MHWZ600TW01 Maytag Washer - Instructions

removed retaining ring on front gasket, pulled gasket back, took out door lock latch, unhooked wires, then reversed method to replace.

First, I looked at a replace bellows video on U-Tube that saved a lot of time in knowing how to proceed. You really need nutdrivers as sockets won't fit on the screws. Fitting the bellows on the large drum is not as simple as it appeared in the movie. It took several attempts to get it in place, but it was simple to place the clamp after it was there. Other than that, just follow the steps in the movie for your model

First I removed the bottom panels then the door then the top then the front control panel, I had to go to different web site to get directions on how to do this, after you remove screws you have to unplug U18 from electrical control box. Then remove bumper, find wire around front of bumper and remove using needle nose pliers, then remove back of bumper from tub using phillips head screwdriver. Then with help we replaced with bumper. and put the machine back together. My complaint is there were NO instructions in the box with the bumper and the ones on your web page are not detailed enough. I had to search the web "how to remove maytag door bumper" before I found how to remove it.

Unplug Unit, remove lower cover screws with screwdriver that has 1/4 drive at end, put 2 gallon bucket at strainer remove water. Remove inlet hose clamp and outlet hose clamp, disconnect pump motor wiring plug, aggressive push to RIGHT popped right out. put a dab of Vaseline on new units rubber base slide back in reverse order. Plugged in check for leaks put back together, Repair took less than 15 minutes, working great! WHAT I FOUND IN STRAINER: LEGO'S-CHANGE-PAPER CLIPS, enough things to destroy the impeller !

Received water valve in three days, remove top on washer, removed old part and replaced valve with new one, real easy fix, any one could do this. PartSelect confirmed this was the problem and part I needed.

I had to replace the bellow to the washer because I discovered the leak was from the door and bellow area, only problem I really had..... was installing the bellow on the outer drum, I applied a coat of hand soap to make it easier to secure in place.

dryer stacked on top of washer. had to lift washer and block w/2 x 4 to get under unit and replace pump

First unplug the washer and take the back cover off. Loosen the screw on the motor and the big nut on the belt wheel. Take the old belt off and put the new belt on around the motor but slip the motor back in place with the screw slightly in place but do not tighten it yet. Place the belt around the motor and the wheel but this is hard because you need some one with some strength so the is where my dear boyfriend came in handy. He used his strength to stretch the belt and put it back on the machine so I could put the big nut back on. But if you break a wire you have to know a little electrical to put back the wires back in place with small connectors. I do know electrical also. My machine is working better like new. Carol Rozier

Took less than 5 minutes to replace, So Happy;-)

Followed instructions from a You Tube video. I'd recently lost my job and money is tight and I thought we could save money doing it myself. By watching the video and ordering parts from you we were able to save $500 between parts and labor. Thanks

the hardest part of the repair is having the confidence to pull all the screws and remove door etc. Dish soap was a good trick when I needed the last bit of the bellow to pop/stretch into place in step 1 of attaching the bellow.

I watched the youtube video, then ordered the part from partselect. I then took my ipad out to the garage where I placed my washing machine and completed the removal of the old seal and installed the new one with ease. Be patient when you try and fit the new seal over the lip on the machines doorway. That was the only hard part. Once I got it started, the rest was easy. I am very happy the video was available and even easier to follow the link to order the part. Thanks! Presslerc

First unplug the washer. Make sure and drain washer completely. If not drained remove front panel , Remove 2.5 inch Plastic drain cover which has a catch bin on it. This will allow it to drain the washer. Put pan underneath to catch the water. Tip washer back and prop up with something 6 inches tall to get to the screws underneath. A cement block would work well. Use pliers to squeeze hose clamp together to remove the Hoses. Gently lift up The flip down cover Over the top of the wire harness Push in the tab on the wire harness, Gently pull back on the wire harness. Remove two mountings screws from the bottom of the washer. Slide the whole pump housing to the right and Lift up. Now the pump is been removed. Inspect inside the hoses For Debrie. Remove anything that is left in the hoses. Reinstall the pump in reverse order from the way you took it off. Leave front panel off Make sure all hoses and wire harness are hooked up. Run wash cycle to make sure there are no leaks. Do not put hands in while running. If no leaks replace front panel. Not sure if this is the right way But this is the way we did it and it worked well. Washer runs quieter now than it did when we got it

other than needing a new type of screw driver (not philips or flat head, but rather a starfish looking thing), the replacement was simple. took 5 minutes (after finding the correct driver)

I was already very familiar with the motor & drain pump, as I had disassembled my original one in attempt to find the problem & fix it. Finally, I broke down & purchased a new one. It was VERY easy to install! The most difficulty was finding the right sized board to put underneath & raise the machine up (with the dryer attached to the top of it) to place the board underneath so that I could tighten the bolts from underneath to attach the pump. After that was over, the rest was cake! Just attach the hoses & the electrical, which just clips in place & my washer is like new again! Yay! Oh, and yes, I'm a woman DIY'er.
