water filling in machine without turning on
I looked up the repair on You Tube and it looked easy! Take off the top of the machine (unplug and disconnect water first), 2 wire connections and 2 screws to mount. The only problem I had was screwing the mounting plate on the machine. It needed some help enlarging the hole a tad, I used an awl. Reconnect the water and plug in.This Granny rocks!

Totally bad shocks repair
The video was most helpful, and the left shock replacement went as shown. The sucker punch was getting to the right shock - much harder.
First notice video has washer on a stand. How nice to have had it up on a table. LOL As it was I tilted the machine back with a 6 inch block under the front. Still a bear to get to the shock, but w/ patience, doable even though you are flat out on the floor.
The old shocks were so bad that the pistons fell out once it was removed.
It takes some strength to get the pins through the new shocks, and as I have a weak left hand I had to resort to using a C-clamp to help. If I could have gotten my right hand in there I may not have needed it. Right hand did have to hold the clamp as it had to just catch the side of the pin hole since the pin is pointed and sticks out past the mounting bracket when seated.
I also ordered a spring but they both were still good.

bad shocks
The instructions that come with parts say to pull pins out with pliers. not much room to do that. I used hammers and punches where I had access and prybars nail puller an hammer to offset where the water outlet was in the way. I used a short handle hammer to install three of the pins. The third I used a prybar and spacer blocks.

Broken door catch
It was so easy to replace. I called a local appliance store and they wanted approx $105.00 to rush the part or $95 to have it shipped from the east coast...I went on your website and with delivery the cost was $16.07. I was thrilled...the existing screws were in very tight so all I needed was an electric screw driver.

The door to my front-loading washing machine would not lock because the door catch was broken.
I simply removed the two screws holding the existing (broken) catch and replaced the old with the new in less than 5 minutes. It could not have been easier.
I would alsolike to note that I was VERY pleased with how simple it was to find the correct part and with how quickly the part arrived at my door. I will definitely refer PartSelect to anyone who may need a new appliance part.

Door catch broke
First removed the existing screws by using a drill with screwdriver bit (thanks to Cathy from Mountainview CA for that suggestion) because was unable to remove them otherwise. New piece does not come with screws, so save your screws. The new piece had a burr that kept it from fitting in, but was easily filed off. Then no problems. Ordered on Sunday, arrived on Thursday with regular shipping. Excellent!

Washer door would not stay closed. plastic latch was broke
I removed the 2 screws that held the broken latch together. The screws were a little hard to remove. Once I removed the screws, replacing the new latch was a piece of cake.

Door catch broken
Pretty straightforward: easily swapped out the broken latch with the new one and saved a bundle on a service call.
