Lid wouldn’t lock keeping machine from working
Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.

The washing machine appeared stuck in the spin cycle
I watched a video on a few times that PartSelect sent me about how to make the switch from the broken lock set to the new one. And it really went just as the video showed. So far things are working.

Out of balance often
After loosening top screws on back ,snaps in front,no need to total remove top changing springs you have to reach below top of case with vice gripes and attach to spring rod about 8 inch down and lift up (tuff for 80 year old) tap down on plastic retainer, turn retainer 1/2 turn so hook will slip out ,now lower spring it will fall out of bottom retainer. Now for reinstall ,instead of vice gripes on the spring down inside case with no room , by hand take new (correct color) spring reach deep inside and install bottom into bottom retainer now take old spring run long end hook threw retainer hole in top case, hook to hook ,now you can pull new spring easy out the top about 3 inches and now vice gripes above case with enough room to reinstall top retainer remove gripes now only 3 more to go

the machine was spinning after a load was done,
any electrical device unplug the power cord. I followed the instructions the best I could understand them. but once the part was removed I took pics from my cell phone of how the wiring ran, and also what other connections I had to undo. all connections were made, connected the hot n cold hoses, plugged into the washer no beeps or sounds as before opened the hot n cold water valves, and the tub was being filled with water. could not turn on the washer, no lights or beeps... so I gave up I spent too much time on this machine and money too, hope to get an RMA for the Lid Switch assembly

Washer would not empty when it hot drain cycle
Once I determined it was the drain pump, (by taking off the drain hose and letting it empty by gravity, then running the spin cycle which worked ok) I ordered the part, got confirmation from PartSelect.com that it would fit my washer. I removed the old pump taking out the 6 screws needed to hold it and the cover in place and unplugged the electric connector. I installed the new pump from PartSelect.com using the same cover and 6 screws and electric connector. I reconnected the drain hose and the washer has worked perfectly since then!
