Product review (5 stars): Why did I wait 9 months for a 5 DIY minute fix?
Almost a year ago, my washer stopped the extraction and final spins (basically it cease to stop spinning fast). I had read many horror stories about motors burning out, or catch trays clogging up. Add to that the positioning of where my washer was, it was going to be a bear of a job to remove the dryer from on top and pull out the washer to get access to the places I needed.

Nope! After some youtube sleuthing, I found out you can simply remove the spring loaded metal ring on the front of the rubber seal, and with just two screws you can remove the front door latch assembly. You can pull the latch assembly through the opening you have created by pulling away the rubber seal (I admit I was nervous about doing this, but gosh, it was so darn easy, and if I can do this, you can too!).

I popped off the connections to the old latch assembly, plugged them into the new and reversed my steps to reassemble the washer. The whole process took me no more than 5 minutes with a phillips screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers (pliers to pull back the spring loaded metal ring).

All said and done, I plugged back in the washer, works perfectly! For a part a little under $50, and a 5 minute repair, this is so very much worth it!
