GHW9150PW1 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Replaced water valve new valve had different electrical connections so I had to replace the connectors job took about 20 minutes. Washer is now operating correct

it just snap on in 5 seconds, incredible, can't believe it was so easy, the washer is so old I thought I will have problems fitting it in.

shut off water valves, took out 3 torx screws that hold the top on, slid then top back just a bit and removed, took the hoses off, took the screw out that holds the water valve and lifted the valve up to remove the wires and hose. Put the wires and hose on the new valve and re-installed, connected the hoses and checked for leaks, put the top on called it a day.

Removed the two screws, removed the cracked handle, replaced with the new handle, put the two screws back in. 2 min. repair and I didn't even ask my husband for help. Simple!!!!

removed three screens on lower front panel removed hoses from pump after opening drain/filter to remove water slid pump forward and out unplugged pump wiring harness reverse to install

Removed what was left of the old handle, was attached with 2 screws. Used the same screws and attached the new handle. Easy as that. Less than 15 minutes.

Took the front panel below tub and above pedestal off washer. Removed pump and found coins in the strainer. Removed them thinking they may be causing the problem. Put everything back together and tried again. Washer still wouldn't drain. Unplugged it and ordered a new pump. Installed pump after removing the plug and draining water from washer. Replaced pump with new one and washer works like new.

I replaced the flow meter but that want it, so replaced the water inlet valve and that cured what ailed it. The only pain was that the single screw that holds the part to the washer is a torx rather than a nut like the rest of the back screws. Couldn't see it without pulling the washer all the way out. Hose clamp came off with pliers and the electrical connectors were TIGHT but came off with some effort. Replaced everything and error cleared ok.

The installation requires a star shaped screw driver to remove the existing the screw holding the door handle. The same screws must be saved and used to install the new handle, which does not come with new screws. So, you do not want to strip the screws removing. Plan ahead with the correct screw driver- you can determine what is needed by looking at the screw head and purchasing an appropriate tool. My handy neighbor installed my new handle, but the screws can no longer be removed should I have to replace the handle a second time. The entire time to remove and install took less than five minutes.

Removed two screws and removed the broken handle. Positioned the new handle, replaced the screws. Admired my repair.

I used a phillips head screw driver, however the heads of the screws were not phillips head, they were some other kind of head I have never seen.

Unscrewed two philips head screws, took off old handle and replaced with new. Fastened with two philips head screws. Took 60 seconds from start to finish.

It took less time to repair than it took to get new baffle out of the packing sleeve. Set it in drum and snapped it in place. Took about 5 seconds.

The difficult part was getting the water from the washer without making a huge mess. I used a shop vac loosened the cover on the filter/strainer assembly use the shop vac to suck up the water before spills all over. if the tub is full I dumped my shop vac twice total. 1 Remove pedestal drawer 2 removed lower cover to expose mechanicals and pump assembly 3 vac out the water by using above procedure. 4 rotate hose clamps to a position where you can get the needle vice grip on them/remove hose clamps. 5 lift cover exposing electrical connections on the pump assembly depress tab slide connector out. 6 remove 1 torx head screw securing pump to base of washer. 7 remove pump assembly. 8 Reinstall in reverse of above instruction. I also took the lower tub hose off and washed, bleached along with hot water to. clean it

The handle is set with two screws (that don't come with the replacement handle so make sure to save them when you take the old handle off). They use the 6 point screwdriver but a regular flathead screwdriver will work - a phillips won't. Take the old screws out, put the new handle on and screw it back in using the old screws. EASY
