EWFLW65IRR0 Electrolux Washer - Instructions

Bought new part. #1 Lesson learned: Always inspect the actual part number of the ordered/received part. Verify with number marked on the item somewhere. We did not do this and turned out we reinstalled a slightly smaller bellow (wrong part number received in shipment). We were able to fully install it but it was minutely not laying perfec ... Read more tly around the diameter. So minor we did not notice. We did have great difficulty installing though. Anyway, after 1st test run, bellow already had developed a small hole in bottom right quadrant from rubbing on the drum. Left a bunch of gray powdery debris on the drum too. We did not realize error until that point. Took bellow off again to verify part number on it. It was wrong. That explained why the door was so very tight to close and difficult to open. Other than all that, use the video to do the install. It was free to view and easy to follow.

First, I went to the PartSelect website and easily found the part at a reasonable price. I ordered it early on a Wednesday afternoon, and gladly spent the extra $25 to ship it overnight. That evening, PartSelect sent me an email stating that the part had shipped that very day, and - mistakenly - I took that literally. FedEx tracking predi ... Read more cted that the part would arrive on Friday, July 5, which made sense because the 4th was a holiday.
But I found out that the part had actually shipped on the 3rd, as the email had informed me. It didn't actually ship until the 4th - up until then, a "shipping label" had been created but it had not shipped. FedEx then revised their arrival date to Monday, 8 July.
That clearly wasn't satisfactory. So I went to my local parts distributor, Dayton Appliance Parts, a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and got the same part for $3 cheaper, plus without the $25 shipping fee that PartSelect had charged me for overnight-shipping-that-isn't-actually-overnight-shipping.
Once I had the part in hand, installation was a breeze. Two screws removed, pulled the striker, replaced the new part and the screws. Less than two minutes.
But no thanks to PartSelect.

Parts took twice as long to arrive shipped from Utah to Houston, Texas. Once arrived parts were straight forward to install.
1) Open the door by tripping the door strike using yard trimmer line.
2) Turned Power off (unplugged unit)
3) Used needle noses pliers to remove door rubber boot retainer
4) Folded right-side ... Read more of rubber in to removed switch assembly
5) Used Phillips screwdriver to remove switch assembly screws, navigated damaged switch part forward then disconnected line.
6) Connected new switch to line, navigate part back into washer and screwed back in.
7) Repositioned door rubber boot and reattached door boot retainer wire with hands and needle noose pliers.
8) Replaced door strike using Phillips screw driver.
9) Re-plugged washer power to outlet, closed door and ran a test cycle. All good!

Still waiting on the part. It apparently is on back order and I'm still waiting to get the part to try and repair the dryer.

I estimate an hour to replace the part if I ever get the part.

R and r

Replaced the door latch. Don't pay for overnight or 2 day delivery it will not get there. Paid for 2 day it arrive a week later. They will not refund the postage.

After removing the front and door (easy after watching video) the problem was obvious. The old Tub to Pump Hose had come disconnected. The hose clamps came off easily and the replacement was straightforward. A bit of fussing to get the clamps to slide into the right position, but easily accomplished after some persistence. Definitely glad ... Read more I did not call a repair guy for this.

All that was needed was a Phillips screw driver. Getting the door latch assembly out was a bit more effort then the door striker. You have to remove the chrome ring around the door opening first. Requires backing out screw on lower left part of the chrome ring to remove

I replaced the thingy and the whatsit, turned the machine off, then on, and the door worked properly thereafter.

First I watched a youtube video on how to do it. Then I took to machine apart and was able to replace the boot in a short period of time. You have to be careful when putting it on so the guides in the rubber line up with the pipes. It is a good idea to check the filter every few years because it does collect lint and strings that will clo ... Read more g the drain and cause the machine to leak or drain slowly.
