CAV2004AJW Magic Chef Washer - Instructions

Removed screw, replaced hinge.

Replaced the hose. two clamps and retainers. very basic repair

I changed the piece easily

Remove back compartment, remove belt disconnect two water rubber tubes from the drain pump, unscrew three screws securing the drain pump from the frame. Replace with a new drain pump, secure to frame with thee screws, reconnect rubber tubes, and replace belt.

I used the putty knife to release the spring clips on the machine lid. They are about 3" in from the side of the machine. Then I lifted the top of the washer up holding the lid in place. I then used a screw driver (torx) to remove the hinge from the bottom of the washer top. The lid should come right off. Then I the removed the broken hinge pins from the back of the lid with a screwdriver and replaced with the new parts. There is a little tab that the pin fits in the lid to assure you have the pin installed correctly. Then I slid the hinge back on the pin and reversed the process reinstalling the hinges and closing the top of the machine over the spring clips and your done. Very easy repair that I completed in less than 15 minutes.

Took off back cover an belt replaced part

There is a small back panel about 14" square made to open for access to the drain pump. 3 screws for the back panel and 3 screws for the pump - Oh you do have to slip the belt off & back on, underneath the machine.

Easy repair - with the use of a phillips screwdriver, simply remove the old device and replace with the new

I watched the video of the repair on this website and followed it. Was really easy & THANK GOD because this was my first repair. This has been a great machine and it looks like it will continue to be for a little while longer! Thanks for the video help and friendly navigation of your site!

The existing plastic valve is different in size and shape from the replacement part. The existing plastic valve is mounted to a metal mounting braket with bunch of screws. New replacement part has no mounting braket and can't be mounted to the old mounting braket. The old mounting bracket had 2 screws which are used to mount it to the washing machine body. The new valve has only 1 mounting hole which correspondes to a different mounting hole on the body of the washing machine. The new braket is designed to mount directly to the body of the machine. I removed one of the many screws on the old valve /mount braket and used it to mount the new valve directly to the body of the machine.

First I got everything I needed, unplugged the washer. Using the puddy knife I freed the top of the washer by inserting the knife about four inches from each side on front. The machine is in a place where it can not be pulled out far, hence the two by fours. Remove the loose cover, reach in with the stubby and unscrew the screw on both sides. Take the broken cover pins off the cover and install the new ones, put the other hinges in the cover, put the hole cover in place and install the one screw perside, remove wood and close the hole top, your in business , no drinking

I first changed the belt which helped but it still sounded like it was going to take off through the roof.....I did the pulley and bearing kit in hopes that it would do some good....it went really smoothly with no issues however it did not solve the problem....so it is working and I am going to just ride it out until it quits....thanks

Followed the great instructions on your video

Disconnected hoses. Raised top of washer. Remove outlet hose. Remove 1 screw and lift valve to top of washer. Switch wires to exact same spot on new valve and reverse process.

Rolled the old one off and rolled the new one on.
