AW26L3WK Admiral Washer - Instructions

My son raised the washer whilee I removed and replace the drive belt. After replacing the drive belt the loud noise when spinning is still there so don't know where the noise is coming from. The clothes after the spend cycle were normal. The video really help figure where the drive belt was located.

Following the other repair examples posted. Replaced Snubber Ring and 6 tension springs. Washer works great again. No more dancing in the hallway.

Determined it was the pump through listening to where the noise came from by taking the back panel off for easy access. The pump is at the back of the unit and was easily accessable. The Motor is on a pivot bracket with springs, so it was easily moved to loosen the belt for removal. After removing the 2 drain hoses with the pliers, the pump came out with 3 screws. Replace the new pump with the reverse procedure. It worked perfectly.

Removed drive belt Removed pump access panel removed 2hose clamps 3 3/8s hex screws removed pump and reinsalled pump and belt

I remove the necessary panels, hoses and electrical section and removed the tub springs and pulled the tub assembly out of the unit and replace the snubber ring. Was really not hard to do and it worked like a charm. No more problems :)

Disconnect AC, turn off water pressure, flip it backwards to remove the drive belt below, open back small panel (4 screws), Use pliers to disconnect hoses from drain pump, and finally remove the 3 bolts, and walah, reverse procedure and tell your spouse what a hero you are.

removed the bottom back, changed the pump/pulley assembly, tilted to change the belt. Easy and fixed our problem.

installed new pump, 10 min. job

Simply followed the instructions on the video provided and the repair was a breeze - quite impressive service!

Removed and placed new one in 15 minutes. Thank You so much for the help

Sure enough, it was the Drain Pump. Replacing the drain pump itself was a piece of cake, even though mine was located at the BACK of the unit, bot the front like the instructional video. The tough (or at least time consuming) process was emptying the washer of all the standing water before the problem could be properly diagnosed and the repair completed. Needless to say, a ShopVac was the solution for the main tub, although there is still a bunch of water left under the main tub, in the hoses and even in the broken Drain Pump. Have lots of towels and a small bucket on hand - and someone to help empty the bucket while you're crouched behind the washer by the wall! :) Other than that, replacing the actual part is easy, and replacing the belt is easier once the new working (rotating) drain pump is in place.

placed washer on front exposing bottom of machine. removed clip holding pulley in place with needle nose pliers. The old parts slid off transmission shaft easily. I set these aside in order of removal. The replacement parts were not exact matches to OEM parts replacement bearing was heavier duty and thicker there were washers in the kit that would not even slid onto transmission shaft,replacement pulley and cam were exact replacements for OEM. I replaced the bearing and thrust washer and then used a combination of new and old washers to build the assembly back to the original length so the retaining clip would hold assembly firmly in place.The instructions key point was that the final height had to bring the pulley back to the original height for a snug fit with retaining clip. Once I realized this the extra parts in the kit were less worrisome.

Just as shown in video on website

follow the video on snubber ring replacement an use 1/2 inch washers keep the tub springs from collapsing then it is very easy to remove them make sure to tilt the tube assembly an un hook start to finish under 1 hour

I did it just like a video was showing. This was really good instructional video.
