MHW3000BW0 Maytag Washer - Instructions

I took the machine top off, then removed the control panel, removed old wire ring clamps. Removed door, removed inner clamp, water inlet tube, and bellows. Lubed up the new bellows with food grade silicone. Replaced the water inlet, inner clamp, door, outer spring clamp, reassembled the washer body and control panel and then ate a pizza.

Followed internet instructions

The end of the strike had broken off, and the pictures did not clearly show there was a cross-member at the end of the strike. That crossmember is what broke on the old strike. The strike has only two screws, both requiring a Torx bit (#20, I believe). Unscrew both screws to remove the strike plate. It was a little difficult to get out - it has a curved top to lock into the top slot, but the bottom slides slightly down into another slot. There isn't a lot of room in the opening to slide the strike up and down and get it out. Putting the new strike on is easier - ensure the curved end fits into the slot at the top and slide it up just a bit, push the bottom of the strike plate in, then let it drop right into place, and reinsert the screws. The only problem I had was the strike's holes for the screws are slotted horizontally, so the strike can be positioned across almost 3/8". The latch would not engage the strike the first time, so I had to loosen the screws and reposition the strike a bit. This time it latched, but the fit wasn't quite right, so I adjusted it again to get it where I needed it.

Factory hose clamps were awkward to maneuver. I used automotive radiator hose clamps instead. They worked great.

Watched this video on the website and went to work. Went very easy and smooth with removing the door. A pair of pliers works fine for outer ring. Kind of challenging by yourself, but I got it on in less than 5 minutes. Pliers in one hand and flat head screwdriver in the other to work the ring on. Much cheaper than paying someone to do it. 2 out of 10 for difficulty.

I am still waiting for the correct part to arrive, I was sent a part but it was the wrong part, the wrong part number and it was nothing that would work on a washing machine. I think someone else ended up with my part and I got theirs.

Removed old pump, stripped down wires, added new pump, soldered the wires from washer to replacement pump, and hooked up hoses, tested and finished install. Was actually pretty easy. Just needed to make sure to get all the water was out of the hoses and pump before removing connection points.

Took door off with a Phillips screwdriver went to hardware store with door so he could match up the 6pt screwdrivers that were needed.
No more then 1 hour to do.

This was a super easy repair that completely fixed my issue. My washer was showing the same F8E1 error code on most loads, and would not run special cycles, only the normal wash cycle.

With the help of Google, I diagnosed the issue as a water fill error and understood that the inlet valve wasn't working. I bought this part, watched an instructional YouTube video, and replaced the broken part in about 25 minutes, start to finish.

To do the repair, I disconnected power and shut off water to the machine, then removed the back panel of the washer. Next, I unhooked the wires and water tubes connected to the old inlet valve and pulled it out of the machine. I snapped the wires into the correct ports on the new valve, attached the water hoses, slid it into position, and secured it with the set pins, then reattached the back panel on the washer. I plugged the machine back on and opened the water line. Everything works now, including special cycles.

Did the repair just like the video on your website. Was really easy.
