Bellow had mold and mildew
Found it impossible to get the bellow off the machine. Removed the front spring. Even tried to but off the bellow. No luck. Called repairman. He had to take off the front panel, door panel, and the top of the machine before he could remove the back spring/clamps.

F-70 heartbeat failure
The repair went very easy after locating the repair manual inside of the washer. The service manual gave all of the codes that the machine can give. Checked the F-70 code and it stated to unplug the motor control unit. Once that was unplugged the led lights came back on and it acted like it could run again. New unit put in in less than 15 minutes. I'd suggest to have it over nights because the unit I received through UPS was very badly damaged on the outside but plugged it in and it still worked. Two weeks running and a lot of laundry later; still going well.

The washing machine wouldn't drain
I followed the instructions and it was surprisingly simple. Glad I didn't call the "handy-man" since it was easy to do it myself as a handy-woman!

Bellows were moldy and underneath had mold
We hired a local repairman and he even had trouble . I would not suggest anyone trying this installation on their own. It took the repair guy an hour to do and he struggled. Not an eary installation

Loose and old belt
First unplug the washer and take the back cover off. Loosen the screw on the motor and the big nut on the belt wheel. Take the old belt off and put the new belt on around the motor but slip the motor back in place with the screw slightly in place but do not tighten it yet. Place the belt around the motor and the wheel but this is hard because you need some one with some strength so the is where my dear boyfriend came in handy. He used his strength to stretch the belt and put it back on the machine so I could put the big nut back on. But if you break a wire you have to know a little electrical to put back the wires back in place with small connectors. I do know electrical also. My machine is working better like new. Carol Rozier

hole in bellow
Took the outer ring off with the help of pliers just be careful. Push the bellow into the washer. We cleaned the area good at this time. Put the new bellow in being sure to keep the wrinkles out and securing it in place with the other clamp. Make sure to keep it lined up and wrinkle free to prevent leaks and possible tears later on. You will need the screwdriver to tighten the screws in the inner clamp.

Washer drum baffle broke off during use.
The new piece just took seconds to install. You had to set the piece slightly farther back then where it belongs, and with a slight downward pressure, just slide the part toward yourself until you hear it click into place. About 5 seconds and no tools required.

Washer leak and tear on clothes
It was easy as soon as I previewed a video on how to repair bellow it was all about unscrewing some screws and removing some parts but was simple steps that anyone can do themselves only thing that gave me very little trouble was putting the spring coil around the bellow needed my husband to help me a little so it wouldn't come out place while stretching the spring to make sure everything was good and secure and ran a test washer to make sure it didn't leak afterward.the baffle was very easy to replace with very little pressure I was able to slide it till I heard a click sound and it was secure did laundry same day and every was wonders very happy I was able to save some money on labor :)
