Spin cycle became very loud
The instructions included were very good. The biggest problem I ran into was removing the inner tub from off the hub. Using PB Blaster was the trick there, but still took some effort to finally pry it lose without damage. The hub screwed right off after and removing the Triple Lip Seal was easy enough with screw drivers. Cleaned things up and replaced it by gently tapping around it to seat it evenly. Reassembly also went well, but I DO HAVE a story. Being as careful as I thought I could be, I still somehow broke the outer tub. I read about others experience, buying and using JB Weld WaterWeld to fix it. Now the washer is so quiet again that you have to look into the drain tub to see if it is spinning. AWESOME

Timer Control does not work
The first thing you have to do is remove the cover plate. And thing take a pair of long noise pliers to unscrew the nut that was holding the unit. And then carefully pop off the top off cover cap on the control knob. And then use a screw driver to push in the clip on each side that hold the knob in place it just plastic. And then carefully pull it off. And then go back to the back and push then push the unit to the right and then remove it out and that all to it.

drain hose had a hole near wall drain.
The new hose was exactly like the one I removed. It was simply a matter of putting the new hose through the back, replacing the hose clamp, take the piece off the old hose that makes the bend in the hose to go in the wall drain. Replace the lower front panel with two screws and I was done.
