Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Would not pump water out.water filled and lid would lock, when put on drain and spin cycle, would just get a low humming sound.
Dipped water out as much as possible,tited washer at a 45 degree angle and propped it up. Took the 3 bolts out holding the pump assembly and the 3 bolts holding the belt guard.Unplug wire connecter,pull out assembly and than pull drain hose off of assembly. Reinstall the same as you take apart. Was a easy fix, and worked as it should.

Washer wouldn’t function using any cycle.
First thing is to download and print the programming instructions for the new control board. The instructions for downloading come with the control board. The control board fits multiple models and has to be programmed for your particular model. Unplug the washer and pull it out enough to work from the back. Remove the main control knob by pulling it off. At the top back use the nut driver and remove the 4 screws holding the metal cover. There’s a ground wire attached to the inside of the panel that doesn’t have to be removed. Let the metal cover dangle. Remove the two screws that hold the top control panel. They are located at the ends of the control panel. Slide the main control panel towards the back of the washer above 1/2” and lift it up and roll towards the front of the washer which puts the main control board in a position that allows removal. Unplug all of the connectors. Remove the 3 or 4 screws holding the plastic board stiffener, unsnap the two posts holding it to the control board and remove it. Remove the main control board. Compare the old and new board. If they match install the new board in the reverse order of removal. After reassembly and putting the washer back in place, plug it in and follow the programming instructions. My replacement of the control board went very well except the first new control board didn’t work. There was one complete zone that didn’t function. I called Parts Select and they sent me another control board which worked and the refunded the cost of the defective board but I was out some shipping expense.

Bolt broke in half
Removed the center agitator to clean it - had black mold and pink soap scum buildup underneath that you couldn't see or clean without taking it apart. Removed the bolt with ease. Upon tightening the bolt back in place, the bolt sheared in half, leaving the lower half threaded in place and the head in the socket. Had to use a drill bit and drill out the lower half of the bolt completely. Ordered the replacement bolt and reassembled everything in less than 5 minutes. Replacement part was perfect - hopefully it lasts longer than the original bolt.

Machine was noisy and banging during spin cycle
Watched the part select instructional video on YouTube. Repair was very easy. Appliance repair man quoted me $335 for this repair. I did it myself for a fraction of the cost.

Will not drain
The drain pump had three screws. Frist unplug the machine and turn the water off. And unplug the hose for the Hot and Clod Water. Make sure their no water in the tub. Unplug the pipe from the Tub. The unscrew the nut for the connector. Then unplug the connector and be careful not to damage plug for the connector. Press the plug connector with your finger or long nose pliers . Then just hook the new plumb and you all set.

Water inlet would not stop running after filling
Two screws to take off rear panel. Slid control panel board back to unlock and laid forward. Exposed two more screws holding in water inlet. Removed and slid old water inlet out, new water inlet in. Attached two screws, control panel and rear panel and works perfectly. So much easier than I imagined!

Washer would not drain after a load of wash
Being a woman I had to figure out tipping it in its front. I put it on a dollie and drop it down real easy.
Removed all water lines after water was shut off.
Removed bolts. Removed bolts on plate to the right to unplug old pump.
Plugged in new one and replaced all bolts, hoses and tipped her back up. Works like a charm and I saved $408 by doing it myself!!!!!
