The "O"ring on the fabric softner inner cap broke when I was cleaning the built-up fabric softner off of the inside of the dispenser and cap. I suspect that it had just gotten old and brittle. I decided to replace the washer lid because the enamel coating was flaking off of the edges of the lid and
The "O" ring just snaps in place. For the lid it was necessary to remove the screws from the hinge on the left side, then extract the hinge rod. Once the hinge rod was removed the lid lifts out. Removed the hinge rod from the right side and installed it on the new lid. Then put the lid back in place, insert the hinge rod into the left side of the lid and replace the screws. Removed the safty switch actuater from the old lid and snapped it in place on the new lid. Done !

Washer excessive vibration during rinse spin
Well, after resolving Part Select (PS) shipping issues (PS sent me two refrigerator glass shelves instead of a Tub Spring); And as it turns out they sent me the wrong part for the suspension pads, which I have returned for credit. It takes 3-4 weeks to obtain your credit BTW.
Well after removing the cabinet, agitator, wash basket, plastic tub, all 5 springs, & pump suction line, I was able to access the Tub wear pads and suspension pads. As it turns out the suspension pads looked good.
Thank God, as PS had sent wrong parts. I replaced the wear pads, the 5 springs, and reversed the disassembly process. Took about 6 hours.
But washer works fine now, still vibrates, but does not walk across floor any more.

The washer would drain, but was screaming while doing nothing else.
The tough part was replacing the front cabinet.
I did consult the video for help on replacing the clutch spring.
Thank you for that bit.
I admit to taking too much apart, most of the cabinet back can be left alone.
Some of the plastic wire keepers/routers suffered, as well as the console hinges.
The newly reassembled washer works without a hitch, and truely it took me about 4 hours over several days to dissamble and reassemble.
It is louder in the audible range than before, but very serviceale for another 20 years, saints willing.

Top agitator not turning-teeth on cam dogs worn off
Had no problem. The instructions included with the repair parts were very easy to follow and even specified the tools to use. I had it done, back on the washer and washing clothes in about a half an hour. The down side(no fault of the parts) was that the entire pump system went out on the second load and we wound up with a new Whirpool washer, since repairs were more than the machine was worth. Thanks Parts select for your help. I plan to search your net for more products. Fixing things from engines to microswitches is a hobby for me.

Agitator had stopped working
Installation of my new agitator was a cinch. After removing the top softener dispenser and bolt cover, I used a socket wrench and extension where I then removed the 7/16ths bolt that holds the agitator on. After lifting out the old unit out, I simply positioned the new cam with dogs into the new unit...snapped the top part of agitator onto the bottom section...placed the new unit into place inside the drum, re-tightened the 7/16ths bolt, placed the new cover into place, followed by the softener dispenser. The entire process from start to finish took less than 15 minutes thanks to the easy and clear to read set of instructions. I saved a bundle doing it myself thanks to this site

Leaking water pump
Tipped the washer (combined, stacked washer and drier)back against the wall at a 45 degree angle and braced it up for safety. The pump is located at the front and bottom of the washer. Access is cramped. Removed the spring hose clamps with pliers, disconnected the hoses and released the metal pump attachment springs. Pump came off the drive shaft with a good pull. Reinstalling was more trouble due to the cramped access. The shaft needed to be sanded and lubricated with silicone before the new pump would slide on. It required a fair amount of force to get the pump in position, reconnect the hoses and the clips holding the pump. The top clip was the most difficult. Repair successful.

We had water leaking all over the floor
After determining where the leak was coming from I searched the web for help. Your website was the most helpful. I used some of your previous client comments to help me fix my washing machine. After trying without any luck in removing the broken pump I referred to your repair stories and determined that I would need to apply a little more force. Using a screw driver and hammer I pried off the face of the existing pump, then I used pliers to pull out the impeller, after that I was able to remove the remaining piece of the pump. After that I sanded the shaft, applied some vaseline and then installed the new pump. It was very easy once the broken part was removed.

top of agitator not turning
Remove softener dispencer, use flat tip screw driver to remove agitator cap, there is a slot, insert flat tip screw driver and pry up, once removed you will see the damaged dogs or cogs, use 3/8 drive ratchet with 10 or 12 inch extention and if memory serves me correct a 9/16 socket, loosen bolt and remove top agitator, there is a thrust washer between bottom and top agitator, it comes in the kit, use a little grease preferrably water resistant grease on top of washer, replace top agitator then the plastic device that the cog are inserted into and tighten bolt, put agitator cover back on with a gentle slap of the palm and reinstall softener dispencer, you are done and cloths will agitate properly again, fairly easy job and washer agitator works like new, great kit, would reccomend.
