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.

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!!!!!
