To make installation easier I recommend buying a 3-4 inch hose clamp instead of trying to use the old pinch style clamp. You will only need a zip tie if you reuse the existing clamps. remember to remove the plastic ball from the old rubber hose into the new hose.

Leaking
Used suggestions on list - water to lubricate bellows and an extra hand to secure the bellows. Biggest challenge was seating the bellow that attaches to the rim of the outer tub. After getting the bellow lip seated the rest was fairly easy including the bellow seat that secures to the outer door assembly. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the bellow was the problem even though the symptoms - leaking under the door - was the same as noted on the list of problems. Had to order the dispenser-to-tub hose as that looks to be the problem (had to contort to follow the leak all the way up to the hose).

Washer bellow replacement due to intense mold
I followed the clear directions. Any hiccups were due to wear of the parts as they were quite old. This included both wire clamps.

The hose from the detergent dispenser was dried out and cracked. Causing it to leak water during the different cycles.
I followed the video that accompanied the parts order confirmation. The replacement of the two parts, bellows and hose, were pretty straightforward. The job took a little less than an hour with little aggregation.

Washer would not drain
Checked for 120 V AC at pump connector. It was present . Pump was hot. Ordered new pump. Changing the pump is a piece of cake. Just tilt machine back and rest on a brick. Remove 3 5/16th screws . Disconnect 2 hoses and 1 plug. Took 10 minutes tops. Back in business.

Drive belt replacement
I never did the repair because Partselect.com shipped the wrong part. Then they charged me a 2nd time to resend the correct part plus the fees for shipping the correct part overnight which I did not get it until 2 days later. Now I shipped both parts back & have to wait for a refund.
I will never order from them again!

Old hot water inlet hose had budge at both ends.
Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Bought a washer without front leveling feet
The repair was simple as you can imagine. Thought I could buy these legs at any big box store or at least at the local hardware store. No such luck. Partselect had the right product---easy to order and easy to install. Things around here are great.

Water leaking from front glass of washer
The removal of the bellows was easy and quick. The instructional video was really good. Only one problem with video. The step of removing the console from washer leaves out that there is a center screw in the center of console. I almost broke the console. It took took a long time in getting bellows on interior area due to tight finger space. Wire gasket fairly easy. The outer gasket after getting door and latch on. Whew! That was a bear. Video looked easy. I finally had to get help to get it on. The reason was that every time I thought I had it, the bellows would roll off will the wire gasket. A screw type as the inner area would make it so much easier. Shipping. Kudos to your company. I was expecting that I would be without washer for a week. I ordered on a Friday and it was here early Monday morning. That was amazing. By the way I did this except the outer wire gasket by myself. I finally had to get "husband" to help with that. Thanks Parts Select! If the need arises that I need another part. You will be my go to company.
