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!

The Kenmore front-load washing machine was neither tumbling nor spinning
I found a person on youtube that had a similar issue with a Fridgidaire washer. Since my Kenmore was quite similar, I was able to see how the installation would take place. I bought the new motor from Parts Select, and when it arrived, the steps needed to repair the washer was:
1) Unplug the washer
2) Turn off water supply at the wall for hot and cold water
3) Pushed washer away from the wall.
4) Remove the water supply hoses by unscrewing them on the washer end. These were on tight, so I needed to use pliers to unscrew the hoses.
5) I removed the multiple screws on the back panel of the washer. I think there were 12 or 16 screws.
6) Once all the screws on the main panel in back were removed, I removed the back panel and set it aside.
7) I located the motor near the bottom of the tub and removed the two slide-in type electrical connectors. There was also a grounding wire, and I left it attached at this point.
8) Using a socket set, I removed the four screws that mounted the motor to the tub.
9) Once the four screws were removed, I was able to push the old motor back about an inch so the motor was no longer on the sleeves that held it in place, and I pulled the motor toward me. The grounding wire was still connected at this point.
10) Once I was able to get the motor to the back of the washing machine, so I could see it, I could then use a star-screwdriver to remove the grounding wire.
11) Then I went through the same steps backward to install the new motor, which matched the old motor exactly. The time from when I started to when I was completed was about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Water leaked out the door of our front loading washing machine.
The plastic door catch had broken. I quickly found the correct part at PartSelect.com and ordered it. It shipped the same day and arrived the next day. It took two minutes to unscrew the old catch and screw on the new catch. Problem solved for about $15, including shipping and handling.
