VWSR4160G1WW Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

My washer was full of water after it wouldn't drain as part of the wash cycle. I used a Wet/Dry vacuum to remove the water from the tub. Followed the video provided on this part page. When I pulled the hose from the wash tub to the pump at least a gallon of water that I was in the bottom of the tub and hose rushed into the base of the washer. It was an unexpected mess to clean up a the end of the job. Pump was fairly easy to remove from the washer, but reinstalling the hoses to the pump was slightly more challenging. The hose from the tub to the pump is about an inch too short to make this an easy fit. I had to have my wife hold the hose clamp open with the channel locks while I positioned pump onto the hose. After the hose was installed, the second hose was much easier to install. With the new pump the washer running like a champ!

took off the front and replaced easily. I tested it and it worked! The trick to remove front panel is use 2 screwdrivers, one on side, one in front even to lid edge.

The repair was an easy fix. Since the washing machine was already away from the wall, all we had to do was push(in a screwing motion) the hose in the back of the washer. It sealed right up and we were doing laundry 15min later.

replaced drain hose and the water leak stopped. i could not see a hole in the old drain hose and thought i needed a new clothes washer but since a new drain hose was under $20. including shipping I figured it would not hurt to replace the old drain hose first. There must have been a microscopic split in the plastic drain hose because now it does not leak a drop. it was easy to replace and only took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Thanks.

popped the front off and unscrewed the top to get to the water inlet. With plyers twisted the wire tie that holds the hose in place and unscrewed the tiny screws off to get the inlet off. then replace it with my new Hose & Water Inlet.

Replace with new hose.

I looked up what others said about the same problem. Took their advice, ordered the pump and it was installed in less than 30 minutes. This is the third time that we have ordered parts and have had excellent service. We usually get the parts the next day or at most two days. Instructions to repair are exactly like the customers say on the website. I tell all my friends and relatives about your site.Thanks PartSelect!

The part came after 2 days..terrrific.. upon receipt, i attached the new one to the back of the washer and screwed. it all took about 5mins. My washer is back in business. I am very happy abouit it.
thank u.

"Thought" the belt was the problem - ordered new belt - waited for belt to arrive - opened washer. Belt was in perfect condition - problem is the clutch. Next time husband will verify problem before ordering parts.

I took the two screws out that was holding the bracket and hose in place. I then pulled the hose out and then had a little bit of a hard time taking off the bracket (it was plastic and felt if I bent it to hard it would break) wiggling it down to the end of the hose. Re inserted the hose attached bracket, and I was done.
It would have cost me a lot more then $20.00 to have a repair man come in and fix it.
Love the service, delivered in two days.
Will use them again.

Pulled off front cover of machine. Unplugged unit. Used a channel lock (water pump pliers) to squeeze the hose clamp on the suction hose. Pulled hose off of pump suction. Did same for discharge hose. Some standing water came out onto floor of unit. Unscrewed 2 screws from base using nut driver. Pulled the 2 wires off of the stabs of pump. Re-installed new pump in reverse order. Unit back on line in 15 minutes, and works fine.

First i removed the bottom of washer and removed clamps from two hoses connected to the pump , removed 2 pump bolts along with wire connector. Then reinstalled new pump, hoses and wiring and that was it. Very easy !

The staff at parts Select are one of a kind, my order came before expected. Thanks Parts Select

DISCONNECT POWER----1.- No pump sound when energized but I know it energized as the coil became a magnet. 2.- You need a drain pan to catch the water from the lower tub when the drain hose is disconnected from the pump. 3.- Water pump or channel lock pliers needed to remove the spring clamps on inlet and outlet from pump. 4.- Remove the 2 hold down bolts and the plug in power connection and the pump comes out very easily. 5.- On my pump I found a plastic tie wrap lodged in the pump impeller vanes-- this caused the pump either not to work at all or cause a cavitation effect caused the water in the tub not to drain completely. 6.- Since I had already purchased the new pump I installed the new pump and cleaned the old one to keep as a spare-- probably never going to need it though.7.- On the large diameter drain hose ( pump inlet ) I decided to use a auto hose clamp instead of the original spring clamp because the area to work on this pump is very cramped and getting the original spring clamp back on was very difficult. The hose clamp made it very easy and the seal was just fine. 8.- The new pump functions perfectly- PARTS SELECT delivered a quality OEM product and I am extremely satisfied with their normal delivery which was 2 days because the warehouse was only 150 miles from me.
