7MWFW97HDBD0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

I hit spin and drain cycle. Disconnect the power cord from the wall. Remove the back cover. Stuck a bowl under the filter/ strainer. Unscrewed the filter/strainer let the rest of the water drain. Disconnect the pump /drain hose. Disconnect the wire harness from pump and removed the pump bolts. Replaced the pump reassembled.

I thought it was the pump and ordered one. After I ordered it I decided to look up online how to get the error code. Itsaid to push any three buttons (except off and on)
In a row in succession twice. So one two three one two three. Walla! It worked. The codes popped up on the panel. I looked the codes up online. Itsaid the codes meant the hot and cold water were not filling at the same rate and the washing machine by default shut the system down and has only the pump run for 8 minutes.
The remedy - turn the dial to a new setting. It worked!! Once I turned the dial all the lights came on and the machine was back to normal. Unfortunately when I called part select a few hours after I order the part there was no answer and they shipped the part express the next day. They are letting me return it but only partial payment of what I paid. About one third of my cost and I had to pay return shipping of $13.00.

My washer started flashing the code E1-F9 one day mid-cycle and locked the clothes inside. Google suggested this could be a pump filter issue and I tried at first to clean out the filter as suggested. (on this model, you have to take the back off to reach the filter.) This didn't solve the problem, but since I could now clearly see how it pumped, I noticed nothing was pumping out through the hose and bought the pump part.
This is an easier job if you can tip the entire washer on its side and haven't set it up as a stacked unit (which I had). Disconnect all power sources first and the outflow hose. Two of the four bolts that need to come off are in the front and all of them needed a drill's power to pull them out. For at least three of the bolts I'd recommend an extension on the drill bit, but I didn't have room for this since I tipped the entire stacked unit on its side.
After that, I was done in less than 10 minutes and the bolts drilled in formed the seal so it didn't leak. It worked and it's pumping.
But! This model seems to have a lot of other issues. Mine will only work on Heavy load without flashing other error codes, and it never washes in the fabric softener... that just sits there.

Removed the old hoses and screwed on the new hoses.

First, the repair manual is under the top cover. From the manual, I found that my problem E1 F0 (I think) was one of two possible issues, the drain pump or level switch. I bought both parts and replaced them and the issue is no more. The repair went very easy. You remove the rear cover and top. The pump is located in the bottom bay of the machine. The only issue I had was that the machine had the drawer unit, which blocked the access panel under the machine and made installation and removal a little more difficult. The best way is to tilt the machine forward to reach the bolts, a small ratchet set works nicely. The level switch is on the right side, toward the rear. This part slides out, and the wires are keyed, so they only go in one way.

So I was unable to get my model number so I took the hinge off the washer and was able to order the part. Before removing the hinge I used a marker and marked the hinge location on the washer. Once I got the part I removed the T15 screws on the inside part of the door and separate the pieces. I was able to remove the white tube for all 4 of the pins and put them on the hinge. I installed the hinge an then i put the front door pieces back together again while it was laying on the floor. I though I put it in wrong but I was correct. Once i had the hinge on the door and the door reassembled, I was able to attached the hinge to the washer. The hinge comes off the washer by pushing up on it and to reinstall you push down. I tighten the 4 T25 screws using the marks on the washer and the door is alligned correctly. I am able to close the washer door with one finger instead of my whole hand.

Disconnect electrical plug. Remove rear panel from washer. Remove drain hose. Open filter on pump unit to drain water from washer ( use a catch pan to catch water) remove drain hose from drain pump unit. Remove electrical connector. Remove 4 mounting bolts. Remove drain pump assembly. Install new pump in reverse order. Once washer is assembled. Pour about a quart of washer into the drum so as not to run the drain pump dry. Enjoy your repaired washer

An easy job- hardest part was moving the machine away from the wall - ours is stacked with dryer on top.

Once we pulled it away from the wall:
1) remove back cover with a screwdriver (I used a driver to make this easier)
2) unclamp the drain hose from drain pump and drain excess water into a shallow pan
3) unplug the electrical connection from drain pump
4) use a wrench to remove the 4 hex screws holding the drain pump to the drum
5) pull down the drain pump from drum
6) repeat above in reverse to install new pump

Two people to screwdrivers, stretching the spring out and around and that’s the last part to go on

replace the door lock with the parts i ordered

Took sometime to figure out the problem. A little difficult to replace part partly due to the drain pump with filter’s location in the washer. Mine is on its lower right rear. It’s reachable and yet difficult. Good luck!

Removed the back panel removed the drain pump installed new one

Desarme la puerta y coloque la nueva con mucha facilidad, nunca reparé un electrodoméstico antes de este, seguí el diagrama que encontré en el sitio para elegir la pieza que se rompio

I followed your repair video explicitly, simple fix. However, one should
be careful when disconnecting the two prong electrical connector from
the heat sensor. the two black wires can pull free easily. In that case, the
rear of the female plastic wired connector must be extracted to allow the two black wires to be "pushed" into the narrow slot which displaces the
wire insulation and allows for a good electrical connection. If a punch tool is not available a pair of needle nose pliers works. Also, observe
the orientation slots on both the male andfemale connectors - they
connect one way only! I set the washer on it's face while effecting this
repair to better see what I was doing (eyesight not as good as it used to be). Thanks for the timely support!

I am still waiting for the correct part to arrive, I was sent a part but it was the wrong part, the wrong part number and it was nothing that would work on a washing machine. I think someone else ended up with my part and I got theirs.
