The drain hose had a leak
First unplug the washer and turn water off..Next take off back of the washer ( I used a socket set). Then underneath the front load tub, take that panel off to get to the pump (there are 3 screws in the front panel). Then get a towel put it underneath the water pump. Next take your pliers and squeeze the tab holding the end of the drain hose where it connects to the pump, Slide the clip up on the pump connection, pull off hose ,make sure your towel is underneath the end of the hose.Next reach your hand through the back of the washer and squeeze the plastic holder w[th your hand to release the hose. Then pull old hose out and replace it the the new hose. Just reverse the steps to put it in..

It didn't seem like the drum was spinning fast enough when washing a full load to wring all the water out of the clothes
I basically just followed the directions in the Parts Select video. The only thing that was a little difficult was getting the new belt to feed onto the drum pulley, but after a couple of tries I was able to get it on. I'm glad the video mentioned this might be a little difficult or I might have thought I was doing something wrong.

mice chewed thru hose
Pretty straight forward , It is a tight work are especially laying on your stomach. To make installation easier I recommend buying a 3-4 inch hose clamp instead of trying to use the old pinch style clamp. You will only need a zip tie if you reuse the existing clamps. remember to remove the plastic ball from the old rubber hose into the new hose.

Drive belt replacement
I never did the repair because Partselect.com shipped the wrong part. Then they charged me a 2nd time to resend the correct part plus the fees for shipping the correct part overnight which I did not get it until 2 days later. Now I shipped both parts back & have to wait for a refund.
I will never order from them again!

Water was leaking from what appeared to be from around the concrete counterweight
After further investigation I realized that the original dispenser hose from the soap bin to the inner tip was the cause of the leak. Before this repair, I replaced the bellows. And as part of that replacement process you have to remove the washer dispenser hose from the inner tub so that I could complete the bellows installation. However when I put everything back together the old washer dispenser hose was leaking terribly. This was fixed easily with a new hose and an 1-1 3/4 inch hose clamp. I found an installation video that allows you to come from the top down to replace this hose but for my model of washer and because the drier was stacked on top, I took apart the front of the washer since I learned from a different video how to do this in order to install the bellows. No more leaking at all with the new hose.

pump impeller broken
Only needed a pair of pliers for the clamps on the hoses connected to the pump. Removed the old pump ( no tools needed) and reinstalled the hoses. Works like a charm!

Washer would not drain
Checked for 120 V AC at pump connector. It was present . Pump was hot. Ordered new pump. Changing the pump is a piece of cake. Just tilt machine back and rest on a brick. Remove 3 5/16th screws . Disconnect 2 hoses and 1 plug. Took 10 minutes tops. Back in business.

Old hot water inlet hose had budge at both ends.
Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Bought a washer without front leveling feet
The repair was simple as you can imagine. Thought I could buy these legs at any big box store or at least at the local hardware store. No such luck. Partselect had the right product---easy to order and easy to install. Things around here are great.
