6430 - Instructions

Unbolt old pump with three bolt from top of pump inside the washer. Use needlenose pliers to remove intake and output hoses from old pump. Remove belt from pulley under washer. Reverse procedure to install. I was worried because there were two pumps listed for this model number, one being $95 and the other being $40. I bought the cheaper one and prayed. It worked just fine. Fixed a $500 washer that was on it's way to the dump and made $100 in the process!

this email does not include the rest of the parts i ordered. i had to replace the pump and the base panel of the washer as it was rotten. i had to open the top, remove the front panel and change out the base and install the pump. your parts and website were very helpful. thank you however this will be the last maytag i will purchase.

Laid washer on its side, released five of the six tub springs, then removed the dive belt and the main pulley. With some effort removing the old snubber ring, placed the new snubber in place. After fighting with the large spring under the pulley I was able to replaced the six screws with the help of an assistant. Replaced the pulley, belt and the five springs. Closed the unit up and placed all the hoses back in place. I was amazed at how smooth the washer functioned with no vibration at all! Thank You.

Turned it over to my 35-year old son who removed pump and pulley assembly and the old drive belt, then simply replaced with new assembly and belt from PartSelect! Could not have been easier - from my viewpoint.

1- Unplug unit 2-disconnect water hoses 3-put unit in open area so you can work on it. 4-Open top cover with screw driver 5-take off front cover with appropriate socket 6-lay unit on it back to get access to the drive belt (take off). And take off water hose with plyers. 7-With vise grips take off the six springs. 8-Take tub assy out,and lay it on the floor upside down. 9-Loosen the screws to take out the old snubber ring, note ( when lossening screws,keep your finger on the bottom of the screw ,so you can feel how far to back the screws out,just enough to have access to the snubber ring,to take out,and install new one. )Remember not to take screws out completely. The unit is under spring tension. 10-Put washer back together in reverse order,and problem solved!

Troubleshoot problem, removed front, removed drive belt, removed pump with pulley. Note, new pump did not have black plate, installed worked great.Thanks

took drum out replase snubber put drum back in

open top,remove back panel.then laid on the side and removed belt.remove hose from tub to pump.removed small hose for fill level.Hard part was to remove springs from tub.Then pull tub and transmission out of housing.Remove pulley from shaft.Lossen screws around snubber ring but do not remove them.Remove old snubber ring.clean surfaces with alcohol.install new snubber ring and assemble in reverse order.

Back of this washer did not remove, so we had to go in through the top--more restricting space. As you remove the old electrical metal contacts (two each of white and red), pay close attention to where they connect properly. Best to mark them so as not to confuse how to place new contacts. Also, we disconnected a white plastic hose on opposite side of top which determines load size and amount of water, so be sure to look for this.

I placed the washer on a couple of work-horses so I could have access to the belt underneath. Then I used my nutdriver to removed the lower back panel. Disconnected both of the hoses, and removed the pump with my nutdrivers. Placed the new pump in place, placed the belt back on the pump's pully, tightened down the pump. I then plugged in the washer and put a little water in the washer to test that everything was working. After confirming that everything worked, I replaced the lower back panel and put the washer back in business. 30 minutes from beginning to end ... and a good time was had by all.

I pulled the top ofthe washer up, I disconnected the cold and hot water hoses, took the 2 bolts off with a socket and pulled the water valve from the top. I used the pliers to take the pressure ring off and pulled over flow hose off. I pulled the four wires off with pliers. Put the new water valve in reverse order...easy.

I first opoen the front panel of the washer. That was a bit tricky. Had to slide a thin blade between the top of the washer and the front panel, pushed in to release the "clamp" and gently raise the top, it hinges on the back.
The rest was undoing three bolts, refit the new pump and put the belt back on.
The part cost me less then $65.00.
The repair estimate by the local repair man was $ 250.00.
I am very happy.

Thank you PartSelect.
