Broken Agitator
  • David from Portsmouth, VA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Unplug unit. Unscrew securing nut, remove agitator, install new part (ensuring splines mate properly) and secure with nut. The nut is molded into the plastic top of the agitator, therefore no tools were required. Very simple and straight forward.

A Leak In The Water Inlet Valve
  • Nancy from Oquossoc, ME
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers
It took longer to remove and then replace the back of the washer than to replace the water inlet valve. The video made it look easy and it was!. For the next perso: remember that if the water valve springs a leak and the washer has water in it, turn the dial to spin and the water will leave the drum. No need to siphon out the water.

Water overflowed not shutting off.
  • Harold from Portland, OR
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
I turned off water valves. I then unplugged the AC. I took the 4 screws out on the back end of the top cover of the washer. I removed the two water lines from the water inlet vales and the two electrical connectors. I then removed the two screws holding the water valve assembly and it came out easy. Installed new water valve assembly moun ted with two screws , then put the electrical connection and water lines back on new water valve assembly. I turned the incoming water vales on and installed the top cover with the four back screws and was done.

My washer started making a loud, screeching noise and then stopped working.
  • Tom from Hamilton, OH
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
Following the easy instructions on PartSelect's website, I first removed the screws from the bottom, front of the washer. Then, using the putty knife, I unhooked the clips holding the washer top to the front and pulled off the front. I pushed in the belt wheel and removed the old belt, which was being held on by one strand. Then, I put on the new belt, put the front back on, replaced the screws and then pushed the washer lid back down over the clips. It worked perfectly and took less than 15 minutes and cost me next to nothing. Thanks for a great site!

The washer hose assembly had mutiple tears in the bellow section of the hose, towards the outlet net the spout.
  • Humberto Aarón from Castroville, TX
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
Used a metal cooking spoon to pry open the lid, held it in place with a chain (mentioned in the tools required) and used needlenose pliers to remove the clamp on the old hose assmbly. Transferd that clamp to the new hose assembly and replace the (1) screw holding it in place. Closed the lid of the washer, and now it is like the problm had never existed. (Very easy fix, 1 of 10 on difficulty scale).

Wouldn't rinse, spin, or pump out the water
  • Pauline from Kelseyville, CA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Ordered the part online from PartSelect and it arrived Friday morning just 3 days later to my front door. Removed 2 screws, disconnected 2 wires, screwed the new part into place, plugged in the new wires and it still didn't work. Looks like my washer is just too old. So . . . I called PartSelect, explained everything. Three days later a f ull refund was in my bank account. Shop PartSelect with confidence. I will be back!

worn belt and broken lid strike
  • Linda from Scio, NY
  • Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
The longest part was cleaning and taking the washer apart , the screws were rusted to the bottom of the washer front,had to spray and pound on screws to get them out.after cleaning dirt and rust in the washer I greased the idle pulley.Putting on the belt was a snap.I also had to repair a leg screw that keeps the washer level, Washer runs like a new washer. very Pleased with the results. Its like having an old washer restored to new. it looks and sounds like a new washer.It took less then 5 mins to change the lid strike.

When filling the washer Water ran out of it and flooded the floor.
  • Sheri from Wrightsville, PA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench set
Remove the agitator and the 2 bolts that clamp the spin drum to the shaft and pull up on drum the 2 seals are on the shaft right there. Pry up on the seals to remove them. Install all seals and Be sure to completely clean all parts before putting them back in the machine and re assemble the machine. The bad part of this job is if you hav e used powdered soap it took 3 hours to clean the parts before reassembly.

Drive block fitting problem
  • Barbara from Calexico, CA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers
The drive block spline was loose in the Agitator, for the now block to fit tight enough to stay in place while reassembly of the Agitator, ( keep falling out) the old block had to be driven out. Had to design a wire tool to hold the block in place until the Agitator could be fitted over the shaft and seated tight on the shaft drive, then pulled the wire out. Wasn't the most easy task to do and sure took more than 5 min. to install.
