Do-It-Yourself Story

Opened the washer (details later) and noted the controls and water path. Ordered dispenser bottom and cover and dispenser valve assembly and rubber washers. When the parts arrived I removed the top portion of the detergent dispenser assembly; removed the door and 2 screws from opposite door wall; snap open the front cover and lifted it off; removed 1 metal screw each from the bottom front corners of the top cover; lifted the top cover and used a piece of wood to hold it up; pull down/disconnected the valve assembly power lines; removed the 2 half-inch water supply lines to the valve dispenser; disconnected the 2-inch rubber hose from the bottom dispenser. I assembled the new dispenser parts and installed it. I did a quick washer run to confirm no leaks.
