W205KGV Magic Chef Washer - Instructions

The repair went smoothly with no issues or problems. The video link sent with the receipt made all the difference in the world. I watched the video on my iPad as I was doing the repair. Also locating the parts I needed on the part select website could not have been simpler.

Ordered two new hinge pins as well as hinges. (Did not want to have to deal with it again so chose a full change out.) Watched a U-Tube video that described how to change out the hinges. The trick is find out how to lift the top panel on the washer to access the screws that anchor the hinges. Use a putty knife and slide it into the space between the top panel and the front panel. Got the job done today in an hour or so. Chose to also wipe out the top of the wash tub at the same time so it took a bit longer. Works fine now. Just like new.

Took of lid,took out screws,put on hinge and pins,simple job

This is a quick and easy repair. Start by using the putty kiife to depress and unlock the washer top. Remove the front panel of the washer by removing the two screws on eithe side at the top. The front panel then lifts off. Next you will want to tilt the unit up and remove the fan belt. Put the washer back down flush and remove the hoses to the drain pump located at the front an right side of the bottom plate. Once the hoses are removed you can remove the three retnetion screws, take the pump out, put the new pump in and fianlly replace the rentention screws and hoses. Put everything back together in reverse order and don't forget the fan belt. Takes all of 15 minutes of your time and you save 150 dollars labor.

The videos included in the shipping notification email made the repair a breeze. The only thing not shown was (at least on my washer) that the screws that needed to be removed had torex heads instead of normal slot or phillips heads. Luckily my tool crib had what I needed.

Slip wire clamps over tube ends. push hose ends over connections, move clamps over hose end, making sure clamps are centered on connections. Easy as could be.

Tipped washer backwards and removed belt from all three pulleys. Stood washer upright again and removed back panel around pump(4-screws)Removed drain hose from house drain and emptied excess water in the pump into a bucket. Removed the hoses from the drain pump then removed the three bolts holding the pump in place. Removed damaged pump and replaced with new drain pump. Reassembled in reverse order. Once the pump cover was replaced, tipped machine on its back, replaced the belt onto the three pulleys and promptly returned machine to its upright position and ran a test load of laundry! Success! Works great!

Took the back off, located problem, ordered part, removed old part, installed new one, tilled washer to put belt back on. Whole process not bad at all. Working with this site was so very helpful, will keep in in my favorites or future use. Thank You Parts Select!

After inspecting the brake and installing the new pulley/bearing kit the washer still would only spin slowly. Discovered that if the washer agitates at all in the spin cycle then the transmission is shot. So washer was replaced with a new one.

Opened back panel. With pliers, moved the retainer clamps. Used a flat screwdriver to pry off hose from tank. procceded to remove hose from pump. Put new hose on and replaced hose clamps. Tested with a small wash cycle, no leaks. Job done.

I was struggling for more than an hour trying to put the E clip on with the thicker washer as recommended then gave it up. I tried again with the thinner washer and still can not get the clip fully seated in place (only one end got into the groove). Frustrated, I decided to tap the other end with flat screw driver and hammer. The clip seems to be deformed but rested in the groove. Checked the brake adjustment and it was on the min mark. I did not dare to remove it for adjustment, and there is no thinner washer to adjust anyway. The washer is still working OK now after 3 loads. Other than that I am really happy with the purchase. Supper fast shipping. Very helpful instruction video. Only I am not really a handy man as my wife often encourages!
