CW4202W2 Washer - Instructions

Part received was correct (5 days ARO). Removed motor assy from unit (left wires connected). Found drive belt was also worn out & obtained a new one locally. Seperated old pump from rusted motor shaft using 2 screwdrivers. Had to use a file to lightly "polish" rust off motor shaft to install new pump. On-line parts diagram helpful in getting belt properly alinged to idler pully. Machine now runs smoothly, dosn't leak and sound like new. Wife happy (me too)!

This job was extremely simple. First I unplugged the washer and disconnected the water supply lines. Then I removed the top of the washer control panel (2 hex screws) and then the back side of the control panel (3 Phillips screws). The front of the control panel then pivots forward towards the washer lid, giving easy access to the timer assembly. Unfastened old timer assembly (2 hex screws). Unscrewed timer knob on the front of the control panel, and pried off the plastic disc beneath that knob, thus freeing the timer knob post so I could pull it through the front panel for removal. Last I simply unplugged the jumble of wires that go into the timer, since they all conveniently come together in one plug. Reversed all of these steps to install the new timer assembly. Total time: about 45 min.

Very easy repair. Removed the lower front panel of the washing machine (two screws) with nutdriver.

Removed hose clamp with pliers. Removed hose from machine. Replaced hose and ran thru a full cycle to check for leaks.

No leaks, back in business in under an hour. This time includes going out to garage and gather the two tools needed for the job and cleaning up the water that came out of the hose during the removal process.

removed all old parts, put in new, saved a bundle

Un plug machine. Turn off hot & cold water. Remove the front panel by removing the 2 screws at the botton & lift front from the bottom until it unhinges from the top. Tilt the washer back far enough to put a contaner to catch the water left in the hoses. Loosing the hose clamps so the water comes out slowly. If you remove the hose to fast your container won't catch the water. Do one hose at a time. Next disconnect the wiring harnes from the motor. Remove the 4 screws holding the pump/motor. Disconnect the belt from the washer. You will have to tilt the pump/motor to get slack in the belt. Remove the pump/motor & the belt will come with it. This is when I found that the belt was toast & I had to order a belt. Paid shipping twice. once for pump & once for belt. Seperate pump from motor by removing 3 screws. My pump came right off. Reverse the operation to install. REMEMBER TO PUT THE BELT ON BEFORE THE PUMP.

I found about 2-3 baby socks stuck in the pump and couldnt remove them so I had to replace the part. Unfortunately I found this website AFTER I took the bad pump off. So I ended up removing the lower front panel and then flipping the washer upside down and removing the bottom of the washer and taking the pump off because I couldnt see any other way to get it off. The new pump arrived very quickly and I put it back on and put the bottom panel back on and flipped the washer back right side up. I certainly made it more difficult then it had to be but it was still fairly easy. Now I see all I needed to do was remove the motor to get the pump off. Oh well.

Pulled the electrical plug. Unscrewed the control know (counter clockwise). Gently pried off the round plastic plate under the control knob. Took off the outside cover. (2 screws). Took off the inside cover (3 screws). Disconnected the wiring harness from the timer. Unscrewed the 2 holding the timer in place. Replaced in opposite order. Connected timer, connect wiring harness, Attached inside cover, attached outside cover. Pushed in round plastic plate (make sure you line up the notches) screwed on the control knob.

Replaced the timer and knob. Very simple..!! Works great now... dont have to struggle turning the washer knob anymore.

Remove three screws on back cover ,removed two screws holding timer and disconnected wire harness plug , replaced timer and put back together.

Removed the cover on the washer controls. Loosed the knob and popped it off. Then disconnected the plug and replaced with the new part. Put th ekonb back on and closed it all up. It was pretty easy. Took longer to reomove all the screws than it did to remove and replace the part.

I began by removing the two screws at the lower part of the front panel. After removing the panel I was able to access and remove the broken switch which was located on the front panel. I popped out the old switch and replaced it with the new one, reattached the wires and put the front panel on and the jod was done.

1. Removed the hot and cold water hoses. 2. Undid one screw holding on the solenoid mounting plate. 3. Pushed the plate in at the top to unlatch the plate at the bottom. 4. Pulled the plate out and undid the output hose. 5. Replaced the solenoid assembly held on by two screws. 6. Replaced it all in the revers order.

The door switch was easy to replace. It is located in the right bottom of the door and I popped out with my fingers. Follow the wire connectors from the old switch and remounted back in.

Installed the new part. Worked great!
