41744142400 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

I removed the back cover after disconnecting the electric and shutting off the water. I then proceeded to disconnect the water lines and then removed the water inlet valve by removing the two screws holding it in place. Then I used pliers to remove the hose leading to the washer. After that I did everything in reverse and was back in business. The video was very helpful and it made me feel comfortable with the procedure. I now know a little more about washers. Thanks for the excellent information.

Remove the top cover and the doorlacth and unplug the old parts as simple as that

I didn't have the right tool, so asked my handyman neighbor to come do a few projects and he had the driver in his pocket screw driver. it is a tip that is included in many multi-tip drivers. two screws removed the old and replaced the new. cheaper than local parts place, and no repair man. thanks

took off front an back panels-pushed half inch socket over pins and pulled them out with channel locks from opposite side of socket-need a piece of broom handle or something about 2 ft. long to tap pins back in to make installation easier

It went easy

The entire process, from diagnosing the problem, ordering the part, and instalation was fantastic! I ordered the part Friday afternoon and had it at my door Saturday afternoon. I was so relieved to read the installation posts from other customers demonstrating how common this issue is and how easy it was to fix! I simply watched the installation video that was sent with my confirmation email. It is also conveniently located on your website. I had the new part installed in less than 30 minutes AND before my husband got home! Thank you Partselect.com!

Removed two screws and replaced the door strike.

After watching the video, it was easy to chage them out. Very satisfied with getting order quickly and helpful instructions. Pins came out just like the video, new ones went in with no problem. Washer acting normal again.

on front of machine,,,removed 2 screws at bottom corners. open top cover, using putty knife to release spring clips between front panel & top cover, lift & support top cover.note; tape hinged lid of machine to hold closed.the remove front panel of washer using a downward motion.re move spring clamp on water pump ,w/pliers, by sliding clamp upwards along drain hose. with a twisting motion,remove hose from pump.thread old hose out through back of machine.reverse reassembly,using new drain hose.note; suggest using an automotive radiator hose clamp on pump/hose connection instead of spring clamp.most spring type clamps will lose their tension with repeated plier action.

Unplug the unit and disconnect the water lines. Remove the rear and top panels of the washer housing. Remove the drive belt and pulley. Use caution when removing the pulley as it is cast aluminium and will crack fairly easily. Remove the 3 8mm hex screws securing the motor, remove the motor. Remove the brick counter weight. Next remove the lower drainage hose on the under side of the drum. Remove the front rubber seal, there is a metal ring clamp around it tucked behind it, just stretch the spring to remove. (do not be afraid of this step it was very simple to re-install. I tried to avoid this step initially and leave the drum inside the housing, this was extremely annoying as it is very difficult to access the drum fasteners.)Remove the two shock absorbers by squeezing the front of the plastic pins and pulling on the rear with pliers. The drum should be hanging by the springs, next unhook the springs and pull the drum out(I had a friend help with this, the drum is pretty heavy but is managable by yourself if needed) you may have to disconnect the small air hose that connects to the pressure switch in order to slide the drum out. With the drum out simply unscrew the 20 - 10mm fasteners with a drill and socket adapter/extensions. With all the fasteners out you can seperate the two halves and remove the metal wash drum by taping on the shaft with a rubber mallet (do not hit the shaft with a metal hammer, it will mushroom the end and you will have difficulty reinstalling it. Use a block of wood if you have too. Once the metal drum is removed slide the new rear housing over it and re-assemble the washer in reverse order. You can do it, this was easier than I expected

In the video sent it showed how to replace the shocks with only removing the lower front panel. I found it was easier to also remove the back panel. There are more screws but it provided open access to the pins that needed to be removed. The parts went in easily and when compared to the original equipment looked stronger.

I failed to replace washre belt. It is too too tight to be replaced by my man power.

first off I watch the video on how to take this apart and how hard it would be for a women to do it. I then ordered the part from you guys which got here quickly and started the tore down with taking off the front panel on the bottom, unplugging the unit and turning off the water. then I got plenty of towels and started with unpluging the pump, and using a vise grip took off clamps, water drained out and replaced with new pump, when I restarted it still would not drained, found the filter which is located in the big hose itself that comes off the tub filled with hair and junk, you can take a needle nose pliers to pull out the clog or work the white plastic piece out to clean it all the way out then replace back into big hose. put back together and it works.. Thank you..

I took off the top of the washer. It seemed easier than playing with the door gasket. It took about 15 minutes. Everything worked great. The washer is working again. THANKS PARTSELECT

Remove the broken striker, screwed in the new one in less than 2 minutes...this is the second time it was replaced...the first time I was still under warranty...he took about the same amount of time to install ...I ordered 2, because I know it will be broken again....
