No hot water going into the washer when hot washes selected
After doing research, I ordered a new hot water inlet valve. After that arrived, I:
1. Turned off the water going into the washer and unplugged it.
2. Pulled the washer away from the wall and unscrewed the cold and hot water intakes to check the filters and make sure they were both clear.
3. Unscrewed the two screws (they were hex heads, so they needed a socket wrench) in the back of the washer (right and left sides) that were holding the top on. Once removed, I removed the top cover to the washer by pushing it back slightly, then popping it off.
4. Used the pliers to loosen the metal clamp attaching a rubber hose to the old hot water inlet valve - disconnected that hose by scooting the clamp back away from the valve and pulling the hose off.
5. Removed the old inlet valve (takes some finagling) and placed the new valve in an identical position.
6. Reattached the hose and clamp to the new inlet valve.
7. Reattached the hot and cold water lines to the washer.
8. Replaced the washer cover and two screws.
9. Turned the water back on and pushed the washer back into place and plugged it back in.
10. Tested a hot water cycle. Fixed!

washer not draining
we watched a thorough you tube video which described each step and showed it being done, he made it look pretty easy but unforeseen elements such as rust etc took time but not obscenely so, just keep screws from each step separate and it's difficult just takes patience and a little time to get to the actual part, in fact that is the easy part taking it out and replacing it.

Water pump cracked
Look up how to repair on you tube. Removed control panel door and front panel as shown to expose water pump. Removed both hose. Showed how to release water pump from under machine ( I use vibrating cutter to cut rubber feet that held in place) this was much easier than way shown in video. Caution when putting hose clamp Bach on make sure it is all the way on. If not you will have water leak drain hose come off. But panels on . Be careful not to damage door lock 124 dollars if you do. Over all very easy to replace

Replacement of drain pump and shock absobers (Dampers), and drive belt.
The repair was simple.
