Do-It-Yourself Story

Replaced the water inlet pipe which had cracked. However I discovered that a small amount of water was still splashing out around the door gasket when the washer is tumbling. Now I will go back and replace it. The online videos are extremely helpful. There are lots of screws to remove as you take off various parts to get down to the part that needs replacing. I taped the screws for each separate part to a sticky note and labeled it so I would remember what went where. I also stuck the sticky notes to a cookie sheet in the order that I removed them. That helped A LOT because I was interrupted during the repair job and did not get back to it until the next morning. I also had to unplug all the wires from the control panel, so I made a couple close-up pictures of it with my cell phone camera before unplugging them - that helped also.
