Close quaters to work on
I had to pull the washer out from the wall. SInce it is in front of the door going out into the garage made it dificult getting tools. I had to lay on my side doubled up in order toget to the hose. I used a bit extention so that I could get the clamp loose. Cut the time in half by using a drill with a phillips head screw bit. The only real hard part was getting the new one up tight on the drain. Used a heavy duty screw driver to push it up so the clamp would bite.

OE error. All i read indicated the need for new sensor, but it did not correct the problem.
My husband simply removed the old sensor and put the new one in. It was not difficult.

Washer making noise a snow smoking.
Take pics every step, easier re-assembly. Dismantled washer keeping bolt/screw section removed compartmentalized in a tackle box in the order of removal. Replaced drum support, bearings, seal, old blots. Too much to write but I was able to do it all in about 4 hours once all the parts finally came in.

Door Lock Latch Broken Inside
Very easy repair, once I read the reviews and watched a couple of you tube videos. I just released the band holding the gasket in place, pulled it back, unscrewed the latch and installed a new one. Less than a 10 min job. I am glad I found this web site, thanks guys!!

Door lever was broken
Used online video which was really good. After changing the lever, I realized I needed to order a new latch because it was broken also.

Washer flashed error code DL (door lock) and wouldn't start.
We followed another very helpful repair story. Unplug machine. Unscrew top back screws, remove top of washer. Reach inside from the top in the front of the machine. Remove screws holding latch in place, unplug the three plugs attached to latch. Replace with new door latch, screw it in place, replug the three plugs, put top of machine back on, replace screws on back and your'e done! Works great! Job made easy thanks to others helpfulness!

The latch was broken so that the front door wouldn't close.
I followed the guy on the video. The only parts that were tough was having the right tools and having enough space to put the new part in. The part was only 70 dollars and I was so proud that I could do it. I am not very handy so if I can do it then anyone can. Plus I saved some money!

Problem with the door latch
It is very easy. Unplug from the wall. Take out the two screws from the back that holds on the top panel. Unscrew the three screws inside the door by the latch. Reach inside the washer from the top and unplug the three plugs on the latch part. Then plug in the new part , put the three screws back in. Then put the top panel on. Plug in and magic. It works!

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!
