Repair & Advice
The hardest part was getting my Bravos X washer into diagnostic mode to where I could get a code. Finally did and said it could be Shift Actuator. Watched a video on youtube. Looked easy. Ordered the part. All I had to do was unhook hoses, lay washer on its front, unscrew 2 small screws from the guard, which gave me access to the actuator. 2 more small screws held it, and then unplugged the wire harness. Plug in to new actuator, put screws back in, rehook hoses. 15 minutes tops. Easy. Washer works perfectly again.

Problem
Would not sensor, drain, and spin properly. The sensor for the amount of water needed for the amount of clothing was not working properly because the washer was not spinning to sense the proper weight of clothing,then when wash cycle was done the clothing would still be wet so it was not draining and spinning properly..
Tools
Phillips head screwdriver
Repair & Advice
Unplugged electric cord from outlet. Shut off water to hot and cold lines. Detached hot and cold hoses from washer. Put washer on to front. Unscrew screws, remove wiring from shift actuator, remove old actuator, replace with new actuator and follow steps backwards.
