-   Both of the shocks on mine are broken, but they both appear to bolted in at the top with a plastic bolt... is this possible or am I crazy?-   YoTeach

-   The washer became extremely unbalanced and the left spring and shock broke off, maybe some plastic too. Is this something a novice can order parts for and fix or should I call in a pro?

There was a revision to the shocks which you'll see when you get the new ones. Squeeze the two retaining barbs in with a pair of pliers then twist and push rearward. On the right one you have the air dome in the way - it helps to have a buddy pull from the back while you release the barbs.

I have a w10117769a and the I have clothes in the washer that completed it's cycle of cleaning and the door will not open. The manual said to press the stop button to open which I tried and the add garment light came on. I tried starting and stopping the machine with no luck. The machine is stuck and will not unlock the door
