Threads on an inlet valve deteriorated; couldn't tighten the hot hose.
Unplug the cord and shut off hot and cold water faucets.
headache avoidance: The male threads of the inlet valve are plastic. Gently turn the female hose ends onto them at the kitchen table with the eventual position in mind then tighten.
1. Remove 4 screws holding shiny metal backplate w/ 1/4" socket (easy)
2. Pry tabs loose, top of plate (easy).
3. Pull electric leads from 2 solenoids (easy).
4. Remove 2 long screws holding upper painted structure (easy).
5. Remove 2 screws holding valve in place (easy).
6. Tilt and slide the valve loose and pull it out (easy).
7. Replace valve and reverse steps 6-1.
n.b. no inside water tubes; water drips straight into tub
Also, an hour should be enough. I spent more time than needed guessing, dealing with a few issues, opening the machine again, starting over, etc.
ps. I guessed at the age.

Washer not spinning out completely.
1) Unplug washer
2) Remove water supply hoses
3) Remove drain hose
4) Tilt washer forward
5) Remove 4 bolts covering the motor assembly to access belt.
6) Remove old belt by turning it off the pullies.
7) The new belt needed to be stretched by attaching one end of the belt to one of the pullies using a zip tie. I did this by drilling a small hole in the larger pulley, large enough to allow the zip tie to pass through.
8) After tightening the zip tie to the belt, slowly turn the larger pulley to stretch the belt on to the smaller pulley.
9) Make sure belt is properly seated on both pullies.
10) Reinstall the cover.
11) Reattach drain hose and supply hoses.
12) Plug washer back in.

The machine stopped working completely! My wife went on YouTube,and learned that it could be the motherboard or the door latch. We changed both, and the washer would only fill but did not drain, and spin! We called a serviceman, and he had to program the service board,but said that the new door mech
We changed the circuit board once, and the door latch mechanism twice because we ordered a faulty part. Then we had to hire a service man to program the circuit board, and to inform us that the door latch mechanism was faulty.
