I broke the door handle off while trying to open the clothers dryer door.
Replacement handle arrived in a few days. It was very easy to install using only a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of pliers. The whole repair took only about 15 minutes and the replacement part fit exactly. I removed the two screws from the old handle, put the new handle in place and replaced the two screws. Just that easy. The door works fine now.

Washer would drain, but not spin
I had called a repair man; and fortunately he never returned my call. After reading many of the reviews involved with the same problem, and wanting to use my washer, I decided it was easy enough to give it a try. And so it was. 2 screws in back removed the cover; and 2 screws in the front of the washer permitted the removal of the affected part. Removed three "plugs" from old; put them on the new part; replaced it back in the washer, and replaced the two front screws, which held it in place. Replaced top, securing with the two screws. And surprise - surprise -- the washing machine was working again! Your reviews were so helpful and encouraging --- that this really old lady decided to try it --- and like they all said "It was really easy to fix."

Quickly fixed a dumb mistake.
After accidentally dropping a crystal clock (don't ask) near the open door of the front-loading washer, the plastic striker broke and couldn't be repaired. Without this part being functional, the washer won't start because the door can't be secured.
I ordered the new part, and it arrived quickly -- that's really the story here.
Replacing it meant removing two screws, pulling the damaged part off, slapping the new part in, and replacing the screws. My 4th grade daughter could have done this one -- wish they were all that easy!
I'm glad the part came so quickly. With a local supplier, it would have taken four more days.

A local technician diagnosed my problem as a faulty control board.
I followed the PartSelect video instructions for board removal and reinstallation of the new board. Even though I took a picture of the old board connections, I didn't need it. The video instructions were very clear, detailed and accurate.

Broken front on dispenser drawer
Despite putting all the information about my washer in the order, I received a dispenser drawer that was similar to the one I needed, but would not fit. It was also a slightly different color than the original part on my machine, so obviously someone just threw it in a box and sent it to me. It wasn’t even wrapped in plastic! Just the part in a box, no instructions, no bill of sale, nothing. When I needed to return it because it wasn’t the proper part, I HAD TO PAY THE $10.00 TO SHIP IT BACK!!! Really poor customer service in my opinion. Hopefully I will at least get a credit for the incorrect part that I had to pay to return.
