AAV4200AGW Admiral Washer - Instructions

I followed the directions online, but they don't talk about two difficulties with this model. The first is removing the drive belt. This is CRUCIAL! Tilt the dryer backwards, and remove the belt from the pulleys. When putting it back on, when the repair is complete put it on the two smaller pulleys first, and then the large pulley. The other difficulty that is not addressed with this model is accessing the suspension springs. If you choose not to remove the entire housing, I would use a wooden block (2x4 works great) to act as a lever for the vicegrips. I may be weak, but I have a bruised forearm that would have been avoided if I had thought of the wooden block earlier.

Watch video, fallowed it's instructions which made it a "piece of cake"

I removed the belt and pully form under the washer. Lefted the top cover, removed the hardware above the tub, took the front cover panel off to gain access to the tub. Used pliers to remove the springs. Lifted the tub up high enough to install the snubber ring. After putting tht washer back together and doing the first the load the washer stopped banging.

I replaced the suspension springs and the snubber ring. It was a ittle dificult because there was no door in back of machine. so i had to remove entire cabnet. using the quarters to spread the springs was a great help. it would have been a lot harder if you had not showed me this trick. Machine is working great now. Thank You.

Remove the access panel on the lower back of the washer, the pump is on the rear left side and is help in place by 3 screws. Remove both hoses with pliers and the screws and the pump is out. Install the new pump and connect the hoses and lean the washer back to connect the belt on the bottom.

I borrowed a 13mm socket wrench. Removed the softener dispenser, prying it off with a flat screwdriver. Unscrewed the 13mm bolt, lifted off the broken agitator, placed the new agitator in place and bolted it down. At that point, the dispenser simply snaps back into place. Very simple replacement.

Remove all hoses and power supply tiled washer towards the front. By removing four screws to rear access panel on the back of washer to gain access to drain pump. Removing drive belt and releasing hose clamps. With socket wrench or nut driver remove three screws to remove pump from washer base. Replaced with new drain pump is a reverse to removing old pump.

Just like the viedo said, release the springs holding the top, remove the screws and replace the hinge. Put the top back on by snapping back into place.

Took off pre wash vessel from top of agitator. With the aid of a small socket unbolted and removed agitator. Fitted new replacement, took less than fifteen minutes, including unpacking the new part. The delivery of which was incredibly quick.

I don't think I have a lot to add, there are some great instructions and comments already on the site. Our washing machine is getting a little old but this was a fairly easy fix. Our washing machine was constantly off balance and walking across the floor. I can't believe how much of a difference these little parts made. It saved us a ton of money so thank you PartsSelect!

Examined the washer and determined the hoses were fine. Removed the access panel from the back of the washer, pulled out the drain pump. Looking inside the pump while turning the pulley I was able to determine nothing inside the pump was moving. Once the pump was pulled apart (4 screws) it was obvious the wheel inside the pump broke off. We ordered the new part on sunday (from partselect) and it was sitting on my door step wednesday. That's fast. 30 Minutes later everything was hooked back up and we were back in business. One last point: when putting the drive belt back on, put the belt on the 2 small pulleys first, then put it on the large pulley last. Thanks to partselct !

was really easy. I watched the video and was done in less than 10 minutes. I read other stories and pushing the tub over and removing and installing the screws would have been very difficult. Opening the lid was very easy then the screws are right there in front of you.

Just followed the video! 1. Removed the belt. 2. Removed the back (the video said the water pump was in the front, but mine was in the back), 3. Removed the hoses (using bucket and towels to collect the water, 4. Removed the three screws that hold the pump in place, 5. Put in the new pump, 6. Connected the hoses, 7. Reinstalled the belt, and 8. Fretted as the first load of clothes were washed...

unscrewed back cover 3 screws then unscrewed 3 screws holding pump, pulled off belt replaced pump, put screws on, and then belt, then turned on machine no problems, put back plate on and it worked ...great job , I did this with 1 are in a sling so that's why it took 1 hour..

I had some expert advise on what the problem was so that made it easier to consentrate on the fix. I was surprised to find so much information on this web page. Getting the right part ordered was also very easy. The repair instructions given by other people was all correct, tiling the machine to get the belt off, removing the back access panel, was all correct and made it easy. The hard part was getting the machine out of the small wash room and into the garage where I had room to work on it. A good dolly and a wooden ramp came in handy . A word of advice woud be to operate the hot & cold water faucets on & off every year or so to be sure they work easily when the time comes, maybe an emergency. After 12 years I was worried my valves would give me a problem. (.they didnt).
