Water slowly filling the wash drum and spilling out front of machine
Water was slowly filling the wash tub and spilling out front of machine. Cause was the water inlet valve solenoid was not fully closing.
Turn off water to the machine
Unplug machine
Pull machine away from the wall
Remove the water inlet hoses.
At the back-top of the machine remove the three screws holding the top on.
Lift up top from the rear and remove it.
Disconnect the hose connected to the water inlet valve.
On the outside of the back panel remove the screw holding the water inlet valve.
Remove the water inlet valve.
Reverse the process to install the new valve
NOTE: in my case the hold in the back panel did not line up with the hole in the new water inlet valve. I drilled another hole.

Replace tub to pimp hose.
Factory hose clamps were awkward to maneuver. I used automotive radiator hose clamps instead. They worked great.

Water filling up in drum when not in use
Took top off with nut driver, disconnected 2 wires , removed one screw holding inlet value. Then I reversed the procedure putting new one on. Maybe 20 min. Of course unplug power and turn off water supplies before starting the job.

The washer machine didn’t start the cycle. Had a weird sound. Then f 30 was ther error code. With research internet it was easy to know about the motor dispenser problem
I did follow step by step your YouTube video. I’m a woman. There was nothing heavy in the process. You have to be careful that’s it. Thank you for the instructions. I fixed it with the YouTube tutorial you provided. Really nice from you people.

Tear in door seal
First I removed the retainer ring that holds the outside bellows on the frame of the front washer.
I then pushed the bellows inside of the drum of the washing machine in-order to get to the clamp that holds the bellows on the inside of the drum. To pull the clump I had to use a stubby screwdriver and socket drive to loosen the clamp. Once the clamp is loosen I was able to pull the bellows off, of the drum and out of the washing machine. Installation was the reverse of removal.

Washer shook and made noise during spin cycle.
Shocks are the #1 recommendation for this problem, but they were not the solution. The problem turned out to be broken weld in the stainless tub. Three of the shocks can be replaced from the front, the one under the motor can only be accessed from the back of the machine, which means it has to be pulled out away from the wall. Taking the old ones out is kind of a pain, they don't twist off easily and there is little room to use tool. Putting the new ones in is easy, they just twist into place.

Washer would not fill
replaced actuator switch. It did not fix the problem. Replaced actuator arm, and fixed. Needed the switch because gears were stripped. Needed the arm because it seems over time, the arm straightened, thereby increasing its length so that the rotation of the switch bound up during its cycle.

New baffle would not fit in slots in washer drum. Measuring there is a slight difference in slot openings as compared to new baffles, so was unable to get them inserted. PartSelext very helpful and I'm am to get a credit. Factory to let me know if need to send new baffles back.
New baffles would not fit. PartSelect very helpful to get refund.
New baffles should just slide in but did not. Measuring slots and
connection points on new baffles appear to be a difference preventing
connection.
