Note that the pump casing is not included. This medium-difficulty repair may vary, but can generally be started by disconnecting power, then removing the top of the washer by taking out the four back screws and two small brackets. Then, remove the front panel by taking out the two screws and eight tabs that should be taken from the top. Moving down the front of the washer, remove the door, latch, tub gasket, and drain cover. Disconnect the drain hoses and clip from under the drain assembly, and install new assembly from there.

Despite the number of steps, you will only need a standard Phillips screwdriver to complete this repair.

Johnny - For model number 79640272900
January 22, 2023
When I turn the washer on and start the cycle it makes a loud whining noise as tub begins to turns. It then shuts down and displays LE on the screen. What could be causing this problem?
Hello Johnny, Thank you for your inquiry. The LE error code means that the motor in your washing machine is locked. This can be caused by an overloaded washer, try a smaller load and see if you still get the error, or it could be cause by debris stuck between the drum and tub. It could be also be caused by an issue with rotor or rotor position sensor. Check the magnets inside the rotor to see if they are stripped or missing, and check the sensor inside of the rotor assembly for any visible damage or loose connections. Good luck with your repair.
Makes loud squeaky sound during agitation cycle, no noise in the early cycle
Or the spin cycle. Thought it was the belt but apparently there is no belt.
Hi Frank, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding of the issue, you need to check the rear tub bearing, part number PS11711138. We hope this solves your problem!
Hello Barry, thank you for your inquiry! Our research indicates that the issue is probably with the Door Lock Assembly, part number PS3533609. If that is not the problem or if you have already fixed that, then the problem would be related to the Noise Filter Assembly, part number PS3528920. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of assistance!
My washer is taking much longer than normal to do a batch of laundry.
Hello Beth, thank you for contacting us. Your washer uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A failing heating element slows down warm or hot cycles because scale buildup or an electrical short prevents efficient heating, causing prolonged cycles. You may need to replace it. The part number is PS3532212. We hope this solves your problem!
Hello Rory, thank you for your question. Please ensure that the washer is getting water uninterruptedly and the water inlet valve is good. Given that the water supply is continuous, the most probable cause is a faulty door lock switch, part number PS3533609. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating and the washer may stop mid-cycle. We look forward to hearing from you if you need assistance with placing an order through our 7-days-a-week customer service. We hope this helps!

I first tested the motor per the service manual. I checked the resistance between the terminals of the 3 pin connector. It's supposed to be 5-15 ohms. The motor checked out so I replaced the main electrical board. It turns out that wasn't the problem. After a brief web search I found out that the hall sensor (which is attached to the
... Read more motor stator) was the likely cause of the failure. I replaced that and everything works great now. And now I have a spare main board in case that ever fails. I also want to mention that I took the time to remove the dispenser box (where the water comes in and is directed to the different cleaning products) and cleaned it with a very strong bleach solution. It got rid of the mildew and funky smell. It seems that the fabric softener caused a lot of mildew to form inside the dispenser directly above the fabric softener tray. The bleach took care of that. This is probably something that should be done routinely to keep the mildew from forming.
