KHWS02RMT1 KitchenAid Washer - Instructions

Removed top of washer and replaced flow meter.

Took the outer ring off with the help of pliers just be careful. Push the bellow into the washer. We cleaned the area good at this time. Put the new bellow in being sure to keep the wrinkles out and securing it in place with the other clamp. Make sure to keep it lined up and wrinkle free to prevent leaks and possible tears later on. You will need the screwdriver to tighten the screws in the inner clamp.

repair was a cake-walk with the video there to help.Thanx

first unplug power cord and disconnect hot and cold water hoses then remove 3 torx screws in back that hold lid on, slide lid back an inch and lift off, one at a time transfer the four spade wire connectors to new part, remove one more torx screw to free valve assembly from back , it slides to one side away from the screw, use pliers to release and move hose clamp back on hose, wiggle hose off old valve and with a little saliva to lube it, slide and wiggle hose on new valve, with pliers release and move hose clamp back in position, slide valve back in position and secure with torx screw, place lid on top and slide forward into position and secure with the three torx screws. reconnect hoses and plug back in.

The drum baffle came off. This website provided a diagram to make ordering the part easy. It was reasonbly priced and came in the mail very fast. I had it installed in my washer within 5 minutes. Excellent experience. Thank you.

Replace old part

Old belt and new belt were not exactly the same. did research and deturminded that the new belt was correct. Reomoved the back panel and rolled the old belt off. Pully is designed to allow changing of the belt without taking the pully off. Put new belt on the motor pully ensuring it was in the groves. started belt on the drum pully and turned it untill it was tight. With an open hand I held the belt on the drum pully so it would not slip off and gave the drum a quick turn to jump the belt onto the pully. rotated the system several turns to make sure everything tracked correctly. Replaced the back panel.

replaced drain pump.Saved 200$

The water inlet vavle was pretty easy to find once I took the top off. The water input hoses connect directly to it and 2 electrical connection per valve. One screw needs to be removed. The only trick is to slide the valve to the left to remove. It is captured by the sheet metal washer housing at the base of the male hose connetion.

The new piece just took seconds to install. You had to set the piece slightly farther back then where it belongs, and with a slight downward pressure, just slide the part toward yourself until you hear it click into place. About 5 seconds and no tools required.

It was easy as soon as I previewed a video on how to repair bellow it was all about unscrewing some screws and removing some parts but was simple steps that anyone can do themselves only thing that gave me very little trouble was putting the spring coil around the bellow needed my husband to help me a little so it wouldn't come out place while stretching the spring to make sure everything was good and secure and ran a test washer to make sure it didn't leak afterward.the baffle was very easy to replace with very little pressure I was able to slide it till I heard a click sound and it was secure did laundry same day and every was wonders very happy I was able to save some money on labor :)

I unplugged the power and tilted the washer back and removed the kick panel. I then unscrewed the pump trap access and set aside. I used the shop vac to remove the remaing water from the washer to the drain pump, unplugged power to the pump, removed the discharge hose and suction hose. After everything was removed, I removed the pump. Everything I read said to take the pump loose before removing everything, it just worked better for me to take everything loose with the pump secure. Going back together I mounted the new pump, plugged it back in (I did not have to remove anything from the plug to use it on the new pump as the insert indicated), installed the discharge hose and the suction hose. I found it easier to rotate the clamp a bit on the sucttion hose to allow me to use my right hand to depress the clamp to get it back in place. Replaced the kick panel, lowered the washer back in place, plugged it in and ran it through a cycle, worked great.

Very limited access to the bellow clamp. Found it easier to first remove washer front panels (8 screws total), providing ready access to R&R the bellow. 40 minutes tops.

removed top cover,disconnected wires to valve,removed valve and hooked up a washer hose to test valve,one side was leaking,valve would not close.replaced with new valve that I received in 2 days,do not buy after market.
