KAWS700GQ0 KitchenAid Washer - Instructions

I followed the video clip that showed how to make the repair that was attached to the email sent from Patrselect notifying me that my part had been shipped. The video clip was excellent and no other instructions needed. Thanks

I watched the video you all provided on the part it took only about 10-15 min to do the repair my old dog ears were gone. I ended up ordering the washer kit which was the best thing to do. Thanks for the fast deliverly I thought it was going to take longer but it was here in a day or two fast service. Thanks again for providing on the internet the video and the great service. Sincerely Mrs. Michele Harper

Removed center top cap/sofetner dispenser. Removed center shaft bolt. Pulled off the top agitator section from bottom portion. Inside the upper agitator is the inner housing for the cogs, pushed right out. Remove cog retainer plastic ring. Careful, the cogs freely fall out and it a little tricky when reassembling. Reassemble every (cogs go in only one way), place the upper agitator back down and over lower portion in machine. Now Put the bolt back in place. Here's the tricky part. You will need a magnetic tip driver or socket to hold the bolt until you have it started because it sits in recessed "well" area. I used a dab of regular Elmer's glue from bolt head to socket. Worked like a charm. Be careful not to over tighten bolt. Remember, upper agitator should free spin one direction and "catch" in the apposing direction.

Almost identical to the instruction video that was sent. Very straight forward. I did not take apart the washer to identify the problem. I was short on time so I took a chance and ordered the highest probability cause of the symptoms indicated by your website. It was dead on; the problem is fixed. Parts were received ahead of schedule. Excellent all around.

I watched the video tutorial online and just followed the videos instructions. Putting everything back together was the only challenge. Total project time was anout 20 mins. not too bad at all. Washer works great now!

Pulled agitater out of washer and replaced plastic dogs in it.

I tilt the washer on it back so i could get to water pump. Then using a pliers i squeezed the camps holding the hose going to the pump and pull off the hoses. Then i unhook the clips holding the pump and the pump came right off. I put the new pump on, basically the same way the old pump came off. The washer is now working perfectly.

After researching possible failure modes and reviewing a video for teardown/access from the control panel and access top down I noticed a lot of 'break dust' on top of the transmission. Shorting out the lid switch and putting my little finger on the drum, it would not spin but the clutch was spinning fine. I ordered a new clutch... Interesting thing when I was taking the clutch out... the gear it was attached to slid right off! After figuring out it was too big to go 'back' into the transmission and reviewing the parts explosion diagram... it BELONGED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION! So I took the transmission cover off, poured out out the black-ish oil with metal filings in it, put the gear inside, filled it back up with 10W30, put the lid on, added the new clutch while it was apart and finished reassembly. Wow! It spins much better than when it was new. I guess never assume what can happen on an assembly line. Thanks for the great site.

The training video you supplied was right on. I watched it twice to make sure I understood the procedure. I followed the steps outlined in the video and encountered no surprises. The replacement valve was a perfect match and functioned perfectly after installation. I checked other sources for the price of the replacement part. Your price was more than competative. Thank you for a fine service.

Simple repair that only took as long as it did because I took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the underside of the agitator and the bottom of the drum which it covers. Clear instructions, simple repair but it would be nice if this site had a footnote when ordering the kit that the grease for the thrust bearing is not included. I (sparingly) used a pure silicone grease I had in the garage. Everything is operating smoothly and we once again have clean clothes. What more could I ask for?

After shutting of water and removing supply hoses I started out removing the two small sheet metal screws on rear top and side top to remove dash board. Removed two large spring clips that hold the top and back together that are hidden by dash. pulled back panel back to access valve from left (looking at back of washer) Removed sheet metal screw securing valve plate to back panel. Moved hose spring clamp below hose barb on valve. Disconnected hot and cold switch plugs from valve and installed new valve using reverse steps above. Vacuumed and wiped down dust and lint from washer and put back in place. I used a short stool to ease working at a low position.

The parts did the job. pulled off the agitator cap, unscrewed the 1 bolt. pulled up the assembly, replace the parts, put it all back together. It was so easy i couldn't believe i got it right so fast. less then 10 minutes and i was washing dirty clothes again.

I unplugged unit and moved washer into room and turned off water supply and disconnected hoses. tipped washer back so I could access motor and pump -- pump is held in place with 2 spring clips. I removed inlet and outlet hoses from pump with my channel lock pliers. I then popped the spring clips holding the pump with a flat screwdriver.

I watched the video and everything went just as the video said. Took 25 minutes including the time it took to clean the agitator parts. I did not use the agitator grease recommended, but instead used Red N Tacky #2 multi-purpose grease. It has a 540 degree F drop point, Good for sliding surfaces, Stays in U-joints and resists wash out. I love this grease and you can use it on so many things.
