11016852501 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

watched video on facebook, and followed the instructions,one of the easies repairs I have had to do in a long time.

removed the aggitater and the replaced coggs, no difficulties at all ,thanx for the very quick parts delivery

Being 77 years old an use a wheel chair it took longer than when I was younger but even so it all went well. I removed top control panel, unplug wire connectors, pulled case away so I could lay machine back, remove pump retainers, motor retainer bolts then retainers. then pried coupling apart and installed new one which is better made with metal insert so I had to drive it on, the new switch was an unplug connector and ground screw simple thing then put case back on, snap clips in place, hook connectors up & screwed controls down. Thanks

Flipped the machine on its front, noticed a pile of black rubber dust, identified where the dust was from. Took some time moving pieces around to get access to the coupling. Finally got it off and saw that 4 of the 6 plastic pins that hold the rubber piece had snapped off. Ordered the part and waited a couple of days (the site said 5-8 days or something but it only took 2). Wife got tired of broken washer spread all over the place but I didn't want to move it until I got the part. It was more challenging to get the part in than it was to take it apart because there's not much room to get your hand where it needs to be. I ended up flipping the machine a few times until I got it where gravity was pulling the motor down, giving me enough access to put the part in. My biggest fear was that the hoses weren't tight enough and that I'd have to take it out again, but it was fine and everything's worked great since.

followed repair instruction,( bought on line and down loaded ) some instructions were unclear but when you have the machine apart its obvious. your parts breakdown helped more than the instructions once the cabinet was opened.

I watched your'e easy to do repair video and it was so easy. I just followed the instructions and it saved me an expensive service call as we live in a rural area. Thank you so much.

The lid switched arrived as indicated by the order information. Pulling the washer out to remove the rear panel was the most difficult part of the repair. 5 screws had to be removed before changing out the switch and installing the new part. The repair proved successful after the washer filled with water and began agitating on its own.

I unhooked the two motor brackets, dropped the motor down out of the way, separated the coupling into three parts and slid them in place one at a time. I had to tap them a little with the hammer to get them on the shaft. I put the motor back in place and was done. It worked great and took about 20 minutes.

very simple fix. if your machine works great, but doesnt agitate, replace those dogs. works like new, for about 10 bucks

I lifted the machine up with one hand while lying on the floor and installed the new pump after aligning the motor shaft to the pump. I then snapped the pump onto the motor shaft and added the top and bottom "keeper snaps". That was it.

Well pop off the plastic cap, remove the nut that holds the agitator on and lify off the unit. Replace the cogs and return the machine to service. I was afraid to even look at this, what an easy repair. The parts were ordered and they arrived at my house the next day, no special delivery or extra postage paid, just prompt service from these folks, they ROCK!

Many kudos to the folks who posted here. The instructions with the part didn't help much, but your comments did. I found it quite easy to replace the retaining clips using a pair of pliers at their wide setting to press the clip back into place. Oh, and when you tip the washer over, have a can of bug spray handy, you might be upsetting a black widow or two.

When water started pouring out of our washer, I removed the pump. A pair of pliars removes the two hose clamps, and there are two clips that you remove with your hands to get the pump off. The pump looked fine, so I took it to the sink, and put some water in it. I then plugged one hose "port" with my hand and blew hard into the other. Water squirted out. There was a fine crack in th eplastic of the pump. I mixed up some 2 part epoxy and put it over the crack. This fixed the problem for a little over a month. Then the pump got more leaks, so I ordered a pump from here, that arrived in 2 days. I quickly replaced it, and it works great.

I followed the video step by step and than it became easy

1) Tilt washer back to get to pump and motor under washer. 2) Pop off clips with screwdriver, holding pump to motor. 3) Use pliers to remove hose clamps from hoses to pump. Use a small bucket to catch small amount of water in the pump. 4) Reverse steps to install new pump
