Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Washing machine lid kept banging shut and rattled when the clothes were being washed.
I was only missing one of the bumpers but that was in pretty poor shape so I replaced them both. It didn't take much to do. Just pressed the bumper into place and Viola! instant gratification.

Burning smell coming from the machine
I watched the YouTube video twice and it was just as easy as in the video. No problems. I ran a couple of test loads and it was back working like a champ. My parents had their belt changed by a repair man and it cot them $150 (pretty reasonable). This whole repair cost only $45 and 15 minutes (including the video watching time!). It pays to do the simple things.

Water leaking from the transmission shaft
Being mechanically inclined, I found this repair pretty straight forward. First, watch the video and keep returning to it to double check yourself. Second, find someone with the spanner wrench, or purchase one. I called a appliance repair shop, and they loaned me one with a refundable deposit. My only compliant is the the out side tub bolts have a rubber washer that is not included with the repair parts kit. Inspect the rubber or find replacements. As the video explains, "TIGHTEN THE NUTS not the BOLTS", this will keep the old rubber washers from twisting. Recommend replacing your transmission shaft bearing and wash tub seal at the same time, If you can afford them.

screeching noise during spin cycle
contacted Justanswer.com with description. Expert defined problem, identified part need and gave us link to your website. Rapid arrival of part, but we took a couple of weeks to get around to it as the washer was operational, just noisy. Website video of how to do repair was invaluable. Watched prior to starting the job and checked video again during repair to verify understanding. Wonderful to be independent of the vagaries of appliance repair. I would recommend Justanswer and PartSelect to anyone!

Leaking water through middle of tub down over transmission
Exactly as shown in your provided video from You Tube. What a life saver. The description of needed tools, and the fact that the main nuts securing the tub were REVERSE thread! I would not have suspected that and probably would still be beating on them, tightening them rather than loosening them!It is worth the price to purchase the spanner wrench (correct style), used to remove those tub nuts. Thanks for the great service and the video. Well done!

dryer wouldn't start
I found on youtube that there are directions to repair. Dryer problems are usually one of three things, the door switch being one of them. i checked this last (should have been first). ordered the part( about 65% off sear's cost) and it came in one day! It went on really easy as long as you knew from repair video how to access inside. almost spent $400.00 on a new one.
