Plastic hinge broken on RHS.
Description provided on website was that repair was similar to another washing machine where you press in on spring clips to release top of machine to access hinge. Not correct at all.
There are two screws on top of machine that are covered by caps. Remove caps and then remove screws. Lift up / prop up machine top and you have easier access to 2 screws that hold plastic hinge in place. Remove screws and replace hinge and replace screws. Took me longer to figure out I had incorrect directions than it did to replace hinge.

RIGHT HINGE BROKE
Removed 2 hidden screws from the top panel.
Lifted top panel.
The first screw came out easy, the second one gave me trouble.
It is best to help a helper who can hold the lid open as much as possible.
To insert the new screws takes patience as they might fall very easily.
Overall, not that difficult - just need patience.

Drain hose had a pin hole leak external to washer
Very close to the installation video online at Parts Select. Removed the back panel, unclipped the hose from the inner fitting and replaced with the rear hose. Why it didn;t leak on the inside is interesting as there was no clip on the at the inner fitting.
The one difference from the existing install video online was that I didn't have to tip the washer over ~75 degs before replacing. I instead found that I could put to cinder blocks under the back edge to replace the drain hose. This made the job quicker without having to worry about having a box for it to rest on (with any risk of falling to the floor).

Lid hinge pin receptor (MEF62462103) broken
Remove cover over associated hinge pin assembly and the hinge assembly behind it. With the lid open, remove 4 screws holding on the top assembly, lift and rotate it on its wire cable side and rest it on the machine top frame (it may be necessary to remove the 2 cable restrainers to gain enough play to do this - you will have to remove the large rear cover to accomplish this and be able to reinstall these restrainers). Remove 2 screws fastening the broken hinge pin receptor, install new unit, and fasten with these 2 screws. Install top assembly and a new/repaired hinge pin assembly (most likely the reason for the broken hinge pin receptor).. Replace cable restrainers and rear cover if it was necessary to remove them. Note: These hinge pin assemblies are sold as a set (1 left, 1 right; they are not interchangeable and are expensive). Time to do repair = about 30 minutes.
