Paul K Waunakee , WI December 18, 2020 Ripped bellow door boot. Followed youtube instruction video found independently with searching how to fix the problem. Took the top off of the washer. Took off the face of the washer, removed top and bottom exposed balancing weights. Removed old bellow door boot. Did all steps back in reverse. Had a very hard time getting the bellow reattached to the washer as the video was very non-specific of which grove actually attached back onto the water.

Collectively, it took me around an hour and a half to 2 hours, not including time it took to clean the parts which were soaked and scrubbed in bleach.
