YMHWE201YW00 Maytag - Instructions

First, I watched the video again just to make sure I had a firm grasp of the task ahead. I gathered up the tools and proceeded to begin. First obstacle: getting the washer tilted back enough to put the blocks under the front feet. The washer was sitting inside a square water pan with a drain connected directly under the middle of the washer. Therefore, the water pan did not move and I could only get the washer moved out far enough to 'barely' put the blocks underneath. Second obstacle: a clump of hair had gathered at the bottom portion of the door unnoticed and caused a slow leak from the bellows. This leak dripped down and rusted out two of the three screws. I had to use a socket set to get the screws out. Third obstacle: getting the pump removed from the bottom of the washer. With the drip, the pump had stuck to the bottom of the washer. Trying hard not to get cut on the sheet metal bottom, I pushed and pushed and pulled until finally the pump let loose. From that point on..smooth sailing just like the video. Washer fixed!

Removing and reassembling the front and top panels was very easy and straight forward. I started by opening the clean out next to the pump and to my surprise found 2 shiney pennies a rusted paper clip and a small nail. I inspected the bellows and found 2 - 1/4 inch slits near the drain holes in the bottom of the bellows, not big enough for the pennies to pass through so how did the pennies get there. Installing the clamp to the drum was fairly difficult. The hardest part of the bellow installation was getting the front spring clamp lined up and stretched. I used the old spring clamp, maybe a new one would halve been easier.I used some duct tape to hold the wire clamp in place and a screwdriver in one end of the spring and with a great deal of effort stretched the spring enough to get the clamp over the rim. I also sprayed some water on the groove in the bellow to get to seat on the rim

Just use the video. Shows you all you need to know. Very easy. Do it yourself and it saves you money.

Thank You so much for the other stories folks wrote on here! We were getting an F21 code on a regular basis. After finding a necklace and about $2.50 in change in the filter tray we found the problem. Over time I thought the washer was getting louder but it was so gradule that we really did not realize it.I had read other posts on here and ordered a new pump. After taking out 3 screws and 2 clamps the pump came right out and went in just as easy. Less than 15 minutes and we were back in business with a wisper quiet washing machine,Thanks Again everyone, Mike D.

I drained the water out of the pump area. Then took off all clamps and holding brackets. Next I pulled off the quick connect power plug. Then I put new pump in the way I took old pump out. The hardest part was unscrewing the bracket from underneath the washer. Cloth washer working fine.

Searched internet for diagnosis. Ran diagnostic test using the diagnostic manual from whirlpool. The error code was F29. Replaced door latch but problem was not solved. Then order the Motor Control Unit. Removed old control unit through the top by removing the top washer cover and numbering harness positions with painter's tape. Install the new Control Unit and ran diagnostic procedure. The problem was solved. The washer is working fine.

Well first off the part is different then the orignal so it does not fit correctly. I removed the old bellow and its cicular spring clamps. On the new bellow there is not enough lip on the rubber for hte clamps to be put back on and hold the bellow in place so it still leaks out the door. if the part was a match it would work but since the part number was changed and the design was changed it now does not fit correctly. INstructions did not come withthe part so had to find them online.

took the old part out by the front panel and put the new pump in and now it works great. only took a couple of minute to put the new one in. thank you for saving my washer.
