2048778481 Kenmore Upright Vacuum - Instructions

This is the same part that is on many Maytag washers. I cannot believe it leaked so soon. I spent 45 minutes or better on the phone with Maytag/Roper. Went through at least 5 people (as I was disconnected once), transfered to someone else mid sentence because I bought it at Lowes. I mean as soon as I said Lowes it was like, beep done. Oh and by the way after all that they still could not find the part I was looking for let alone give me a price. I was looking on the internet while on the phone and found this place. The prints/drawings are awesome and my part came in about 3 days standard shipping. I have book marked this site and will go nowhere else. The repair took about 5 minutes, poped off the old part and on with the new. I only used pliers to disconnect the water so I could move the washer out.

Layed washer on back side
Removed two clips holding pump ,and two clamps on hoses removed pump installed new very,very easy
only needed a pair of pliers.

I am more than happy to relate this...my 15 month old Whirlpool washer was having a slow leak. Initially, I did not suspect it was the water pump because the appliance was fairly new. When I flipped the washer over, I saw clearly it was comming from the water pump. This pump comes right off after you snap off two clips and loosen two hose clamps. Takes all of 2 minutes! I took the part off and looked for a part number. Then I punched in the part number on my internet and low and behold parts select was one of the links that came up. I just cliqued my way through the order and FEDEXed the part. It came the NEXT BUSINESS DAY! I had it snapped back on and that took another 2 minutes. Don't pay anyone to do this, it's a shame...it's sooooo easy and Partsselect will ship you the part next day. This repair cost me 67 dollars (34 for the part and shipping). Could have easily been 150.00 by a repair man. EASY JOB...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

Job was not as bad as I had thought it would be. This sites instant repairman was a really big help ! I did not take the back off, instead I just put machine on its back and changed out the pump from the bottom. Worked out great and was faster.

First I located the leak and removed what was lated identified as the water pump. The pump was secured to a motor by two clamps. Attachted to the water pump were two water hoses. I removed the water pump, took it inside my and started my search for the part on the web. I located your site, followed the site instructions and found the part I needed. For the record, I have never attempted to repair anything in my life. Your site help me save over $300.

First I removed the clamps that holds the pump in place.
Next I removed the water hose clamps.
Then I did the reverse to finish the repair.

I pulled the machine out about two feet from the wall. No need to disconnect any hoses. Tip up the front, place an automotive jack stand under the front of the machine to hold it approximately a foot and a half up. Lay on the floor, remove the hose clamps, flip the two spring clips off that hold the pump, and it's off in minutes. Place the new pump in position and replace the two spring clips, slide the hoses back on and install the clamps. It couldn't be easier or quicker. Replacing the pump took 5-10 minutes max. The longest part of the project was cleaning up the spilled water..!

remove the motor remove hoses find sock inside of pump couldn't removed install new pump take less than 2 hrs to fix

pulled the washer away from the wall and turned it on its side. I had to remove the gear box and motor to get to the part. Had to remove the whole insides. Install the part and put everything back in.

took the washer outside on the back porch and then took it apart. replaced the water pump and everything worked well.

I slid the washer out so that I could access the bottom. I laid it on its side so I could look underneath. It was obvious that the leak was caused by a worn water pump bearing. I removed motor/pump assembly which required removing the nut at the top of the agitator and three bolts holding the motor assembly to the washer. I removed the assembly and water hoses then reversed the process with the new pump. In all it took about an hour to an hour and a half.

Turned water off at wall and disconnected electrical power cord from outlet.

Tilted washer backward far enough to view water pump and bottom of tub, motor, etc.. Saw drip of water on one of the two clamps that secure the pump on shaft.

Removed the two hoses that are connected to pump (drained water in a pan). Using screw driver, removed the two clamps that hold the pump on the shaft. Wet, greasy shaft allowed pump to slip off easily.

Installed large hose onto new pump, then put new pump onto shaft...then aligned four pump legs in place, then snapped the two clamps on to secure pump in place on shaft.

Installed second hose.

Kim, ar PartSelect.com was great!

First I remoived the 2 screws that hold on the control panel and tilted it back. Next I removed the clips that retain the lower enclosure and tilted it forward to remove it. With the lower enclosure out of the way I used pliers to remove the 2 hose clamps on the pump and a screw driver to undo the retaining clips. Installed the new pump and reassembled everything in the reverse order. The only trrouble I had was in getting the lower enclosure back on correctly. It took a little effort to get everything lined up so it would fit.

First I unplug electric plug, then turn off water lines & disconnected them. Pulled out the washer where I could easily work on it. Then removed the screws holding the back panel and top control knob panel by separating it from main body. (Spring clips on control panel were a bit tight to pop off.) Once removed back & top, the main body of washer, hinges forward and pulls out and off. Now the pump is accessible, so I remove the two hoses clamps and pull off hoses, and pop off two spring clips holding pump on the motor. Then I slide new pump onto the motor, (line up flat spot on shaft with pump) and pop the spring clips back on and reconnect the hoses and clamps. Put main body, back and top control panel back together the opposite of the way I took it a part. Moved washer back and reconnected water lines and plugged in. No more water on the floor… (Note:) Washer leak happened on Sunday & Monday was holiday of coarse. So I ordered the new pump Sunday online and it arrived by Wednesday. Thank You PartSelect.com.

I unplugged and detached the hoses from the faucets & drain. Then I pulled the washer out from the wall and tipped it onto its back so that I could access the water pump from beneath. I used pliars to compress and move the two hose clamps holding the hoses attached to the pump, then used a screw driver to pry the two retaining clips from the pump. I slipped the pump from the shaft and pulled the hoses from their connection. To install the new pump, I simply reversed this procedure. After installing the new pump I set the washer up and lifted to set it on benches (so that I could inspect the mechanism while running the washer), Then I re-attached the water and electrical and ran the washer through a cycle while watching for leaks. Then I returned the washer to its original position. Overall, it was an easy fix.
