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.

Leaking from the bottom of the washer. Worse in the "clean washer cycle mode" which is a pretty violent cycle.
Watched the videos which were key! Thanks Parts Select! Replaced Bellows and dispenser hose. Cleaned all areas really well where new hose and bellows attached. Ran the washer in "clean washer mode" twice. Not a drop leaking. Thank you!

The drain hose had a leak
First unplug the washer and turn water off..Next take off back of the washer ( I used a socket set). Then underneath the front load tub, take that panel off to get to the pump (there are 3 screws in the front panel). Then get a towel put it underneath the water pump. Next take your pliers and squeeze the tab holding the end of the drain hose where it connects to the pump, Slide the clip up on the pump connection, pull off hose ,make sure your towel is underneath the end of the hose.Next reach your hand through the back of the washer and squeeze the plastic holder w[th your hand to release the hose. Then pull old hose out and replace it the the new hose. Just reverse the steps to put it in..

It didn't seem like the drum was spinning fast enough when washing a full load to wring all the water out of the clothes
I basically just followed the directions in the Parts Select video. The only thing that was a little difficult was getting the new belt to feed onto the drum pulley, but after a couple of tries I was able to get it on. I'm glad the video mentioned this might be a little difficult or I might have thought I was doing something wrong.

pump impeller broken
Only needed a pair of pliers for the clamps on the hoses connected to the pump. Removed the old pump ( no tools needed) and reinstalled the hoses. Works like a charm!

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.

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.
