GHW9400PW0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

This took ten minutes .... super easy .... DO IT YOURSELF!!!! About 75.00 with shipping ... can only imagine this woulkd have been 250 to 300 to have somebody com e onsite.

Made a bad call after googling "bearing squeal for HE 4t" and replaced the bearings and seal on the drum.... Turns out my squeal was coming from the drain pump, didn't realize until after a major tear down and replacement of bearings and seal. Managed to break one of the electrical connectors on the heating element on that repair as well... Compared to the bearing replacement the drain pump was super simple. Lots of good instructions above, the only thing I would add is that if you put a little pressure on the hose clamps and spin them to an easier position to see and get pliers on, they will be much less of a headache. Vice grips were the best tool for getting them released and re-installed. The heating element was pretty easy, loosen the center nut to the end of the threads but don't remove. Use a flat screwdrive to gently pry the unit out. Use a little dish washing soap to lube up the rubber plug on the new one before installing and it slides right in.

Removed 3 screws from back to remove top. Then 1 screw to release the valve from the back. Take off hose spring clamp remove hose, then do it all in reverse oder. It was a snap.

Washed three loads and it was ok but then it stopped draining again. I don't know what to do.

The replacemnt inlet valve was a little shorter than the original. I had to lenghten the slot on the back of the washer to get the mounting screw in the hole to attach the valve. There is only one mounting screw, so this was an important part of the replacement.

Unscrewed the two screws, removed broken peices, place the new handle on, and screwed in the two screws.

Unplug the power first.If you can lean the washer bank and support it with something underneath to make it easier to work on.Removed the 3 bolts at the bottom panel underneath the front door. Pump is right there in front. Unplug the power connection first,you can also remove the wiring that is right in front of the pump so it will be out of the way. remove the pump from it mounting grommets and pull it out a Little so you can get to the hoses at the back of the pump. Using pliers to pull of the hose clamps you can pull off the hoses. Now you can remove the pump out. Do everything in reverse and that's it. I found it to be easier than I thought and took less then 20 mins.

Replace handle

remove screws from washing machine side and put door and hinge on table. Remove screws around outside edge of door. lift up clear part of door and remove old hinge. remove plastic part that covers center of hinge. Install new hinge in reverse. Don't forget to put small plastic cover on center of hinge before putting door back on machine.

It was a little difficult to put the new Bellow in place on the tub, due to the fact you have to basically push the outside of the Bellow all the way into the tub so you can install the tub clamp. The other difficult part of the task was tightening up the clamp it's self. There really isn't a lot of room to move your hand around in the space you are given to work. But after a few hand cramps and a few things said, that are not needing repeated, I was able to get the clamp tight. Once you have the clamp on the tub, it's basically pretty simple to slide everything else into place. The wire/spring clamp that is used to attach the Bellow to the front of the washer is fairly simple to put into place with a little patience. All in all it was a cheep and easy repair for a due-it-your self repair.

I have been asking my husband to please fix the handle, we had been using a screw driver to open it eveytime I used it, which is everyday! So....I searched the web to where I could find this part! Needless to say I should have done that a long time ago! I searched, I found, I purchased, received then INSTALLED myself! My husband was surprised! It was so easy! :)

I replaced the pump thinking this was the most likely cause of the problem. The pump is easy to access and get to. The reviews were helpful. The hose clamps were difficult to get back in place especially the one from the washer drain to the pump (need wide-jaw pliers). Now that I have seen the system work, the pump was not bad and the water from the drain still smells bad. I just ordered the filter 8181683, which looks like the only other thing that would prevent the water from draining completely. The drain hose is not blocked.

our washer is used a lot! a workhorse in our family of seven kids. after all this use for years our handle gave way. this part was easy to find and to fix....two screws that it! I will use this site again for future parts. thanks again

After diagnosing codes noticed no drain replaced pump asm

Looked at how the old drain pump was installed, then removed it and installed the new one. It was a fairly simple fix. The only feedback were that the parts picture was a little confusing becuase the picture didnt really look like the actual part, so we were unsure if we were ordering the correct part.
