installing new door latch
first of all, I am not at all handy, so that fact that I could do this at all is pretty amazing. I watched the video and it was very good. At first all went smoothly...I got the top off, the control panel off and the detergent drawer out. Then I ran into problems, three of the six screws holding on the front panel wouldn't come out. I sprayed Liquid Wrench on, waited for a while, still wouldn't come off, then I tapped them with a hammer, still wouldn't unscrew. But I was able to access the door latch from the top rather than the side...a little tight and awkward, some swearing was required, but it worked. Machine now working like a charm, yay!
