20433 - Instructions

I did my troubleshooting on line. I took the water pump off, flushed it out, and used a coat hanger to ensure the hoses were not obstructed. Put the water pump back on and reassembled the washer - still would not drain. Checked the lid switch by listening to hear it click, which it did. So, I assumed it was the water pump, so ordered ... Read more one. Two days later my son-in-law said he experienced the same problem, but it was the lid switch. I decided to check the switch again, this time using my hand to see if it was securely fastened. As soon as I grabed the switch, it sprung apart. I removed it and followed the instructions on how to hot wire the connection for a by pass, and the washer drained. Needless to say I ordered a lid switch assembly. Now I have a new water pump as a backup :) Lesson learned. Opinion: the lid switch assembly is very cheaply made.

It was really simple. All I had to do was take the outside body off of the washer & undo the clamps & take the old water pump off & put the new one on & put the clamps back on & put the body back on. It was easy & a whole lot cheaper than buying a new washer. Thanks for being there.

First I located the leak and removed what was lated identified as the water pump. The pump was secured to a motor by two clamps. Attachted to the water pump were two water hoses. I removed the water pump, took it inside my and started my search for the part on the web. I located your site, followed the site instructions and found the part ... Read more I needed. For the record, I have never attempted to repair anything in my life. Your site help me save over $300.

Got the part in two days! After watching the installation video, i figured i could take the pump off without removing the complete washer panel. Tipped washer on to back and there was the old pump staring at me. Disconnected the two hose clamps with pliers (easy). Hardest part was removing old pump due to crud and rust. Removed pump clamp ... Read more s and forced it off with end of screwdriver alternating both sides. This is why the video shows panel removal. Would have been much easier i think! I used fine sandpaper to get the shaft cleaned up and put a few drops of liquid hand soap into opening of new pump. Lined up the pumped with shaft and it slid right on. Reattached hoses and pump clamps and done!! NO more leak!! Really easy repair - about 15 minutes total.

unclipped old pump, removed hoses then reverse to replace pump

As a 50+ currently umemployed woman would always pass repairs off to her husband, this was a great repair to grow my confidence. I did refer to the web site that offered insights which helped greatly. Once I got the cover off and the hoses detached I was stuck with getting the actual pump off the motor. I read on line that if it's olde ... Read more r you'll have to use some muscle (guess I should be working out more!) to pull it off. It was incredibly stuck and my word of advice to others is make such that the motor rod, that the pump "slips" onto is CLEAN and smooth. I thought I had it clean enough only to get the new pump stuck while only half way on!!!! Spend the time to get all the rust off and the new piece will slip on with a some pushing and prodding!

Tipped washer for access to pump. Disconnect hoses. Snap spring clips off of pump. Remove pump from motor shaft. Scotch-Brite shaft, push new pump onto shaft. Reconnect hoses. And your done

It was really easy.I tilted washer and removed the clamps holding on the drain hoses and clips holding the water pump and reinstalled the new one.

tilted washer back, changed from underneath

It was as simple as undoing 2 clamps and removing 2 hoses then just perform that in reverse to put the part back on. And in 10 mins i was using the washing machine.

Removed the two clips holding the pump to the motor, Lift pump off motor and twist pump to allow easy access to hose clamps. Slide clamps off of pump housing, remove hoses and reverse the process just described.

I received the water pump. (really quick by the way)
I propped the front of the washer up, removed the old pump and installed the new pump. Ran and test. Piece of cake. I wish I had a better story. Sorry.

It only took using common sense.

I am more than happy to relate this...my 15 month old Whirlpool washer was having a slow leak. Initially, I did not suspect it was the water pump because the appliance was fairly new. When I flipped the washer over, I saw clearly it was comming from the water pump. This pump comes right off after you snap off two clips and loosen two hose ... Read more clamps. Takes all of 2 minutes! I took the part off and looked for a part number. Then I punched in the part number on my internet and low and behold parts select was one of the links that came up. I just cliqued my way through the order and FEDEXed the part. It came the NEXT BUSINESS DAY! I had it snapped back on and that took another 2 minutes. Don't pay anyone to do this, it's a shame...it's sooooo easy and Partsselect will ship you the part next day. This repair cost me 67 dollars (34 for the part and shipping). Could have easily been 150.00 by a repair man. EASY JOB...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

This is the same part that is on many Maytag washers. I cannot believe it leaked so soon. I spent 45 minutes or better on the phone with Maytag/Roper. Went through at least 5 people (as I was disconnected once), transfered to someone else mid sentence because I bought it at Lowes. I mean as soon as I said Lowes it was like, beep done. ... Read more Oh and by the way after all that they still could not find the part I was looking for let alone give me a price. I was looking on the internet while on the phone and found this place. The prints/drawings are awesome and my part came in about 3 days standard shipping. I have book marked this site and will go nowhere else. The repair took about 5 minutes, poped off the old part and on with the new. I only used pliers to disconnect the water so I could move the washer out.
