No hot water entering machine.
Did some checking to make sure the filter, screen and hose were unobstructed. Turned off water at faucets, disconnected hoses and drainage hose. Unplugged machine and pulled out far enough to access back. Used nutdriver to remove 6-7 screws that held the back on, and then inlet valve plate. Removed clamp on outlet hose, then one by one removed wires, making sure to connect them to the same connections on new valve. Re-connected outlet hose and reversed procedure. Easy fix. Went ahead and replaced hoses while I had it out.

Hot water would not pour out at normal rate.
This was a very easy repair. First I unpluged the 120VAC power cord. Then I turned the water off. Next I opened the hose connections. Then I removed 3 screws from the back which exposed the Inlet Valve. I removed the old valve taking note of where the wires went. Then I installed the new one. It took less than 10 minutes!

No water going into the washer at rinse cycle
Took off the backing and then the water inlet piece and just reverse the procedure when installing the new part. What really amazed me was the ease of ordering the part through this website. I found it, ordered it and in two days it was here!! Great website, you folks really know what your doing. My repair was under 25 dollars, how much would have I paid for a service tech to come out, don't even want to think about it !! I'm telling everyone I know about your website. THANKS AGAIN !!!!!

During non use (overnight) tub filled up with water and overan onto the floor
Turn off cold & hot water inlets. Detached water and drain hoses from Washer. Unplugged electricity.Removed back panel using nut driver/wrench would also work. Detached plate holding old valve and then old valve from plate. Held old valve in one hand, detached each electrical connection from old valve and attched to same location on new valve. Reinstalled and reconnected everything. Work like a charm. $20 bucks instead of a new washer. Point of fact: the valve contains the selinoids that regulate water flow. I did not know this and was trying to find "Selinoid" instead of inlet valve.

needed new cord to outlet
Unscrew the back cover to washer, Find 3 hole plug, plug in the cord, take the ground wire and screw it to the screw next to the cord that is screwed into the metal frame, put the back panel on and that's it! easy peasy! Remember to hook up your water hoses and turn on the water to check for leaks BEFORE plugging it in! Very Easy!

Selector knob would not engage to select wash cycle. Teeth on knob were worn/broken.
Removed existing knob by using pliers to release clip from shaft. Inserted new knob (with clip attached) onto shaft and aligned with shaft groove to engage clip. Easy breezy.
