Leak under barrel drum+ loud during spins
I saw that it was leaking under barrel after removing front panel .So I ordered tub seal and bearing kit plus basket and tub gaskets , not knowing that the seal and bearing kit comes with both gaskets, so do not order extra gaskets . So if the leak is above the transmission , I would recommend the seal and bearing kit!!+++ it is smooth and quiet now !

The washer was not expelling water
I am pretty much a novice at appliance repair but am curious enough to investigate and try to save some money. I found what appeared to be the worn part but even being unsure I ordered it. It turned out it was the right part and after installing it I reassembled the washer with no spare parts left over. During a test run it was discovered that the washer drain was partially plugged. I left the drain to the professional and after that all was fine. If it ain't one thing it's three.

Washer was making a clicking sound during wash and spin cycles.
Unplug the power cord and hoses. Pull washer away from the wall, tilt it backwards, reach under the washer and remove the belt.The motor has a spring loaded pulley which allows slack to roll the belt off. Turn the washer to the back is faceing you. There is a small panel with four screws in the lower left corner, take them out and remove the panel. Then you will see the drain pump. Remove the two hoses, the three screws holding the pump assembly. Remove the bad pump, and install a new one. Assemble every thing in reverse order, and sart washing.

Severe Vibration And Movement
I followed your advice for the part and watched a you tube video and it fixed the problem completely. . . . I am very happy and will relay this to all my friends. Take the time to check thoroughly what you are doing since the first video didnt tell me that there was a high pressure spring under the ring that held the snubber but I discovered this by watching the video and it all worked very well. Thank you-you saved me $700. 00.

Water leak from the bottom of the drain pump
It was very easy. Through the access panel in the back, remove both hoses, take out three screws with 3/8ths socket, remove pump being mindful of the belt and pulley, re-set the pump with belt in place, put the three screws back in, re-connect the hoses, and done ! 10-15 minute job at the most. There will be some residual water in the pump when removed.

BAd Noise & finally pump Locked up
I thought the noise was the thrust bearing. Replaced it but didn't fix. Washer worked but hstill had terrible noise. Went shopping for new washer - then pump locked up. I siphoned out the water (good idea) and folled ditections I found on this site. 1. pryed up top with screwdriver. Raised lid. 2. Removed the 2 front panel screws with a nutdriver. 3.Removed hose clamps from pump with pliers. 4. Removed 3 screws holding pump. 5.Replaced pump in reverse order. 6. Crossed fingers - it works fine - saved $800.00

Broken hinge on the lid
Exactly like the video told me to! Seriously, I watched once when I ordered the parts, watched it again just before I started the job, and played each step as I completed that step. It simply could not have been easier. Without the video, I doubt I could have located and released the latches on the top of the washer, but seeing not only where he put the knife but the motion he used to spring them made that step so much easier than I thought it would be. With your help, I only paid a quarter of what the repairman wanted to make this simple fix -- Thank you!

Lid hinge was broken on the washer lid
I followed the instructions on your video - it was very helpful! I would have never figured out how to take the top off without the video instructions. I released the top latches using the putty knife, removed the broken lid hinge & pin and installed the new ones.

machine would walk across floor & shake vilently
Repair went as described in instructions supplied and YouTube Video "snubber ring". I could not have removed tub springs without putting 72 quarters in springs before removing as seen in another repair video which made removal and reinstallation doable. I still don't understand how this inexpensive part can cause such a problem.
