MWFW8300SW01 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Followed the video except to use clamps to hold the Bellow To Front Panel Clamp in place while I worked the clamp around the from of the Bellow. I used a plastic pry tool in place of the suggested screw driver to pry the control panel off.

Much easier than I thought. Watched the video a few times.The front control panel gave me a little fight which the video edited that part out And the spring clamp reinstall took the most time.There must be a tool for that??

Pretty straight forward , It is a tight work are especially laying on your stomach. To make installation easier I recommend buying a 3-4 inch hose clamp instead of trying to use the old pinch style clamp. You will only need a zip tie if you reuse the existing clamps. remember to remove the plastic ball from the old rubber hose into the new hose.

I basically just followed the directions in the Parts Select video. The only thing that was a little difficult was getting the new belt to feed onto the drum pulley, but after a couple of tries I was able to get it on. I'm glad the video mentioned this might be a little difficult or I might have thought I was doing something wrong.

Removed top and front lower panels remove door panel.Remove ring from boot seal don’t damage seal.Replace hose,reassemble.Job is a lot easier if you purchase tool to re-install door ring seal.Tool is available from several sites on the net.

I followed the video that accompanied the parts order confirmation. The replacement of the two parts, bellows and hose, were pretty straightforward. The job took a little less than an hour with little aggregation.

Checked for 120 V AC at pump connector. It was present . Pump was hot. Ordered new pump. Changing the pump is a piece of cake. Just tilt machine back and rest on a brick. Remove 3 5/16th screws . Disconnect 2 hoses and 1 plug. Took 10 minutes tops. Back in business.

I followed the clear directions. Any hiccups were due to wear of the parts as they were quite old. This included both wire clamps.

Boyfriend followed directions and YouTube and I’m sooooo grateful!! My door shuts easily.. I love my machine and my man with your directives and your parts made my magic happen!!

Used suggestions on list - water to lubricate bellows and an extra hand to secure the bellows. Biggest challenge was seating the bellow that attaches to the rim of the outer tub. After getting the bellow lip seated the rest was fairly easy including the bellow seat that secures to the outer door assembly. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the bellow was the problem even though the symptoms - leaking under the door - was the same as noted on the list of problems. Had to order the dispenser-to-tub hose as that looks to be the problem (had to contort to follow the leak all the way up to the hose).

raised front of machine about 6 inchs bigest pain is getting water out after that its easy.open drain just a bit other wise it will pour out all over about 4 pots worth if its full

Replace front legs. Very easy fix.

Replaced drain hose

Called my son-in-law the Retired electrician.

Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.
