11026132410 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

a couple of issues to get valve out and off , 15 min. install and top back on!!!

Replaced each hose. Did discover that either hose can be used for hot or cold water lines. No longer required to label hot and cold replacement hoses.

The video was excellent in what needed to be accomplished. However it showed reaching inside the tub with vise grips to grab the old spring. This worked fine for removing them but the installation of the new spring did not allow my hand and vise grip to secure the new spring and pull it up and insert it into the retainer. I found that by taking a cord and putting it through the socket and retainer allowed me to pull straight up and seat it in the retainer a lot easier.

I used a small flat head screwdriver inserted into slots just under the cap and pried off the cap. The cap should come off very easy.
Replace with the new cap.

Pried open the top of the machine. Used a putty knife. This was the hardest part of the job. Take your time. Took off upper plate of the back of machine, to free the value. Unplugged the power wires from the old valve and unscrewed it. Put in the new one and reversed processes. Easy peezy. Great deal on part. Saved hundreds of dollars doing it myself

Popped the cap , used a socket to unscrew the bolt (it was stripped so ended up having to cut off bolt) Took off old impellar and replaced, installed a new bolt, replaced Cap and it was fixed.

Removed broken hinge, replaced with new.

At first I had to position the washer so I could get access.. after having it positioned, I figured it out. Getting the clamp fastened, I was done.

I removed the screws from old hinge that had broke. The piece came right out with ease. I slid the new hinge in to the hole that it went in. No struggles with ease. Lined up the screw holes and put the screws back in. Finished! Works like a charm.
