20487 - Instructions

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.

tilted washer back, changed from underneath

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 older 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!

unclipped old pump, removed hoses then reverse to replace pump

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.

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 I needed. For the record, I have never attempted to repair anything in my life. Your site help me save over $300.

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.

First I had to have my wife help me tip the washing machine over so we can get at the pump which we suspected was leaking.

We searched partselect.com and found the part and ordered it and it arrived after a few days.

At first the part won't fit because the metal rod that was supposed to rotate the pump was badly rusted. So we had to buy a file set ($9.95) from Home Depot to file the rust away so that the part will fit.

Filing took a long time to do and was very tedious but after the metal rod was filed away, the pump fit and that's all it took.

There were actually only 2 clamps you have to remove. One at the back and one out front that holds the pump in place. After removing those clamps then it was easy to attach the new pump (after filing the metal rod).

Thanks partselect.com :-)

The repair was easy. Disconnected the water and drain lines. Tipped the washer on its back and used pliers to remove the clamps holding the drain lines. The pump was replaced and reattached to the drain lines.

After 3 years of hard daily use, the small feet that hold the Bleach dispenser in place broke off. The new dispenser was easy to snap into place and now the washer is good as new.

firts i tilt machine over removed water hoses and released water pump lock clips and pulled out. to replaced its reverse process

I removed the washing machine away from the wall. Put a pillow on the floor and set the machine on its back. I removed the clamps that hold the hose with the pliers and then pump came right off. Replaced with the new one and thats all. I spend exactly 2 minutes doing this fix. My wife still thinks I am a heroe :)

Easiest fix I ever done!!!

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.

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.

I pulled washing machine away from the wall . Unplugged unit. Turned off water and disconnected hot and cold water line. Laid washing machine on its side. Disconnected inlet and outlet lines from pump using a pair of pliers to squeeze hose clamps to enable removal of hoses. FLASHLIGHT is needed to view area. Pop off spring clips with a small screw driver. It's a little difficult getting hand back to remove back spring clip. Water pump has fitted stand offs that let the pump be installed and removed very easily and also enables proper installation orientation. Make sure you have a pair of gloves on to avoid sheet metal cuts during removal and installation.
