I found white shavings under the washer. Removed the front and back cover. Folded the top section back. Removed the drive belt. Removed the 6 suspension springs.

one person on each end of rod spring hook on center of rod one person on each end lifting rod with spring hook to required hole.

I used a putty knife to depress the holding clips under the front of the lid, then raised the lid to access the screws . Using a phillips head screwdriver I removed the screws holding the hinges and removed the door/lid then after removing the screw holding the broken pin, removed and replaced it with the new pin. and reinstalled the two screws on the hinges to reinstall the lid, and snapped the top back down. The whole thing took me less than 10 minuites to accomplish.

Replaced pump. Works great!

Watched and followed the video

I found on-line that replacing the snubber ring may fix the problem and ordered the part. With the instructions also downloaded I started taking the washer apart. Without the instructions the task would have been more difficult and possibly disastrous as I might have taken the bolts out that tighten down the snubber ring. All went well with a little patience. The washer works good.

I replaced both the pin and the hinge. The old screws did not fit these parts nor did either of the parts fit the other part although they were almost identical. Screws should be included with the parts as these are supposed to be replacements. Do not try to order only a pin or a hinge without the other. Delivery was very quick.

I found the parts that needed replaced on the Parts Select web sight.I clicked on see install video icon for replacement of the parts that needed replaced and that made the repair real easy.

removed old springs and inserted 6 new springs and works like a new machine

I watched the video first. It was correct except for the tool was not a phillips screwdriver, but a torx drive. Rounding up the tools took the longest. Everything else was just like in the video.

Removed the front panel of the washing machine with a putty knife and socket. Used pliers to lift off the old springs starting in the front and moving to the back. Used pliers to lift on new springs starting with the more difficult to reach ones in the back and worked towards the front. Replaced front panel. Removing and installing the springs was difficult because most of the springs are difficult to reach making it difficult to get enough leverage to stretch the springs.

First of all..the helpful hints from all with the problem is appreciated..I had a problem stretching the spings to connect..but other than that..because I am a senior..it was kind of difficult moving the machine around....but it is done..and there is a difference..I thank you all for your help and info..

watched youtube on how to change out the snubber ring. it was quite easy.
