Two out of Four Straps were Torn
First I found out on the web how to open the washer's front cover.
For the strap in the front, it's relatively easy to replace a strep if your hands are somewhat flexible.
For the one in the back, I also needed to open the top dial panel, in order to lift the main lid connected to it, in order to then be able to reach one of the screws of the back strap. the other one of its screws I was able to reach from the front with a ratchet and extension from the front. Arms do get heavy from time to time, but overall it was manageable.

Washer took an electrical surge and burned out the control board.
I removed the top cover , then unplugged all the wire connectors. I then replaced the control board and reassembled the wiring and cover.

Washer flooded my laundry room!
Pried the front cover off the washer and then rotated the tub around for easier access to the hose clamp. Used screwdriver on hose clamp then detached spring clamp from pump inlet. Reversed the procedure for repair!

Leaking hose (had a rip in it)
First I had to remove the front cover to the washer.
Then it was just a matter of using the nut driver to loosen the clamp holding the hose to the tub portion, and a channel lock for the clip on the drain pump. Pull the old hose out, do the same thing vise versa for the install... Only hard part was the clamp on the drain pump was being a little difficult (but no big deal).

Small leak from a tiny hole in the drain hose
Simply unclamped the lower end of the hose, then used the nut driver to release the upper clamp of the hose. Took it off, replaced it with the new hose and re-clamped both ends. It took me about 12 minutes to do this. Very easy repair!!

Machine would lose power and shut itself off.
Unplugged machine. Used tape markers to identify knobs then removed control knobs with vigorous straight pull. Unscrewed three screws on rear of control panel face and tilted control panel over with a small sideways slide, to expose circuit board. Laid new circuit board alongside old and transferred jumper block and wiring terminals from old board to same positions on new. Unscrewed old board and removed. Put in new board and tightened screws. Replaced back panel and knobs. Plugged in machine and tested. Done!
