Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
The washer was displaying FL code, and not draining
1) Pull the washer away from the wall 2) Lean the washer back so it is balanced and you can see the bottom 3) Remove 3 screws along the front edge of bottom plate 4)Remove plate, exposing the pump 5)Remove 2 clips that hold pump to motor 6)Place the deepest pan you can fit under pump 7)Loosen hose clamp, pull hose SLOWLY from pump 8)Drain as carefully as possible (its a couple /few gallons) 9)Remove second hose clamp, set pump aside 10)Remove three bolts holding in motor 11)Remove small plastic anchor that goes through frame 12)Follow wires to plastic plug. It is easier to remove the closer to you, then push remaining side of the plug through the mount. 13) Reverse the steps, the new pump motor will go in as one unit because of the torque screws(no clips).
Note: I tried to save the old motor because I could see the clog inside of it. After freeing it up, I re-assembled it ,ran the washer and got the FL code again, So I had to remove it again and replace it with the new one. Now it has been through about 10 loads and is working well.
Removed old, pressed on new. This is no story but the reason I am writing is to say how impressed I was with the ease of using your Web site to find my part and of your spectacularly fast service.
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you
Unplugged washer from AC. Tipped washer back at about 30degrees and stabilized it (only part of job that was concerning). Removed bottom panel by removing 3 Hex Head Sheet metal screws. Disconnected white and black hoses from pump. Removed three Hex Head Machine bolts holding pump in place. Reached in and disconnected electrical connector.
Installation was the reverse.
Pump failed because capacitor failed (this was a replacement pump that was about 3 years old--first pump failed when plastic drive broke. Replacement is now metal.
This washer should have been designed with some filtration of the recirculating water, but was not (even though the literature indicates recirculating water is filtered.
I turned the washer on its side and vacuumed up water off of floor. Then I removed the bottom access panel via 3 screws. Pump and motor were separate pieces and easy to remove by hose clamps, and screws & wiring connector respectively. Replacement pump and motor was one piece that was relatively easy to install in reverse order.
1. Laid the machine on it's front. 2. Took off the bottom panel. 3. Unclipped the drain hose clamps & removed the hoses. 4. Removed the old motor/pump assembly. 5. Installed the new motor/pump assembly. 6. Re-installed the drain hoses & clamps. 7. Re-attached the bottom panel. 8. Ran the diagnostics test - everything worked!
Slid off the old and slid on the new part. Actually my wife did it with no help and was rather pleased with her self on not needing any help except ordering it.
I removed the bottom metal plate of the washer and tipped it onto its front. I removed three screws holding the pump onto the washer frame. There was an electrical plug that was difficult to unplug because I couldn't see how it was being held into place. That took the most time. Eventually I figured out that I needed to squeeze the outside of the plastic together to release the plug. Once I had that unplugged, the new pump was on in about 10 minutes. Very easy to do. I did it without my husband's help!!! Saved a repair man's fee. Everything works fine.
Error code of FL and it wouldn't pump the water out
Read from others what they did, decided I could do it also. First moved the washer to an area I could work in and tipped it on its back to get to the bottom. (lots of water here, be prepared to mop, soak up with plenty of towels) I had pumped as much water as I could see out. Took the bottom panel off, looked for the part that matched the part I ordered and unscrewed it, unplugged the wiring, removed it and put the new one in, screwed it in place, plugged the wiring together (it snaps) and replaced the bottom cover, tipped it back up and put it back in place. Tested it and it worked!! YEAH
