AW20N2V Admiral Washer - Instructions

I followed your advice for the part and watched a you tube video and it fixed the problem completely. . . . I am very happy and will relay this to all my friends. Take the time to check thoroughly what you are doing since the first video didnt tell me that there was a high pressure spring under the ring that held the snubber but I discovered this by watching the video and it all worked very well. Thank you-you saved me $700. 00.

It was very easy. Through the access panel in the back, remove both hoses, take out three screws with 3/8ths socket, remove pump being mindful of the belt and pulley, re-set the pump with belt in place, put the three screws back in, re-connect the hoses, and done ! 10-15 minute job at the most. There will be some residual water in the pump when removed.

I thought the noise was the thrust bearing. Replaced it but didn't fix. Washer worked but hstill had terrible noise. Went shopping for new washer - then pump locked up. I siphoned out the water (good idea) and folled ditections I found on this site. 1. pryed up top with screwdriver. Raised lid. 2. Removed the 2 front panel screws with a nutdriver. 3.Removed hose clamps from pump with pliers. 4. Removed 3 screws holding pump. 5.Replaced pump in reverse order. 6. Crossed fingers - it works fine - saved $800.00

Exactly like the video told me to! Seriously, I watched once when I ordered the parts, watched it again just before I started the job, and played each step as I completed that step. It simply could not have been easier. Without the video, I doubt I could have located and released the latches on the top of the washer, but seeing not only where he put the knife but the motion he used to spring them made that step so much easier than I thought it would be. With your help, I only paid a quarter of what the repairman wanted to make this simple fix -- Thank you!

new water pump

Removed old pump, disconnected hoses and drained water. Put hoses on new pump and reinstalled.

Removed back inspection cover which was two screws,the pump with pully was right there. Removed the belt and three screws from the pully and pulled it out. Put new pully in tightened the three screws put the belt back on and the inspection cover plugged the machine back in turned it on and it ran perfect.

I followed the instructions on your video - it was very helpful! I would have never figured out how to take the top off without the video instructions. I released the top latches using the putty knife, removed the broken lid hinge & pin and installed the new ones.

Took off the lid unscrewed 4 screws and replaced with new parts. Very simple.

Repair went as described in instructions supplied and YouTube Video "snubber ring". I could not have removed tub springs without putting 72 quarters in springs before removing as seen in another repair video which made removal and reinstallation doable. I still don't understand how this inexpensive part can cause such a problem.

Well my husband took apart our washer and found the belt had tangled up in the pulley and basically been shredded. The pulley was falling apart in pieces from the strain on it too. We looked everywhere and were shocked that everybody wanted to sell us the pulley PLUS the motor for over 150$! We were so glad to find the parts we needed here and such a better price! The repair was easy, just followed the instructions on this site and were back to doing laundry within an hour of getting our parts in the mail!

There was a crack in the black rubber hose attached to the water inlet flume assembly, and the assembly itself was cracked and falling apart. 1) Turned off water. 2) Lifted top cover up (pry up with flat screwdriver). 3) Disconnected hose. 4) Trimmed hose above the crack. 5) Replaced "spring" -type hose clamp with small automotive-style clamp. 6) Unbolted flume from under lid (2 sheetmetal screws). 7) Reattached hose to new flume. 8) Reattached flume to underside of lid. 9) Closed lid (light pressure downward required). 10) Turned on water. Total repair time: 10 minutes.

After reading several online posts about this problem on appliance forums and following the suggestions about how to determine what was needed (whether the inner tub turned freely (by hand) in spin mode or not. It didn't which apparently indicates the likely need for a new thrust bearing. I purchased the transmission pulley and bearing kit from Parts Select. I got it the next day, without asking for next day delivery! When I took the old parts off (easy: pull off the plastic cover, remove the circlip and everything falls off the shaft (if you are working with the washer just tipped up. Unfortunately, that was where my easy repair ended. The parts were entirely different! After looking and looking and thinking, I called Parts Select. They informed me that Whirpool, who makes Maytag had redesigned the parts. They didn't look like they would work, but I followed the directions which came with the kit and installed the new parts - three times. The last time the pulley stayed on and the washer spun as it ought. The problem was that even with the smaller of the spacer washers the circlip was extremely difficult to get in its slot. Anyway, now the washer works and I am pleased, even though I spent many hours on what ought to have taken perhaps 1/2 hour.
