Drum shock absorbers were broken
Pulled the locking pins out, replaced the shock absorbers and re-installed the locking pins. I used Channel Lock pliers to remove and replace the locking pins. i used a deep socket to hold down the tab on the locking pins so they could be pushed out. The new shock absorbers came with installation instructions.
door latch was broken, door would not shut properly.
Used a screw driver to remove 2 screws. Removed broken latch. Installed new latch with the 2 screws. Works like new. Took about 5 minutes and fixed the problem.
The instructions that come with parts say to pull pins out with pliers. not much room to do that. I used hammers and punches where I had access and prybars nail puller an hammer to offset where the water outlet was in the way. I used a short handle hammer to install three of the pins. The third I used a prybar and spacer blocks.
we took the hoses off then unscrewed the bracket that was connected to the part and then once out we put bracket onto the new part and screwed it back to the washer connected the hose back and WOW the water was flowing
The video was most helpful, and the left shock replacement went as shown. The sucker punch was getting to the right shock - much harder. First notice video has washer on a stand. How nice to have had it up on a table. LOL As it was I tilted the machine back with a 6 inch block under the front. Still a bear to get to the shock, but w/ patience, doable even though you are flat out on the floor. The old shocks were so bad that the pistons fell out once it was removed. It takes some strength to get the pins through the new shocks, and as I have a weak left hand I had to resort to using a C-clamp to help. If I could have gotten my right hand in there I may not have needed it. Right hand did have to hold the clamp as it had to just catch the side of the pin hole since the pin is pointed and sticks out past the mounting bracket when seated. I also ordered a spring but they both were still good.
The Kenmore front-load washing machine was neither tumbling nor spinning
I found a person on youtube that had a similar issue with a Fridgidaire washer. Since my Kenmore was quite similar, I was able to see how the installation would take place. I bought the new motor from Parts Select, and when it arrived, the steps needed to repair the washer was: 1) Unplug the washer 2) Turn off water supply at the wall for hot and cold water 3) Pushed washer away from the wall. 4) Remove the water supply hoses by unscrewing them on the washer end. These were on tight, so I needed to use pliers to unscrew the hoses. 5) I removed the multiple screws on the back panel of the washer. I think there were 12 or 16 screws. 6) Once all the screws on the main panel in back were removed, I removed the back panel and set it aside. 7) I located the motor near the bottom of the tub and removed the two slide-in type electrical connectors. There was also a grounding wire, and I left it attached at this point. 8) Using a socket set, I removed the four screws that mounted the motor to the tub. 9) Once the four screws were removed, I was able to push the old motor back about an inch so the motor was no longer on the sleeves that held it in place, and I pulled the motor toward me. The grounding wire was still connected at this point. 10) Once I was able to get the motor to the back of the washing machine, so I could see it, I could then use a star-screwdriver to remove the grounding wire. 11) Then I went through the same steps backward to install the new motor, which matched the old motor exactly. The time from when I started to when I was completed was about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I removed the front access cover and the rear cover. It was also necessary to remove the water level sensor (attached to the tub drain hose) to access one of the shocks. Not having a 1/2" deep socket, I used a 2" piece of 1/2" copper pipe to depress the locking tab on the shock attachment pins--worked great. Pulled the pins out with pliers. Putting the pins back in after replacing the shocks was easiest to do using 'channel-lock' pliers to grab the bracket and the pin head and squeeze in the pin. The only problem was that my copper pipe piece fell into the drain hose when removing one of the pins! Had to take the drain hose loose to fish it out.
It was so easy to replace. I called a local appliance store and they wanted approx $105.00 to rush the part or $95 to have it shipped from the east coast...I went on your website and with delivery the cost was $16.07. I was thrilled...the existing screws were in very tight so all I needed was an electric screw driver.
The latch arrived in 3 days. What a piece of cake!!! I removed the broken latch and installed the new latch using the same screws in 5 minutes. It works like a charm!
Washer door would not stay closed. plastic latch was broke
I removed the 2 screws that held the broken latch together. The screws were a little hard to remove. Once I removed the screws, replacing the new latch was a piece of cake.
Spring and shock absorber broken, tub fallen down. The washer was totally inoperable
Removed lower access panel. Removed top of washer. Attached spring and lifted tub into place. Removed and replaced both vibration/shock absorbers (most difficult part, not easily accessible).
