The washing machine appeared stuck in the spin cycle
I watched a video on a few times that PartSelect sent me about how to make the switch from the broken lock set to the new one. And it really went just as the video showed. So far things are working.

Transmission leaking oil from seal. Separately the cold water solenoid was allowing drip I tub when not in use.
Replaced with new transmission platform. Unfortunately the seal is irreplaceable. Must have 1-5/16 inch wrench for tub nut (not 1-11/16).

Replaced with new water valve solenoid. Leak stopped. Yah!

Replaced the roller/guides for the upper tray.
Just follow the directions, it's easy. My biggest gripe is with Whirlpool. We moved into this house about a year ago; the dishwasher was new at that time. The house we moved from also had a similar Whirlpool dishwasher, less than a year old. Both had these roller assemblies break. The replacement parts are from Whirlpool, and of much better quality. I don't understand why they don't use the better parts when making the unit.

Water Inlet Valve dripping water into tub after use.
Easy fix. Take out the two screws on the backside of the control panel and remove control panel out of the way. You will need a long shaft nut driver or 1/4 inch socket extension to be able to get to the nuts, one on each side of the back of the control panel. The water inlet valve is right there in your face. Easy to remove and replace. Remember to save the small O-ring in the center of the top of the valve and reuse it. Oh, by-the-way, shut the water off first and unplug the washer. Replacement part was a perfect match.

Water would drip onto the tub when not running
Take cover off use socket driver to remove two hex head machine screws. There was a foam piece attached to the old part that i pealed off and attached to the new part. It’s there to prevent rattles. There is a tube that pulls out of the old part and a grommet inside that must be removed and placed in the new part. Connect the two electrical plugs and install the new part just like the old part came out.

Selector switches were non responsive in operation and diagnostics.
I downloaded the repair manual on line and followed the instructions for running the diagnostics. This showed that the selector switches were faulty. I then replaced the selector switches following the instructions in the repair manual. Couldn't have been easier.

Washer not spinning out completely.
1) Unplug washer
2) Remove water supply hoses
3) Remove drain hose
4) Tilt washer forward
5) Remove 4 bolts covering the motor assembly to access belt.
6) Remove old belt by turning it off the pullies.
7) The new belt needed to be stretched by attaching one end of the belt to one of the pullies using a zip tie. I did this by drilling a small hole in the larger pulley, large enough to allow the zip tie to pass through.
8) After tightening the zip tie to the belt, slowly turn the larger pulley to stretch the belt on to the smaller pulley.
9) Make sure belt is properly seated on both pullies.
10) Reinstall the cover.
11) Reattach drain hose and supply hoses.
12) Plug washer back in.

The machine stopped working completely! My wife went on YouTube,and learned that it could be the motherboard or the door latch. We changed both, and the washer would only fill but did not drain, and spin! We called a serviceman, and he had to program the service board,but said that the new door mech
We changed the circuit board once, and the door latch mechanism twice because we ordered a faulty part. Then we had to hire a service man to program the circuit board, and to inform us that the door latch mechanism was faulty.

Lid wouldn’t lock keeping machine from working
Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.
