Washing machine wouldn't run. Kept making buzzing sound and didn't show door latched.
Removed the 3 screws that hold the bottom front panel in place. Removed the 3 screws that hold the door latch in place and pulled out on the bottom of the door which wasn't very much and slid the door latch out to get to the wire connections. Connected the wires to the new latch and pulled out bottom again and put the latch back into place and put the 3 screws back in. Note: make sure you unplug the washer so you don't have a chance to get shocked. Level of difficulty was pretty easy.
First unplug or turn off thee circuit breaker. Then remove the two screws to the top cover. Slide the cover back about three inches then remove the cover. Next take out the screw to the old sensor. Then unplug the electrical connection by squeezing and the pulling to disengage. Now set the old unit aside. You then grad your eight inch wire tie and hold the with flat side to the right and just to the right of the screw hole for the bracket is a square hole. Feed to wire tie into the square hole with your left hand then loop down left side of the end of new sensor and back up threw the square hole and tighten with the pliers. Your new sensor will be positioned just like it was mounted to the metal bracket. And pretty ridged. Now connect the vacuum hose and electrical connector.
Removed the rear top two Phillips screws, pull off top cover. Unscrew two phillips screws that hold the outside front lock trim, unclip (one left of housing) plastic housing. Remove one phillips screw 11 o'clock from housing, about 6" away, with door button above it, which releases the door lock housing from inside the machine. From right side (facing machine) look down into left front of machine, you will see a black cover, which does a goid job hiding the white part, but it protects the part from water, I guess. Unclip 3-4 plugs, push spinning loader away to pull out the complete part easily. Swap back covers (a bit annoying to place wiring harness back in such a tight place, and cover on. You can try another method if you have a simpler way, like place the harness onto part first, before plugging in and placing cover. But, I kept dropping the part into the machine, which equals a little pita). Then screw the 11pm screw to hold part and the two other screws (small housing and cover), place remaining 2 screws, and lid. Pretty much undo the above procedure. Done.
Take pics every step, easier re-assembly. Dismantled washer keeping bolt/screw section removed compartmentalized in a tackle box in the order of removal. Replaced drum support, bearings, seal, old blots. Too much to write but I was able to do it all in about 4 hours once all the parts finally came in.
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.
easy process: troubleshoot problem on website-- order part--get part--watch "how to replace"video on you tube-- get it done with only a screwdriver--go out for movie and dinner with $$ saved.
Both door latch parts broke, one on the door and the other on the washer.
When I looked at the website for latch repair they showed a video (can't remember which brand but not Amana) where you had to take off the top and front of the washer to get at the latch part on the washer. For the Amana I had, you simply had to pull out a portion of the rubber gasket held onto the washer by a wire/spring combination (you can take the wire off) to get at the latch assembly. You could then undo the three screws holding the latch to the washer, pull it out and unplug the three wiring connections to remove the old latch. Then plug connections into the new latch, reinstall, tighten screws and fit gasket and wire/spring assembly back together. Much easier than going thru the top and front of the washer!
The washing would stop in mid cycle and the door would be locked.
An initial issue was getting the door to unlock. I tired several things but finally was able to pull the door as if to open it and put something between the door handle and the front of the washer while I ran a washer cycle. There is a way to take the washer top off and reach down inside the unit and pull down on a release, but I did not try that.
The washer has a rubber boot between the washer frame and the wash tub. There is a metal wire ring that secures the outer edge of the boot to the washer frame. Peel back the outer edge of the boot at the bottom to reveal a metal ring that has its ends connected by a small spring. Use a flat tip screw drive to pry this ring off. Peel back the boot from the washer frame.
Next use a Phillips screw drive to remove the two screws that protrude through the wash frame on the right side of the door.
Reach between the washer tub and the frame and the tub and pull the switch through the opening and the washer tub. You will have to wiggle the switch around to remove it. There are three sets of wires attached to the switch by plugs.
The switch is covered with a plastic protective cover. Remove this. You will have to use a screw driver to release various catches to do this.
Remove the three set of wires. There are catches that secure the wire plugs in place. pry them back with a small screw drive.
Attach the new switch to the sets of wires.
Attach the protective cover to the switch. The wires feed through a small slot toward the bottom of the switch.
Slide the switch through the opening where you removed it. and re-attach it using the two screws.
Put the rubber boot in the channel in the washer frame. Replace the metal ring. This was the most challenging part of the repair for me. I had to play around with this to get it into position. You have to work it around the gasket and stretch out the spring.
By the way, The service was great and exceeded by expectations.
Unplug machine,remove three screws that hold on top cover. Unplug latch switch assembly,then open front door of washing machine, remove three screws which hold latch switch. Install in reverse order.
I had to pull the washer out from the wall. SInce it is in front of the door going out into the garage made it dificult getting tools. I had to lay on my side doubled up in order toget to the hose. I used a bit extention so that I could get the clamp loose. Cut the time in half by using a drill with a phillips head screw bit. The only real hard part was getting the new one up tight on the drain. Used a heavy duty screw driver to push it up so the clamp would bite.
Washer flashed error code DL (door lock) and wouldn't start.
We followed another very helpful repair story. Unplug machine. Unscrew top back screws, remove top of washer. Reach inside from the top in the front of the machine. Remove screws holding latch in place, unplug the three plugs attached to latch. Replace with new door latch, screw it in place, replug the three plugs, put top of machine back on, replace screws on back and your'e done! Works great! Job made easy thanks to others helpfulness!
The washer tech manual stated to: 1) remove the top, 2) control console, 3) front below the door (front load washer), 4) remove the retaining wire, 5) pull back the rubber bellows, 6) remove the three screws and remove the door latch/lock assembly. I discovered that steps 1 through 3 are not required to replace the assembly. Installation is the reverse of steps 4 through 6. That was easy. The difficult part was figuring out how to reset the pressure switch so the drain pump would not start every time you reconnected to the power supply (pressure switch thinks the washer still contains water). With the power disconnected, I disconnected the pressure switch from the central control unit. Then I reconnected the power supply and pressure switch. That reset the pressure switch solved the problem with the drain pump. Washer works fine now.
This took ten minutes .... super easy .... DO IT YOURSELF!!!! About 75.00 with shipping ... can only imagine this woulkd have been 250 to 300 to have somebody com e onsite.
The Glass on the door cracked into a bunch of pieces.
I went to Maytag.com and typed in my model number and it came up with different parts I found the glass part I needed and ordered it. I received it in like 3 days. I had a phyllips screw driver and it the removal of the base around the glass replace the glass and screwed it right back on and started washing clothes. No leaks at all. I am a woman and proved woman can do the same things a man can do but quicker.LOL
