2DMTW5705TW0 Washer - Instructions

The fix was super easy. The parts were less then the shipping and had my parts one day ahead of the estimated time on the internet. It was a Bing Bang Boom project that saved the fiance and me a few bucks.

Used video that was sent with confirming email to temove cabinet, agitator, pump, motor and transmission. Replaced clutch and agitator repair kit and reassembled. Washer worked correctly the first time I tried it.

Using the video I was able to remove the outer frame and found the water pump was leaking. Ordered a new part and using the video was able to replace without a problem. Machine works great, no leaks. My son and son-in-law said just replace the machine...well once I found the problem, was an easy fix. The hardest part was lining up the outer frame so the fitting was right. I'm 65 young and yes women you can do it!!

well the replacement of the directional cogs was easy, once i was able to separate the the top and bottom half of the actual agitator. What i could not find out about my whirlpool gold was their was 4 plastic tabs that held the whole cog assembly onto the agitator. i could not pull it apart like all the videos were showing, until i took it to a repair shop and he showed me. After i used a hammer with a screwdriver to break the plastic tabs, it popped right apart. The actual repair only took about 30 min. once i was able to get the agitator apart.

don't know, I ordered the part and my husband repaired it. Did not take him long at all.

used diagram of agitator taken from the computer to install the part. Diagram showed every part of the agitator and the order each, part went.

once I figured out how to take off the top soap dispenser it was really easy to take apart the rest of the inside cover and remove the agitator bolt, then lift off the top agitator piece and spacer. with instructions I received with the parts I ordered it was very easy to reassemble.

Pulled off the fabric softner holder, pulled out the cover for the agitator. Used a socket set to loosen the screw that holds in the agitator hub, pulled out the hub, removed the gasket from the cogs and replaced new cogs. Works like new!!!!

The most helpful hint was the video that I followed to a tee an if not I'd be treading in deep water. Very good but being a rookie it took me a hour an a half to complete, but it was my first voyage, of which should take 30 min if skilled a little bit. End results it works better than it has ever but always remember to keep track of all parts to replace it back in the right position. Thanks Again an I'll be back to see you if necessary for future reference!!!

I could add absolutely nothing to the instructions given on your site. They were short, simple and easy to follow. I was so proud of just how well everything did go. We were looking at a three hundred dollar repair bill, which I did myself for about twenty bucks! To be perfectly honest, it was actually fun! Thank you so much for your site! Aerospace designer

I disconnected the washer from the water hoses and unplugged it. I laid it down on its back and the pump was right there on the bottom front. There were no clips holding the pump. With a pair of Channel Locks I disconnected the two hoses from the pump. I had to pry it off using a screwdriver. The pump shaft was rusty from the water leak so I wire brushed off. I put the new clips I ordered in place and pushed the new pump on. I then snapped the back clip on first because it was easier with a little tilt of the pump. I had to use my screwdriver to put the outside clip on. I reconnected the hoses put the wash back upright hooked up the water hoses and plugged it back in. I turned on and no leaks and is working good.

Partselect's video on how to replace the waterpump was great, but I was a bit stymied at the beginning as the control panel on my Whirlpool was attached differently than shown in the video. Mine was held on with two Phillips head screws in the back corners of the control panel. Also I'd suggest replacing the tub to pump hose (Part PS334685) at the same time-I wish I did. That hose was coated with crud which I cleaned out the best I could. All in all a pretty easy job-hardest part was getting cabinet back on (put the front bottom under the frame, then lower the cabinet onto the frame.

just like video except to keep cogs in place I inverted upper agitator with all parts and bolt inserted held in place with socket and extension.

Pretty much followed repair video. The parts were wrong except the four dogs and rubber seal that went around the softener cap. After unplugginh the machine before starting work and removing the agitator per video, I had to put agitator on the ground, stand on both sides of the base and pulled it apart. The new cam was way too tall so I removed the bearing gently with a screwdriver removed the old cam dogs, put new ones in and seated the bearing to hold the dogs in. I than put agitator grease on. It would be nice if the 5 milligrams of grease that cost about 10 cents but can only find in a tube for 5 dollars was included with the kit. I now have enough grease to do a thousand agitators. Anyway, I reassembled per video replacing the cap seal and tested the unit. It is important to plug machine back in, because it was unplugged BEFORE working on it. It works like new. It is a very simple repair and cost about $20 instead of the $75 just to get someone to look at it plus cost of parts and labor.
