WW-PC197CS Samsung Washer - Overview

First unplug or turn off thee circuit breaker. Then remove the two screws to the top cover. Slide the cover back about three inches then remove the cover. Next take out the screw to the old sensor. Then unplug the electrical connection by squeezing and the pulling to disengage. Now set the old unit aside. You then grad your eight inch wire tie and hold the with flat side to the right and just to the right of the screw hole for the bracket is a square hole. Feed to wire tie into the square hole with your left hand then loop down left side of the end of new sensor and back up threw the square hole and tighten with the pliers. Your new sensor will be positioned just like it was mounted to the metal bracket. And pretty ridged. Now connect the vacuum hose and electrical connector.

The new hose arrived without a plug, so I found a golf tee that fit securely.
I put a few drops of dish soap on the machine end and it slid on with a little resistance.
I ran a few light cycles, and the leak has stopped.
Thank you

Take pics every step, easier re-assembly. Dismantled washer keeping bolt/screw section removed compartmentalized in a tackle box in the order of removal. Replaced drum support, bearings, seal, old blots. Too much to write but I was able to do it all in about 4 hours once all the parts finally came in.
