Washer did not spin. Broken bolt inside agitator. Needed to replace agitator.
Part ordered was incorrect even though your website said that it was correct when I ordered it. Part sent back. Have since bought a new washer. Your contact person to return part was very helpful.

Washer drum banging on spin cycle
Very simple repair with the kit. Old rods came out easily using vise grips locked on to rods about 10-12 inches down and pulling up. Had doubts if they were bad since everything looked good but drum bounced back several times when I shoved it down to test it earlier. New rods went in just as easy and replaced in less than 30 min. Hardest part was that I had very cramped laundry room so had to move and disconnect hoses etc. to move into larger space for repair and then move back to reconnect. Parts came quickly within about 3 days and now purrs like a kitten!

Washer was overfilling
Unplugged the electric. Shut water off removed the hot and cold water lines. Take the 1/4 inch nut driver and loosen and removed the 1/4 inch head screws from the back panel to get to the water level switch. Pull the knob off of the front. Go to the back and remove the clamp off of plastic tube and remove from water level switch with the channel locks. To remove the old switch from back of panel twist old switch to the left you will hear and feel a click to loosen the switch. Remove the electric plug and remove old part. Install the electric plug into new water level switch and the plastic tube back on with clamp on new switch. Put the new switch back on the panel by twisting to the right until you hear and feel a click. Put the knob back on front and replace the back cover with the 1/4 inch screws and nut driver. Replace hot and cold water lines turn on water and check for leaks. Plug electric cord in. Ready to use washer

machine wobbled violently
followed video instruction that came with part. Previously watched youtube video (there are several, the low production videos are well worth viewing over the professional types). It was a breeze, other than the videos saying one person could do all four. When you get to the last rod, it is more difficult to lift the tub to insert the final rod in the round holder. I asked my wife for assistance.

Making groaning noise in spin
Having been out of the business for quite a few years I thought that I was dealing with a direct drive machine. Thinking that it was the motor coupler. I removed the control panel and attempted to pull the cabinet froward. Not so, it had a solid cabinet, so I tilted the machine against the wall and looked under the washer finding the driven Transmission pulley loose on the shaft. The splines on the pulley were pretty well worn but I tightened the nut and it worked okay. But I ordered a pulley and replaced after it's arrival. The motor capacitor also broke it's mount off so I had to rehang it with zip ties and repaired the wires to the Capacitor, (Which BTW had about 22 gauge wire). I found it hard to believe that they would use such small wire.

Agitator coming off when clothes are pulled out
The retainer was broken and likely because the washer was worn down and allowed the whole thing to move more and more over time. Got the exact parts I needed and the repair could not have been easier.

Washer will not agitate.
After changing the cogs, inner-auger clutch assembly, retaining bolt and drive belt, the washer will still not agitate. Any suggestions??

spin cycle did not activate
Replaced hinge switch. Still no spin cycle. Noticed hinge bearing cracked & if hinge forced into switch, spin activated. Ordered new hinge bearings.Spin cycle still didn't engage. On further examination, observed that hinge was bent. Straightened hinge & worked like a charm. Didn't really need new switch or bearings. NOTE : Avoid having washer door bang shut.Took longer than expected, but each procedure was simple.

The seal in the upper agitator cap broke
I just unscrewed the top agitator cap and slid the o-ring on and put it back. Done in seconds.
