Flip washer on its back, Undo/flip the clips/clamps off the water pump, remove the clamps from the hose and remove hoses from water pump, slide the pump off the direct drive, line up the shaft/drive with the new water pump and slide into position and return the clamps to secure water pump in place and reattach water hoses and clamp to the water pump. There should be two hoses going to the water pump, flip washer back upright and run a cycle to make sure the problem has been fixed

I disconnected the washer from the water supply lines.turned the washer on it's back. took two hoses off the water pump.Unsnapped two spring clip's.Took the old pump off and installed the new pump.That is all there was to it.

Isolated problem to front section of washer by elevating and adding water. Once I identified the pump as leaking (it was pretty obvious:>)I used a screwdriver to release the snaps that hold the pump to the drive motor. After sliding the pump off of the drive motor I used the pliers I release the clamps on the two hoses. Next I logged on to Partselest.com and ordered a replacement. The item arrived in two days. I placed the pump on the motor first then connected the hoses. It was much easier to slide the hose clamps to the proper position with the pump held secure on the motor.

I Removed hose clamps and 2 pump clamps. I took the old pump(had a small hole burned in it) off and replaced it with the new pump. I replaced the 2 pump clamps and the hose clamps and it was ready to go.

First, I laid the washer upon its back and removed the two clamps that held the water pump in place.
with wire pliers.
Next I removed the two inlet water hoses from the pump and sat that pump aside. I then placed the new water pump upon the shaft of the washer and secured the two water inlet hoses back on the new pump wth the clamps. I tightened them with the wire pliers slipping the clamp upon the hoses. Lastly , I snapped the two wire clamps that hold the pump in place back in their groves and immediately placed the washer up right .

1) Disassembled the lid
2) Took the front Panel off (the old water pump was in the bottom left hand corner in plain site).
3) Used flat head screw driver to gentle pry the top and bottom water pump fasterners.
4) Used pliers to remove top hose camp. Note this is where I discovered why everyone says to put the washer on it back. Water came rushing out. Luckily no damage to the motor.
5) Used pliers to remove the bottom hose clamp.
6) Put everything back together Total time <30 minutes.

Unfortunately, the water is still not completely draining. I am now looking at the hoses for obstructions. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I unplugged the washer, put a towel down, leaned it back and held it up with one hand while undoing the clamps with plyers. Pulled the two clamps off, pulled the pump, put the new pump on, reattached the clamps. Most of this with one hand while the other held the washer at an angle.

I press using the plier the spring retainer to removed the two hose from the defective pump.
I used screw driver to removed the two retainer.I pulled the pump away from the shaft of the motor. Replaced with new pump, align to the motor shaft and return back the two retainer. It is easy and its good to have my parts right on time.

Removed the four screws from the control housing. Disconnect wire to machine housing. Remove the two clips connecting the machine housing to the back. Remove washing machine housing. Pump is located right in front. Disconnect hoses, remove and replace pump, reconnect hoses. Replace the machine housing. This was the hardest part if all trying to reinstall the housing.Once you get the machine housing in place correctly, put everything back together. You just saved about $125 in fifteen minutes.

very well the part was easy to install and the part was easy to find on the diagram furnished by parts select

After unplugging power and disconnecting water drain hose, I pulled the washer out aprox four feet from the wall and leaned it back against the wall. I then used a lamp at the end of an ext cord to light up below the washer where the water pump was attached and it was easy to remove and replace! I carefully replaced the washer in its original location and reconnected power and drain hose. The job was complete in 15 minutes! Wow!

I pulled out the washer, laid it on it's back, pulled off the two hoses using pliers for the clamps, pulled back two clips, pulled off the pump from the shaft, put the new pump on the shaft, and did the reverse of the above. It was a simple operation and made even more satisfying by the prompt delivery of the part, within 2 days. Thank you for that, and I will use your services in the future if needed.

My friend unplugged washer turned off water to it, tilted machine back took off old, put on new. It took him about 5 minutes. Washer is working fine now, no more water leaks!

the hard part was getting the pump off of the rusted centerpeice. i actually had to grab the pump with both hands, put my feet on the rotator and PULL. finally it basically snapped off and rusted peices went flying. after cleaning it the new pump went on rather easily, with the help of a rubber mallet.

I propped the unit on its side, then I removed the intake and discharge hose with pliers (remember to have a bucket handy for the extra water in the hoses.)
Secondly, there are two clips on the top and bottom of the pump which hold the unit snug against the motor. These simply pop off with your hand or a screwdriver (be careful to save these!) Now the pump should slide off the drive shaft easily but most likely it will not due rusting of the shaft. A pry bar or large screwdriver and some elbow grease will get the pump to slide off.
Installation is the reverse except you will have to sand off the rust on the shaft. Sand paper will do but I used a Dremel type grinder (die grinder) which made easy work of removing the rust. Finally, sliding the new pump in is remarkably easy.
Installation of the new pump should take less than 10 minutes with a clean driveshaft.
