LAT6914AAL Maytag Washer - Instructions

Tried replacing timer, mixing valve, drain pump to no avail. Bought the lid switch assembly. That worked, here's how to do it. Unplug washer. Remove two philips head screws on top control panel to remove front. The lid switch assembly is mounted on the back behind the timer, and easily recognizable by the fuse. Remove wires (I needed wd40 for this part) from old assembly and connect to new assembly. Use nut driver to remove nut that holds the assembly to the washer, being careful to note exactly where the assembly was mounted, because it's adjustable. Bolt new assembly in place. Replace control panel cover (be sure that the bottom lip fits inside before replacing the screws on top. Plug in washer. Turn on washer. You're done.

Removed the old one installed the new one

Replaced the pump. The front panel screws were rusty. I also replaced the belts at the same time. The repair video told me just what to do. I wouldn't have known about the belt tension otherwise.

Everything basically went as planned. Putting the belts on was a breeze, but I had trouble getting on the screws that anchored the pump in. The pulley didn't allow access for a nut driver or socket, even with a universal, there still wasn't enough clearance. I went back and forth between using a screw driver in the end of a socket and using the socket on the end of a tiny breaker bar. It wasn't bad, just took a little patience. Everything works like a champ now.

Watched your viedo, pulled the power plug, pulled the washer away from the wall and tilted back to expose the belts. Rolled the old belts off and put the new ones on. Just be sure to put the correct belt on the pump and agitator drive as they are a bit different. Adjusted the pump belt as described in the inclosed instructions. What was strange was the same instructions was enclosed with the aggiator drive belt which appears to not be adjustable. Once adjusted put washer back in normal position, plugged in power and was ready to go. Seems to work fine now, least no complaints from the wife.
