Riper gasket main, needed replaced.
After trying multiple times, multiple ways to stretch the gasket over the washer drum with no luck, I was able to get it installed but it took 2 more people. 4 hands to hold the gasket while the other person fits it around the drum. I noticed in the install videos they start the process then cut away, and magically the gasket is installed.

Front load clothes washer drum shaft seal and bearing failed causing extreme bearing noise
Looked up on YouTube repair procedures and found enough to point me in the right direction. I am experienced in auto and appliance repairs and felt this would be easy even without YT but it helped me prepare tool list as I live 2K miles away from the family. Though YT was not exact machine, it was close enough to get me started as it wasn't rocket science. Once the machine was disassembled and bearings/gasket removed, I found a local bearing supplier which matched parts and started re-assembly. Total machine work time was approximately 7 hours and it runs like new!
A couple of tricks found on YT was putting bearings in freezer prior to assembly for potentially "shrinking" to ease installation, red lock-tite, and using a "good" liquid wrench lubricant for removing the inner rusted bearing.
It's not rocket science and I saved repair technician cost or purchasing a new $1100 washer. My costs were $113, and joy of a successful fix! What did we have to lose!!

Power spike caused the control not activate motor on drum.
I downloaded a service manual for $9.95 online that lead me step by step to the board.I order the board from another supplier but it was back ordered for 4 to 6 weeks. Was lucky to find Partselect. They had the part in stock with fast shipping.

Needed to change old hoses-7 years old.
Had to shut off the water valves and move the washer.
Needed the wrench because the old hoses were tight. Only tightened the new hoses a little with the wrench.
