Leak in top washer hose
Super straightforward to diagnose and repair.
There was puddle under the washer.
I removed the top (screws in rear, slide top toward rear slightly and lift) and followed the trail of water up to the top washer hose between the drum and detergent tray.
Two hose clamps to remove and replace, then replace the top and ready to go.
Noticed small tear in hose bellows and leak during reassembly
I already had the top of the washer open, from previous disassembly to clean the front loader seal, and when I ran a trial load, noticed a small 1/4" tear in the hose bellows that attaches to the drum.
Very simple repair, remove the existing hose by loosening the clamps, paying attention to their orientation. Install the existing hose clamps onto the new hose, install and tighten the hose clamps.
5 minute job, if the washer top is off (which is also simple).
Replace both bearings and seal also replace spider gear due to the bearing seal surface damage,also replace drum gasket and door gasket and all shock absorber.The clean up two more time then the repairs did.
1. Unplugged electric chord from wall. 2. Pulled washer out into open area to get behind it. 3. Turned off hot and cold water faucets 4. Used channel locks to remove hot water and cold water hoses from back of washer. Dropping hose into a bucket to catch water from hose. 5. Removed screws (Phillips screw driver) holding top to back of washer. 6. Pulled back on the top and lifted off washer. 7. Arranged new intake valve to mock location and setting of old intake valve. 8. Using Phillip screw driver, unscrewed old intake valve from back of washer. 9. Unconnected wiring from old intake valve. These were easily identified and not needed to mark left right center. 10. Using pliers, pinched hose clips and moved to middle of the hose. Did this for all 3 hoses. 11. Removed hose from old intake and connected to same location on new intake. Repeated for all 3 hoses. 12. Using pliers, pinched the clips and moved to the end of the new intake valve. Did the for all 3 hoses. 13. Using Phillips screw driver, screwed in the new intake valve where the old intake valve was located. 15. Inserted the wiring connects into new intake valve. 16. Reconnected water hoses back into washer machine (after inspecting and cleaning plastic strainer traps) 17. Turned on water faucets 18. Plugged in washer. 19. Ran an empty load for a cycle. 20. Did not fail. 21. Reattached top to washer. Laying down an inch from front and push forward to hear a click or lock. Then screwed in the 2 screws. 22. Pushed washer back into original location.
Watched video on U-Tube , unplug power cord, turn off water, take top off washing machine, remove water hoses, unscrew parts, remove hoses with pliers, install replacement parts, put all back together. Does not leak any more !
Ordered and replaced the hot and cold inlet valves - followed the instructions off of the video posted on the Part Select website ... completed the repair in less than 10 minutes
Old cold water inlet was leaking , as it progressively got worse,it poured.
With my wife's help( 2 shoukder surgeries ), pulled it forward, unplugged power source, turned Both water supplies off. Removed two phillip screws from each upper ( plastic) holder. Bumped top from front( works really well if you can use both arms,and with rubber gloves on for traction, or go to harbor freight purchase a glass suction cup) . I marked ( with a sharpie) the solenoids/hoses,and wires, ( facing front ,right to left,1,2,3.), removed plugs,loosened clamps and pushed them back,gave each hose a twist,and removed them. Took two screws 5/16 from the back that hold the valve assembly in out. Removed old valve assembly, put new in place, reverse procedure for assembly. Once all is hooked up,and water dried, I plugged in,turned water on watched for two cycles( you need not stand over it,if it leaks you will know it) to double check, installed top,and we pushed it back in place. Very simple to do,these washing machines are so easy to work on. Now we enjoy a dry laundry room,and you can to. ??
Door would not close because the part that was in the door that held it closed kept falling out.
Order the part through PartsSelect. It arrived in a few days and I (an 81 year old woman) replaced it within minutes with no help needed. It was super easy.
Tub assembly main bearing was sized, and grinding. Wore shaft 16th down.
Pretty straight forward video located on YouTube. Video is about 30 min long. Watched it for an overview and did it myself being mechanically inclined.

My front load washer was making a loud roaring sound while spinning out the water
The repair went good but time consuming. I replaced both inner and outer tub bearings along with the tub seal. I removed top by removing two screws in back then pulling back slighty then lifting up. I removed soap tray by pressing down tab and pulling out. Loosened soap dispenser and folded back on top. I removed control panel then front door panel. Remove back panel. Remove motor and shocks and hanging springs which there are two. Disconnect the hoses attached to tub then pull the tub. Remove screws holding the tub halves together. Use punch to remove bearings. NOTE: If you put the bearings in the freezer prior to installing, they go in much easier. I used the old bearing, set it on the new bearing then I tapped the old bearing so not to damage new bearings. I replaced the seal then put everything back together. Not difficult but time consuming.
