Washer wasn't agitating
We couldn't get a repair to come out - were told to buy a new because it would cost too much to fix. I did not agree. I pulled the agitator off and discovered it was not working and the agitator coupler was spinning. I ordered both and put them in myself. My washer now worked like new! All for less than $100. The service guy wouldn't eve come out for less than $175 and that did not include parts!

Washer timer would not advance.
I watched the video on the knob and clip, ordered the new knob only to find out I needed a new timer as well. The little gears were striped off at a closer look. So I ordered a new timer. They were sent out right away, that was nice. We both parts now, the install took about ten minutes.

washer didn't agitate
I removed the agitator, replaced the agitator coupling. The guy at the appliance store where I was able to find the part said to check the splines on the inside of the agitator as well. Glad I did, the splines on the agitator were worn out too. So by checking both, if and when the problem occurs, REPLACE BOTH parts! This will save a lot of grief for you!

Repaced knob and repaired water pumb
Replaced the knob by removing the old one an installing the new one with plastic clip. Very easy repair. The water pumb was not working. After determining that it was getting electricity, I removed it and took it apart to determine whether or not it was clogged. To my amazement,I found a "quarter" stuck at the bottom. With a little effort, I removed the piece and put the pump back together, reinstalled it to the hoses and the repair was complete. The Part Select site is fantastic. The schmatic drawings and diagosntic information make even very complex repairs possible! Thank you. I am a very happy customer!

The timer knob no longer engaged and moved the stem
I used needle-nose pliers to pry out the little c-clamp that held on the timer knob, then easily pulled off the knob. I used the vacuum cleaner to clear the broken plastic teeth from area surrounding the stem. Then I simply pushed on the new knob. Whole job took about 5 minutes.
