Water leaked into machine when idle.
1. Turned off water at wall and removed hoses from back of washer. 2.Removed three screws and laid dash panel forward onto towel. 3. Used pliers to slip hose clamp off of valve connector. 4. Disconnected two electrical connectors. 5. Removed two screws mounting inlet valve to washer and removed valve. 6. Reinstalled in reverse order. My only problem was a vibrating noise when hot water was selected. I found that the fit of the dash panel to the back of washer was torqued. I removed the panel mounting screws, made a better fit and added a dot of rubber insulation between the sheet metal parts where the screws attached. Success!!

Washer knob was stripped.
Followed the I minute video instruction. Easily removed old knob and simply slipped on new knob -- all in 5 minutes. And It worked -- and saved me around $70 for a service call that would have required me to be home for two visits. The part was only $10, including shipping!!

It had a broken belt.
I just did a google search and found a video that shows to use a zip tie to hold the belt to the big pulley and simply turn the drum and the belt goes right on. Then cut the zip tie off and you are ready to go. Took all of 3 minutes to change the belt from start to finish.

Timer Knob Replacement
Unplug appliance. Use needle nosed pliers to remove clip from behind the knob. Remove knob and replace with new knob. Push in to install the new knob until you hear the "click." There you have it. Easy. Another task completed from the "Honey-Do" list.

The old knob would not let me select the wash setting.
I took the pliers pulled the plastic clip off the back of the knob and pulled the knob off the dial lifted the dial off. I pushed the new dial on then pushed the new knob on and I was done. The hardest thing was to open the plastic bags the parts came in. The next time I will use a knife or something else to open the bags

Agitator did not move
With the instructions found online, this was a quick easy repair. I used youtube to have video to show the method. Used rope to pull up agitator, used wrench to loosen bolt and then put back together. Part was delivered really fast, I recommend Partselect.com for the parts you need!
