Leak in top washer hose
Super straightforward to diagnose and repair.
There was puddle under the washer.
I removed the top (screws in rear, slide top toward rear slightly and lift) and followed the trail of water up to the top washer hose between the drum and detergent tray.
Two hose clamps to remove and replace, then replace the top and ready to go.

Magnetic door plunger broke off, then got stuck inside the door and couldn't be removed for replacement.
I used another magnet to pull the old plunger out of the door and replaced it with the new part.

Leaking hose
2 hose clamps and a hose, easy! This would be a very common cause of leaks in washers due to all the movement inside.

The drain hose was leaking
First I had to elevate the washer on 3-5 gal. buckets in order to get underneath it and find the leak. Then I tried to repair the hose itself-which actually worked-but then the rest of the hose just started splitting everywhere I touched it. So I ordered the new part which took some careful comparing and examination online. But it was exactly the right part. You have to remove the top of the washer which is just 2 or 3 screws. Then taking the hose out was a little challenge-knowing I would have to put the new one back in carefully. Use Vaseline on rubber fitting at the end of the hose that connects to the washer. Need at least 2 people to raise the washer up in air to work on it.

Rubber door gasket had traces of mold due to door not being left open after use. Washer smelled bad also
Got new door gasket, watched several Youtube videos of repair process. Followed several combinations of the process, which were accurate and it went ok. Met with the described difficulty re-installing the boot due to the spring installation. The use of vise grips for the second spring was the best piece of advice, as the spring tool did not work for that specific process. Door did not want line up exactly the way it came off, causing some concern about the door lock, and possible leaking. After install, it seems to work ok on those accounts. Have only run large bulky items since, which cause many "OE" issues. have not tried a normal load yet, but I think it will be ok.

Dishwasher would not fill
Used Youtube to look for a set of repair instructions. From start to end 35 min.
The difficult part was getting the door back on. Only 1 Youtube video I watched stated Do not remove the 2 center screws at the top. Wish I had seen that video first.
Overall very easy to do.
