A8120 Maytag Washer - Instructions

real simple i just layed it down and replaced the belts DWIGHT SHAW PS. NO TOOLS REQUIRED.

Remove the front panel by removing the screws at the bottom of the panel; remove the screws holding top and swing back on hinges; loosen the screws on the back holding the valve and replace the valve following how the defective one was attached and then reverse the operation.

tilted the machine back 45 degress. took both belts off and replaced them with the 2 new ones. put some tension on the drive belt and put the machine back in place, did a test run and it worked great.

I went on line to Parts Select since I had used them before, found the correct diagram of my washing machine and determined which parts were causing the problem. ordered the parts and replaced them when they came in. I did not assemble the Plastic Injector Nozzle and Injector Sleeve quite right as I still had a leak after assembling everything. I then watched th on line video showing how to replace the parts I was dealing with. After watching it a couple of times, I saw what I was doing wrong and re-assembled the parts. his tme around everything worked correctly and the my washer now runs as good as new!

removed 2 screws holding on front panel,tilted machine back and remover belts checked stretch against new belts.stretch was minimal.removed 3 screws of pump from underneath machine.pump impeller was free slipping replaced pump installed new belts reattached front cover& started washing clothes again.less than 15 min to do everything

I watched the YouTube video twice and it was just as easy as in the video. No problems. I ran a couple of test loads and it was back working like a champ. My parents had their belt changed by a repair man and it cot them $150 (pretty reasonable). This whole repair cost only $45 and 15 minutes (including the video watching time!). It pays to do the simple things.

I unplugged machine and removed water and clothes. Tipped washer bback to gain acccess to belts, which slipped off and back on quite easily. Put washer back in place, plugged in and continued washing clothes. Simple!

Just as the video described.... Unplugged the machine, turned off the water, both hot and cold. Unhooked the hoses (replaced them at this time since they were over 5 years old). Took out the top screw holding the frame piece and removed from machine. Took off the wires and the output hose. Removed the valve ass'y from the frame piece. Matched new to the original and reassembled in reverse order.

Ordered replacement water inlet valve, switched out within 10 mins and problem solved for less than $50. Maytag design easily allowed for the inlet valve unit to be replaced without accessing interior workings of the washer. The unit is mounted with 3 screws on a removable rear panel where the hot and cold H2O hoses are connected. Very easy! Tested immediately upon completion and was delighted to see that hot, warm and cold water filled the tub extremely fast, the way it worked when purchased new 18 years ago. The web site repair video was key to my success.

Being mechanically inclined, I found this repair pretty straight forward. First, watch the video and keep returning to it to double check yourself. Second, find someone with the spanner wrench, or purchase one. I called a appliance repair shop, and they loaned me one with a refundable deposit. My only compliant is the the out side tub bolts have a rubber washer that is not included with the repair parts kit. Inspect the rubber or find replacements. As the video explains, "TIGHTEN THE NUTS not the BOLTS", this will keep the old rubber washers from twisting. Recommend replacing your transmission shaft bearing and wash tub seal at the same time, If you can afford them.

Just tilt the washing machine, take out the old and put back the the one its so easy. You don't have take out anything.

smell of burnt material led me to the belts. they were not broken so while watching my wife turned the machine on-I observed that ther motor would spin but nothing else- so I pushed on it and it engaged into a spin cycle, I ordered a motor mount and two replacement belts- removing the belts and cleaning the area all looked as it should so I replaced the belts Test run all okay so I returned the motor mount. Turned out to be an easy repair-- Thank you

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

Couldn’t be happier with the service provided by PartSelect. By looking at the diagram of my washer at their Internet site I could see exactly which parts I needed for my 20-year old Maytag clothes washer. The parts I ordered were received within three business days and were perfect replacement parts. While I didn’t need it, an added bonus was I was sent information videos that I could watch over the Internet that clearly showed how to install the parts. While I just had a simple hose leak from age and wear, I replaced some additonal parts at the same time just to be on the safe side. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for more in being able to do the job myself.

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.
