A511 Maytag Washer - Instructions

I followed the video provided. The video was very clear and helpful.

My wife did the repair. Went on your website and watch the video on how to replace the switch and she was able to do it herself. I didn't mind at all. Saved $75.00 service charge.

followed video from your website. Nut does not come off as easy as your video shows.

I removed the front of the washer,replaced the hose and my wife was back in bussiness.

Shut water off and unplugged. Used channel locks to remove hoses. Used nut driver to remove mounting plate. Disconnected electrical connections to solenoids. Broke one. Had to replace. Used nut driver to loosen fill hose. Rusty and broke. Cut hose. Used new clamp to secure fill hose to fill solenoids. Stripped and crimped on new connector and replaced electrical connections as they were removed. Reinstalled hoses and plugged in. Tested A-OK.

All I had to do was take the front of the washer off by unscrewing two screws at the bottom front panel using a screw driver, then loosen the top by taking two hexnut screws out from under the top (in front top corners of the washer. Next, I lifted the top of the washer up (which is on hinges, disconnected one hose clap at the top rear laft corner of the washer and pulled out the rubber injector valve which has the plastic injector nozzle inside of it. I inserted the new plastic onzzle in the new rubber valve, placed it back in the hose, tightened the hose clamp and replaced the screws in the top of the washer and put the front panel back in place and screwed in the bottom. It could not have been simpler and saved me at least $60-$80 dollars in repair costs.(I know because I paid to have this replaced once before, but never again.)

watched video, ordered parts, parts arrived fast in two days, watched video again, Repaired washer saved money

Remove front panel removed two screws holding top down, then removed plastic tube cover, removed balancer to make more room to work. Next removed set screw holding dasher, next remove spanner nut that held inner tube shield. Tthen lifted inner tube out of washer, now I removed the stem hold down and seal important clean area where seal touches the tube nowuse little water to wet new seal pt new seal ln careful not to damage simply reverse removal step and put the unit back together

The repair went fairly smooth following the directions that came with the damper pad kit from partselect.com. It only took as long as it did because the glue has to dry for the pads and it takes a few minutes to scrape off the old pads and glue. this can definitely be done by a first time do it yourselfer. Pliers are needed to remove a spring hose clamp in the back of the washer drum. Two 4x4's are needed to rest the washer drum on in order to gain access to the pads (in directions provided).

I got online and found Parts Select which help me learn how to open the washer top. At that point I could see the problem and using this website I was able to buy just the parts I needed to replace a leaking backflow valve on the water inlet to the washer. It was great to quickly solve the problem and purchase the parts.

contacted Justanswer.com with description. Expert defined problem, identified part need and gave us link to your website. Rapid arrival of part, but we took a couple of weeks to get around to it as the washer was operational, just noisy. Website video of how to do repair was invaluable. Watched prior to starting the job and checked video again during repair to verify understanding. Wonderful to be independent of the vagaries of appliance repair. I would recommend Justanswer and PartSelect to anyone!

The most important part of my repair was watching the video that was sent to me with my order confirmation. After I viewed it, the rest was easy. The only hard part was moving the washer away from the wall!

Exactly as shown in your provided video from You Tube. What a life saver. The description of needed tools, and the fact that the main nuts securing the tub were REVERSE thread! I would not have suspected that and probably would still be beating on them, tightening them rather than loosening them!It is worth the price to purchase the spanner wrench (correct style), used to remove those tub nuts. Thanks for the great service and the video. Well done!

I found on youtube that there are directions to repair. Dryer problems are usually one of three things, the door switch being one of them. i checked this last (should have been first). ordered the part( about 65% off sear's cost) and it came in one day! It went on really easy as long as you knew from repair video how to access inside. almost spent $400.00 on a new one.

Located leak. Removed part. After entering model and serial numbers located necessary part order number. Received quickly and had everything back in working order immediately! Please note when working with scaled and lime build-up on parts, I completely clean surrounding areas and necessary related parts with "lime-away" prior to new part installation!!!
