AW20N2V Admiral Washer - Instructions

This is a quick and easy repair. Start by using the putty kiife to depress and unlock the washer top. Remove the front panel of the washer by removing the two screws on eithe side at the top. The front panel then lifts off. Next you will want to tilt the unit up and remove the fan belt. Put the washer back down flush and remove the hoses to the drain pump located at the front an right side of the bottom plate. Once the hoses are removed you can remove the three retnetion screws, take the pump out, put the new pump in and fianlly replace the rentention screws and hoses. Put everything back together in reverse order and don't forget the fan belt. Takes all of 15 minutes of your time and you save 150 dollars labor.

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.

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.

Unrolled the old one off. And rolled the new on .by pulling the driver pulley

Tipped washer backwards and removed belt from all three pulleys. Stood washer upright again and removed back panel around pump(4-screws)Removed drain hose from house drain and emptied excess water in the pump into a bucket. Removed the hoses from the drain pump then removed the three bolts holding the pump in place. Removed damaged pump and replaced with new drain pump. Reassembled in reverse order. Once the pump cover was replaced, tipped machine on its back, replaced the belt onto the three pulleys and promptly returned machine to its upright position and ran a test load of laundry! Success! Works great!

Took the back off, located problem, ordered part, removed old part, installed new one, tilled washer to put belt back on. Whole process not bad at all. Working with this site was so very helpful, will keep in in my favorites or future use. Thank You Parts Select!

Removed front and rear covers, replaced drive belt, tub hose and pump. simple operation. Washer still has some leakage not as bad as original leak. Think I have main tub seal problem. Going to check all hose clamps and run again. If the main seal is problem I will be forced to buy new as the parts cost and difficulty of replacement will be the important factors.

it is best to watch the video before doing this reapir. Once you see that the job is straight forward, making sure not to remove all of the spring screws is very important.

Unhook water lines after shutting off water, unplug power cord.Then move washer out into open space for easy access. Used flat tip driver to push in the spring clip to open the top of washer. Flip top up and had wife tilt the washer back. Once bottom is exposed took belt off the motor pulley. Let washer back down. Use the socket wrench to take out two ( front corners ) screws. Tilt front panel back and lift out off the clips . Water pump is front right corner. Use socket wrench to take out the three screws that form a triangle. Lift out the pump. Have something to catch water from pump . Use pliers to remove the two clamps spring from the hoses . Remove both hose from the pump. Then install new pump in the reverse order and close up washer in reverse order and put belt on . Replace washer in it place reinstall water line and lastly the power cord needs tobe pulg in. Now test the washer.

Followed the video

tilted washer about 45 degrees off with old on with new belt.TOO 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.

Watch the videos on it about replacing the snubber ring. Do not remove the whole assembly just loosen enough to get old snubber out and new one in, or you will find it very difficult to get the brake/clutch assembly back together Also I used a 2 x 4 scrap to push and hold the the barrel while removing the six springs. Wear long sleeves as the metal on the washing machine panels will cut you very easily. Belt was just sliding it over the pulley. One other recommendation is take a pictures before and while you are taking it apart for verification of reassembly.

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.
