Washer would not adgitate
I ordered a lid switch because the washer wouldn't agitate. Most reviews indicated that was the problem. While waiting for the part to arrive, I discovered the transmission to be of fault.I let parts select know that I no longer needed the part. Parts Select gave me an immediate refund no questions asked and before I returned the part to them. That is customer service!! I will use Parts Select for all my future purchases. I can trust a company that trusts its customers.

Washer was making an awful screeching noise when agitating
I turned off and disconnected the water lines (have a bucket ready) and tipped the washer on its back. I followed along with the provided video that was super helpful. Disconnecting, moving the washer, and reconnecting everything took longer than the repair. Very satisfied with this repair!

very low cold water pressure
First problem I found, feed hose has cone screen . this was half clogged with black debris ,from deteriorating feed water hose ,(replace hose).old valve did not have internal filter inside port, but new one did. When removing old valve. lift up out of feed ports. Look for black rubber debris, from tube seals floating in box. You can remove particles with Q-tip and a pair of tweezers. After that, I have full flow. Great looking part, Fast delivery. 5 stars.

Washer wasn’t spinning fast enough to get the water out and it had a slight burning electrical smell.
I simply followed your clutch drive repair video on YouTube, that wasn’t the problem so I replaced the motor… remove the cover that goes over the drive belt by taking out the two screws, remove the belt, unplug the wire connector going to the motor and remove the two bolts that hold it up and it falls right into your hand. Then reverse the process and that’s it. Very easy repair.

Not really a problem but the hardest part was moving the washer to lay on its back.
I simply followed Steve's instructions on video. Very easy repair. Washer works great, no jumping or vibrating.

Rinse cycle kept repeating, did not spin clothes
Spin indicator light was illuminated but machine was repeating rinse cycle rather than spinning water out of clothes. Replaced the pulley and drive coupler, thinking there was a mechanical problem. Video instructions were great but old pulley and drive coupler looked perfect so replacing them did nothing. Next I replaced the washer actuator (shifter), thinking that was the reason for no high speed spin. Easy job, as shown in the video, but it also did nothing. The problem turned out to be a failure in the control panel, probably resulting from years of vibration. Decided to stop chasing my tail and bought a new washer.

Washer would not agitate or spin and took over 2 hours to go through all cycles.
Started by replacing the lid latch assembly but this did not fix the problem. Parts Select representative suggested replacing the drive pulley clutch assembly. I order this and a new shift actuator. Had difficulty installing the new black shift actuator as it has a different electrical connection location from the original red part. The plug on the existing wiring harness would not reach the socket on the new black shift actuator. I had to remove the socket from the new black actuator casing so the plug would reach the socket. Washer is now working.
