8. Very easy...

Dipped water out as much as possible,tited washer at a 45 degree angle and propped it up. Took the 3 bolts out holding the pump assembly and the 3 bolts holding the belt guard.Unplug wire connecter,pull out assembly and than pull drain hose off of assembly. Reinstall the same as you take apart. Was a easy fix, and worked as it should.

First thing is to download and print the programming instructions for the new control board. The instructions for downloading come with the control board. The control board fits multiple models and has to be programmed for your particular model. Unplug the washer and pull it out enough to work from the back. Remove the main control knob by pulling it off. At the top back use the nut driver and remove the 4 screws holding the metal cover. There’s a ground wire attached to the inside of the panel that doesn’t have to be removed. Let the metal cover dangle. Remove the two screws that hold the top control panel. They are located at the ends of the control panel. Slide the main control panel towards the back of the washer above 1/2” and lift it up and roll towards the front of the washer which puts the main control board in a position that allows removal. Unplug all of the connectors. Remove the 3 or 4 screws holding the plastic board stiffener, unsnap the two posts holding it to the control board and remove it. Remove the main control board. Compare the old and new board. If they match install the new board in the reverse order of removal. After reassembly and putting the washer back in place, plug it in and follow the programming instructions. My replacement of the control board went very well except the first new control board didn’t work. There was one complete zone that didn’t function. I called Parts Select and they sent me another control board which worked and the refunded the cost of the defective board but I was out some shipping expense.

There's two nuts on the back of the washer holding the metal backplate. I used my 11-1 Klein screwdriver. Once you get the screws out lift the backplate slightly and pull the whole top assembly out of it's spot and lean it forward onto top of the washer.

Take pictures of where the wires go so you can remember for later.

Disconnect the two wires and remove the two screws holding the metal plate. Same size nuts driver as the other screws.

Remove the sensor by just wiggling it out.
Slide the intake assemby out of it's spot.
Slide the new one in.
Then just do everything you did in reverse.

Takes 10 minutes. Super easy.

Removed the center agitator to clean it - had black mold and pink soap scum buildup underneath that you couldn't see or clean without taking it apart. Removed the bolt with ease. Upon tightening the bolt back in place, the bolt sheared in half, leaving the lower half threaded in place and the head in the socket. Had to use a drill bit and drill out the lower half of the bolt completely. Ordered the replacement bolt and reassembled everything in less than 5 minutes. Replacement part was perfect - hopefully it lasts longer than the original bolt.

IF you do the same repair, SAVE THE LITTLE O-RING that is inside the old part where the temperature probe stick in (If that is indeed what it is). It's chrome in color. New part does NOT come with that O-ring

Unplugged washer and hoses. Removed 4 screws in back control panel and 4 screws holding control panel down. Drained capacitor and checked that. It was good. Pryed washer top off with screw driver. Used vice grips to remove old and install new spring rods, replacing them one at a time. While lid was off I cut a small diameter pool noodle in half and cut 4 half noodles the size of each side. I unclipped one side of the tub cap and ran an 11" zip tie through the hole in the middle of one side and back up and out where the tub skirt and cap meet, then tied the half noodle to the edge of the tub cap and snapped down cap. Then repeated with the other three sides. I did this so heavier clothes, if they got out of balance, would continue to spin. The noodles keeping the tub from moving too far out of balance. The rod springs helped with lighter loads but still shut down spinning with heavy clothes. The machine always handled heavy clothes for 7 years until the last month or so. If it breaks with the noodles, I'll get another new machine.

Extremely easy. You will need a helper to make it easy. The best directions are on you tube.

Not knowing for sure how to fit it I went to youtube for help watched a few videos and tested different things until I hit the right one .Moms washer is fixed.replaced lid lock,motherboard and pump I'm sure I don't need all those parts because when I found the code for the lid lock it started working

You have to take the top off of the washer and the four suspension rods are at each corner. Fairly simple removal and installation of the rods. A quick you tube search is all it took. Easy peasy.

The drain pump had three screws. Frist unplug the machine and turn the water off. And unplug the hose for the Hot and Clod Water. Make sure their no water in the tub. Unplug the pipe from the Tub. The unscrew the nut for the connector. Then unplug the connector and be careful not to damage plug for the connector. Press the plug connector with your finger or long nose pliers . Then just hook the new plumb and you all set.

Used a Phillips screw driver to lock the top and bottom of auger. Took a while to separate from base. Used another driver to remove old base and put the new one on with nut driver. Placed auger on base and turned to lock. Job done and works great.
Thanks

Took the belt cover and then replaced the pump. Did a dry run and everything was fine.

Easy fix. Take out the two screws on the backside of the control panel and remove control panel out of the way. You will need a long shaft nut driver or 1/4 inch socket extension to be able to get to the nuts, one on each side of the back of the control panel. The water inlet valve is right there in your face. Easy to remove and replace. Remember to save the small O-ring in the center of the top of the valve and reuse it. Oh, by-the-way, shut the water off first and unplug the washer. Replacement part was a perfect match.
