Top of auger was broken
Instructions were fairly good, line up holes and push a phillips head screwdriver thru auger then twist it off. Problem is you can only use a short screwdriver due to space limitations, and it is or at least for me was impossible to twist the auger off as directed, but after I lost my temper and gave the screwdriver a good thump (auger was already broke, what's the harm) with my left hand the auger came right off, putting the new one on is very simple.

Washer would not start
The parts I ordered were made of junk plastic and did not match up with the the existing parts. The parts did not end up fixing the problem and I bought a new washer instead.
Waste of money

Washer would not drain after a load of wash
Being a woman I had to figure out tipping it in its front. I put it on a dollie and drop it down real easy.
Removed all water lines after water was shut off.
Removed bolts. Removed bolts on plate to the right to unplug old pump.
Plugged in new one and replaced all bolts, hoses and tipped her back up. Works like a charm and I saved $408 by doing it myself!!!!!

The washer did not drain. It also did not click or sound like the drain cycle was being engaged.
Emptied the washer, took the back cover off, tipped it foward, unplugge the old pump, remove two mount bolts. The replaced the new pump. The new pump resolved the issue.

Lid wouldn’t lock keeping machine from working
Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.

The washer would fill with water then stop.
Open up the top of the washer per instructions. Remove the old switch and wiring harness. Install the new wiring harness and switch. The instructions that were provided are very descriptive so the installation went flawlessly. The switch has been redesigned and looks to be more robust than the original. The washer now works like new.

Water would drip onto the tub when not running
Take cover off use socket driver to remove two hex head machine screws. There was a foam piece attached to the old part that i pealed off and attached to the new part. It’s there to prevent rattles. There is a tube that pulls out of the old part and a grommet inside that must be removed and placed in the new part. Connect the two electrical plugs and install the new part just like the old part came out.

Selector switches were non responsive in operation and diagnostics.
I downloaded the repair manual on line and followed the instructions for running the diagnostics. This showed that the selector switches were faulty. I then replaced the selector switches following the instructions in the repair manual. Couldn't have been easier.

leaking water inlet valve on washer
I watched a youtube video to see how others performed the repair. My washer was a little different than in the videos but the inlet valve was very easy to access once I pulled the washer out of it's "nook". I took off the back panel of the control "box" (4 screws). Then accessed the valve which was held in place with two screws. The screws were buried behind a few wires so they were a little difficult to access but not impossible. I did need to use my 1/4" box end wrench as my son had borrowed my socket set.
The people at PartsSelect were helpful in selecting the right part and the repair is working fine. My wife is happy.

The machine would not start all the time.
Watched You Tube and had at it. In the end it was fairly simple.
