11028097700 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

the repair went well but I still haven't received a refund for the order was was sent incorrectly. Order #22085769 order date 2/3/23

Watched U-TUBE VIDEO of suspension rod replacement for whirlpool top loading Cabrio washing machine.

Repair was pretty straight forward with the exception of removing the agitator. Hint, do not force it, just continue to work it until it releases. Problem was not entirely corrected, but improved.

Followed you tube instructions from parts select and previous owners suggestions to install the right corner suspension rod second.

removed back of washer. turned washer on its side .removed the 3 screws holding pump and the 2 hoses and the electric connection pump came right out. did the reverse to install the new one.stood up the washer and ran it to check for leaks.no leaks installed back of washerand done

Removed the old hoses and screwed on the new hoses.

Lived about 6 months with noisy, unbalanced, vibrating top-load washer that would not fully drain clothes or finish a spin cycle.

Watched as many You-Tube repairs videos as we could. Had difficulty trying to open the top panel for access to spin tub.

Discovered that we had clips in front, about 6" from each side, that needed pressure push with flat metal paint scraper, in order to open the top for access.

Other than that delay, took us about 2 hours total with two of us working together. In the end, Suspension Kit was exactly what we needed, and NO longer get the UL error code, with bothersome constant spin stops, which failed to spin water out of wet clothing.

Replaced 4 suspension rods. Had to release washer top from body case by twisting putty knife between lid and body. Once released swung lid up and propped against wall to access suspension rods. Replaced all rods and reinstalled lid. Good test run, no unbalanced error.

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.

Used shop vac to remove as much water as possible. Turned washing machine on side to access pump. Removed old pump. Installed new pump. Used nutdriver to attach three fasteners and pliers to attach clamps to hoses.

The most difficult was to lift the top up. Releasing the clips was tough to push in and it broke some porcelain. The 3 screws on the plastic instrument cover was all that was required. Track the wires and remove the plug in and pull the wires through the access hole and misc clips, a Phillips screw driver removes the plastic switch .Simply place the new switch under the lid and the worst is done. Once the lid was up, 10 minutes and your done.

This is an easy one. Snap off the agitator cap with a screwdriver.
Remove the single but and agitator.
Remove 6 phillips head screws.
Lubricate the bearing and coax it off the spindle.

followed repair manual for code f51.ordered/replaced Rotor Position Sensor {RPS} disconnected and reconnected wiring harness at computer module and then put everything back together and that took care of the problem, It;s been working good since. that sensor was delivered the very next day. that was great. thank you

1st watch a video on replacement of this pump.
My main issue was the guard I had to install and the correct way to
put it in. I know I got it right.
The pump is very noisy, loud!
It pumps out just fine.
Want to know if this is normal, Loud pump.

Thanks, Dave
