A15CM Maytag Washer - Instructions

Removed front panel, raised top, started washer and observed location of leakage in vicinity of injector valve/nozzle. Disconnected hoses (2 places} to remove existing injector valve and nozzle. Had to grind thru one of the hose clamp "rings" which had no screw to tighten/loosen it to remove it. Installed new injector valve and nozzle and reattached hoses using an existing hose clamp and one new hose clamp to replace original "ring" clamp. Refastened washer top using socket set and refastened front panel.

1)Shut off power supply to dryer. 2)Removed lint filter. 3)Removed two screws that secure filter duct to dryer top. 4)Lifted front of top to gain access to door switch. 5)Removed two switch mounting screws. 6)Removed the two power leads. 7)Reconnected power leads to new switch using "Normally Closed" terminal on switch. 8)Reversed the previous procedures to complete repair.

Watched the installation video on the website and used exactly the same technique. Belts came off easily as did the pump assembly. Installed the new pump and belts and adjusted the pump belt tension to 1/4 " when squeezed together. Replaced the front panel and moved washer back into position. The pump noise was gone and there were no leaks. Easy job.

Unplug the machine and disconnect the two water hoses. Use a short phillip screwdriver to remove two screws from the bottom front of the machine. Lift of the front panel to expose the motor. Lay the machine on its back on a 4 x 4 so the drain hose won't be damaged. If the screws appear rusted spary Kroil on them and let it soak for 45 - 60 mins. Remove the two belts. Remove the pulley via the set screw. Remove the four nuts to free the motor and slide plate. Undo all the wires. Remove the four nuts holding the slide plate. Install the new motor.

searched on line for the part.you guys had a very informative video looked how simple it was i purchased the part i needed and the rest was history thanks you guys are great saved me around 140.00 bucks. for about 15 minutes worth of work

pulled out washer from the wall tilted back towards the wall. removed front panel by pulling it out at the bottom. .removed belts by spinning the pulley .similar to taking a bike chain off. cleaned all pulleys with a degreaser 409 etc. springs are under the motor. slide motor away from you. remove springs with needle nose pliers from the front. to install new springs hook them to the rear of the motor first. fish them under the motor then grab them with needle nose pliers and hook to the front of the bracket. you could also tie a fishing line to the front of the spring and pull it thru that way. install belts [very easy]. did not need plastic guides. i did not install

installation was difficult because the "universal" valve was a different size than the original. The solenoids were taller on the replacement valve, could not use the mounting bracket because the unit could not fit in the confined space. I also don't know why the water outlet nipple had to be smaller on the new assembly, requiring the use of a Rube Goldberg piece of tubing.

Love these older machines... Easy simple and straightforward. Lay the product front up on a small 2 X 4. Remove front cover, (two phillips head screws near bottom). reach under hand roll off both belts,, check belt numbers to ensure old belt numbers with new belts. Rolled on new belts, checked tension, per enclosed note. Ajusted belt tension via the pump. replaced front cover and screws. Install unit, (be sure to level it) Time to Rock and roll.

Called an appliance service center. They said most likely the injector nozzle. The PartSelect web site confirmed so. I watched the 10 minute video. Pulled off front panel which was the second most difficult task. The clips at the top flew out. Opened top, verifed the nozzle injector (hose) was leaking. Ordered part and installed. Since the clips popped out, there did not seem to be a sure way for their fit, to secure the top of the front panel, to the machine. That was the most difficult part of the repair. Works great. My mother was going to buy a new machine and the solution was a $13 part.

Basically the instructional video video for replacing the valve was great, but pretty obvious. Unplugged the machine. Shut off the water and disconnected the hoses (if the shutoffs are old you might need a pipe wrench or large pliers to get them completely shut off). I kept an old towel on the floor to sop up drippage. Removed the screw that holds the plate, then the two that hold the valve, all with 1/4 inch socket driver. Remove wires, loosen hose clamp on inlet hose but make sure it won't fall down into the machine. The video showed how to rotate the contacts so that they were aimed the same as on my old valve - pry up on the frame with a screwdriver and rotate until it clicks into the other slot. Just reverse the procedure with the new valve - orange and white wires to top (hot) valve, blue and white to cold. 15-20 minutes if all goes well. Note, the plate and valve attachment screws may not all be the same length even though they look the same. My problems were due to the very old washing machine. The clamp for the inlet hose was an old type that could not be loosened and had to be torn apart, luckily I had a modern 1/2 inch clamp on hand to replace it with. I had to bend the plate a little to get the attachment screw hole to line up with the hole in the washer. Also the connecting hose washers were too old and had to be replaced. I would suggest replacing these in any case and using a large pliers to get them snugly tightened.

I followed the step by step instructions on the video and it worked to a (T). You guys are the best. Thank you for all your help. Sincerely Eddie .

I am not going to describe the repair. The video that Part Select has on their website is exactly how our repair went. Very simple. This is the second time we have used Part Select. They have saved us a lot of money on repairmen or new purchases. I would definitely use them in the future. The videos are so easy to follow anybody can make the repairs. Also, the delivery company not only misdelivered the part but, they damaged it. When I called Part Select about the part being damaged, they immediately sent out a new part without any questions. Why aren't all companies this awesome?!

First I looked it up on the computer and clicked on Part Select's page and it came up with the part needed and then I watched the video on installing the part. It was easy to follow their instructions and the repair was made. I was so pleased with everything I ran across a man in the hardware store this morning and he was having cloths dryer trouble that I told him to just click on your site and the rest would be easy. He said he would do that. In fact I took the Wife out to dinner on just part of what money you saved me. Thanks, Harold

I watched the video and everthing went pretty well. The only problem I had was removing the Clamp Nut. My Washer is more than 10yrs. old so there is a lot of water and lime build up. I use a Cole Chisel and a Ball Pen Hammer to break the Clamp Nut. Because you can dispose of it anyway a new Clamp Nut comes with your Mounting Stem/Tub Seal Kit. The Tub wrench comes in handy for removing the Mounting Stem and to reseat the Mounting Stem. You are also going to need the Tub Wrench for reseating the Clamp Nut. You can order a Tub Wrench online there are various web sites.

Repair was very easy. I watched the video once and followed all the instructions to replace the water inlet valve, injector valve and nozzle. If I see it done once, I can do the repair. I was very impressed with PartSelect's web site, instructions and video. I'm glad my wife found you on the web. Will do business with you again.
