AAV7000AGW Admiral Washer - Instructions

The repair went smoothly with no issues or problems. The video link sent with the receipt made all the difference in the world. I watched the video on my iPad as I was doing the repair. Also locating the parts I needed on the part select website could not have been simpler.

Ordered two new hinge pins as well as hinges. (Did not want to have to deal with it again so chose a full change out.) Watched a U-Tube video that described how to change out the hinges. The trick is find out how to lift the top panel on the washer to access the screws that anchor the hinges. Use a putty knife and slide it into the space between the top panel and the front panel. Got the job done today in an hour or so. Chose to also wipe out the top of the wash tub at the same time so it took a bit longer. Works fine now. Just like new.

Took of lid,took out screws,put on hinge and pins,simple job

Replaced agitator in less than 30 minutes with ratchet and socket. Fast delivery from vendor. We are up and running again!! Very pleased.

The video is really helpful. The clamps on one of the hoses slowed me down. It took some contorting to get the clamps compressed and at the right angle to secure the hose. My lack of patience was probably the culprit. FYI: My failed pump made no grinding sounds. Nor was there any resistance when turning the pulley. But the problem was indeed the pump. Working well now.

view video on how to remove belts, motor and water pump. I follow the instruction given. the video is very helpful, gave me all I needed to do the job myself. thanks tom

The videos included in the shipping notification email made the repair a breeze. The only thing not shown was (at least on my washer) that the screws that needed to be removed had torex heads instead of normal slot or phillips heads. Luckily my tool crib had what I needed.

Disconnected in and out hoses. Unscrewed part, screwed in new, reconnected hoses, installed belt and cover panel. Stood up the machine and tested. Good to go.

Slip wire clamps over tube ends. push hose ends over connections, move clamps over hose end, making sure clamps are centered on connections. Easy as could be.

Lay the washer on it's side and remove the drive belt. Set back upright. Pry top cover up. Use a small flat bar and try not to damage the porceline. Two hex head screws (one on each side by the tub)holds the frone panel on. Remove those. Panel can now be tilted forward and removed. Pump is on right side. remove the two hoses and save the clamps. remove the three hex head screws holding the pump. Install the new pump and reassemble. Pretty easy.

After inspecting the brake and installing the new pulley/bearing kit the washer still would only spin slowly. Discovered that if the washer agitates at all in the spin cycle then the transmission is shot. So washer was replaced with a new one.

Very easy pop-ed up the top from front used my Duroc screw driver removed screw removed lid slid hinge on slid lid back in place attached screw. Make sure you get screw tighten and snug. Job Done!

put a total new transmission total kit on.

Opened back panel. With pliers, moved the retainer clamps. Used a flat screwdriver to pry off hose from tank. procceded to remove hose from pump. Put new hose on and replaced hose clamps. Tested with a small wash cycle, no leaks. Job done.

I was struggling for more than an hour trying to put the E clip on with the thicker washer as recommended then gave it up. I tried again with the thinner washer and still can not get the clip fully seated in place (only one end got into the groove). Frustrated, I decided to tap the other end with flat screw driver and hammer. The clip seems to be deformed but rested in the groove. Checked the brake adjustment and it was on the min mark. I did not dare to remove it for adjustment, and there is no thinner washer to adjust anyway. The washer is still working OK now after 3 loads. Other than that I am really happy with the purchase. Supper fast shipping. Very helpful instruction video. Only I am not really a handy man as my wife often encourages!
