Discharge hose was leaking
6 of 8 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Hyattsville, MD
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
This is a newer washer, but I don't know the age. I just bought the house...!

I made this repair more difficult than it needed to be. I took off the back panel of the machine completely, only to discover the coupling for the hose was near the front of the machine. I tilted the unit on its side and took off the bottom before I discovered the access panel on the front, which is held on by only two screws. I put the bottom panel back on, tilted it upright, took off the panel, and had easy access to the coupling. The new part fit perfectly, and a quick wash load proved the leak was fixed.

crack in drain hose

First I went on-line and found a download for the parts catalogue which contains a schematic for the washer. After looking this over I could determine how to get the washer apart! After getting the front panel off, I disconnected the drain hose from the pump with a pair of water-pump pliers. As I pulled this hose out, water spilled out all over the floor, so I then cleaned that up. Next I connected the new hose and put the machine back together. This job would have cost me over $150 if I had called in a repairman. PartSelect saved me so much money, and I thank them so much!

I took off the front panel of the washer and placed the belt on the large tub wheel and then the smaller wheel. I placed the belt over the adjustable third wheel and turned the tub in order to get the belt all the way in the grooves. Thirty minutes max to replace. Thanks, my order was 100% satisfactory

Knob would not advance timer / cycle selector.

  • 15 - 30 mins
After pulling the knob out ( on position) a white retainer clip was visible behind the knob. Using a paper clip bent in to a "J" shape I was able to easily remove the retainer clip and knob . The old knob had several stripped teeth that caused the problem. The new knob came with the retainer clip installed . The knob slipped on and locke d in position.

Leaking hoses
5 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Dixie from STRANG, OK
  • Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
I made my job difficult by removing the back panel, then the side, and finally discovered the front panel opens giving access to the washer. Using heavy pliers I removed the spring clamps and replaced the pump to washer hose and the other hose end to the tub. Turned on the washer no leak only to discover the drain hose had developed a le ak. So I ordered the second hose. I was not sure how to release the plastic retaining clamps. Finally just yanked them loose, which worked. Ran the hose through the machine out the back into the drain pipe. I was able to reattach the retaining clamps put the spring clamp on the pump end of the hose. The difficult part was getting the back, sides and front of the washing machine together that took hours.

Replace Water Pump
5 of 7 people found this instruction helpful.
  • thomas from bloomsburg, PA
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Wrench set
Unplug the machine. Turn it face down. Take the back off. Take the four hoses off the pump. Unscrew the screw holding the connection to the motor and carefully slide the brace off without bending it. Remove the 3 screws holding the pump on. Take the old pump out. Screw the 3 screws back on. Attach the drive mechanism with the clam p carefully being sure to even it out under the clamp as you tighten it. Reattach the hoses. One of my hoses leaked after wards so I had to trim a half inch off to get a better grab on the pump. Put the back on and stand her up. Plug it in and test her out.

washer would cycle only if I manually moved dial

  • Donna from Heathsville, VA
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
First I removed the setting dial, then removed the 2 screws that hold the panel on. Then removed the 2 screws that held the timer in place. The new part was exactly the same. I unplugged the wires from the old one and plugged into the new one. Positioned the new timer in place and replaced the screws. I did have trouble with the scre ws, getting them tight enough, I could not seem to get them to tighten all the way down. So......I sprayed them with WD-40 and without a hitch they tightened up and held the timer securely in place. I was so proud of myself I could hardly stand it. I was going to wait until my husband noticed the washer was fixed to tell him I fixed it but I could not wait that long!

Husband did it. Tipped machine onto its front. Took out some screws and disconnected a wire and removed hoses from pump. Then put it all back and it is as good as new. This is the second pump in two years, but it beats the price of a new machine.
Your service is excellent. Both times, I have ordered the part is here the next m orning. Never have had such service from anywhere else. I am telling all my friends about your web site.

I read the last three peoples experiences when I ordered the part on your on line page. I had already made all the wrong mistakes taking the machine apart, and couldn't beleive how simplified it was on your web site. I had called a local repair shop only to be advised the part would take 4 days shipping and the price of it plus shipping w as twice what I paid you. Your part arrived the day after I ordered it on line, Thanks again for being there!!!!!
