Pull Washer out, Flip to the right on it's side. Pop two Metal retaining clips, squeeze hose clamps with pliers. Remove pump, sand shaft with dremil or 80 grit sand paper. Replace with new pump. Easy! Push washer back and attach hoses and power. Done 15 minute repair

Removed the four screws from the control housing. Disconnect wire to machine housing. Remove the two clips connecting the machine housing to the back. Remove washing machine housing. Pump is located right in front. Disconnect hoses, remove and replace pump, reconnect hoses. Replace the machine housing. This was the hardest part if all trying to reinstall the housing.Once you get the machine housing in place correctly, put everything back together. You just saved about $125 in fifteen minutes.

Removed the two spring clamps from hoses; removed hoses from pump. Removed spring clips holding pump to motor. Had to pry pump off of motor shaft due to rust on shaft end. Sandpapered rust off of shaft and then lubed same with oil and new pump slid easily onto motor shaft. Re-snapped spring clips to hold pump onto motor and then reinstalled hoses and their spring clamps. Whala, end of story, job well done.

1) Disassembled the lid
2) Took the front Panel off (the old water pump was in the bottom left hand corner in plain site).
3) Used flat head screw driver to gentle pry the top and bottom water pump fasterners.
4) Used pliers to remove top hose camp. Note this is where I discovered why everyone says to put the washer on it back. Water came rushing out. Luckily no damage to the motor.
5) Used pliers to remove the bottom hose clamp.
6) Put everything back together Total time <30 minutes.

Unfortunately, the water is still not completely draining. I am now looking at the hoses for obstructions. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I unplugged the washer, put a towel down, leaned it back and held it up with one hand while undoing the clamps with plyers. Pulled the two clamps off, pulled the pump, put the new pump on, reattached the clamps. Most of this with one hand while the other held the washer at an angle.

I disconnected the washer from the water supply lines.turned the washer on it's back. took two hoses off the water pump.Unsnapped two spring clip's.Took the old pump off and installed the new pump.That is all there was to it.

the hard part was getting the pump off of the rusted centerpeice. i actually had to grab the pump with both hands, put my feet on the rotator and PULL. finally it basically snapped off and rusted peices went flying. after cleaning it the new pump went on rather easily, with the help of a rubber mallet.

I propped the unit on its side, then I removed the intake and discharge hose with pliers (remember to have a bucket handy for the extra water in the hoses.)
Secondly, there are two clips on the top and bottom of the pump which hold the unit snug against the motor. These simply pop off with your hand or a screwdriver (be careful to save these!) Now the pump should slide off the drive shaft easily but most likely it will not due rusting of the shaft. A pry bar or large screwdriver and some elbow grease will get the pump to slide off.
Installation is the reverse except you will have to sand off the rust on the shaft. Sand paper will do but I used a Dremel type grinder (die grinder) which made easy work of removing the rust. Finally, sliding the new pump in is remarkably easy.
Installation of the new pump should take less than 10 minutes with a clean driveshaft.

plires took off the two hoses , on clip the two snap clips . pulled out the old pump . put the new one in cliped in the snap clips in & hook the hoses back up

Remove four screws securing control panel from the rear and tilt control panel forward. Unplug wiring harness from door limit switch. Unsnap and remove two S-clamps securing enclosure to back panel. Tilt enclosure slightly forward and remove it from wash machine. Disconnect water hoses and clips securing water pump and remove water pump. Install in reverse order. Caution: inspect water hoses closely. I had a rotten pump intake hose and found out the hard way (water everywhere).

Just removed the old pump with a pair pliers and snapped the new one on. It was a snap

I shut off the water supply hoses and then disconnected them and also disconnected the power supply cord--next I laid the washer on its back being sure to place a block near the water supply valve so the weight of the washer does not rest on the water valve--next I disconnected the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump--next pop off the two retainer clips on the pump and then remove the pump by sliding off of the motor shaft-----to re- assemble just reverse the procedure and you are done--it is a very easy fix.

I followed the you tube instructions. The hardest part was realigning the washer housing on the lower frame.

Used online instructions from this site

The new pump arrived at my door just a few days after it was shipped.

Once I got the water hoses off and the clips holding the pump I had to use a large screwdriver to get the pump off the motor shaft. I then tried putting the new pump on but it wouldn't fit. I noticed that the motor shaft was flaired out (possibly due to rust) so I used a Dremel Tool with a grinding disk to carefully grind down the shaft to what it looked like it was supposed to be. Once that was done the pump easily slipped into place. I attached the pump clamps and hoses and pushed the washer back into place. I ran a quick test and then later a load of laundry. No more leaks!
