LAT3914AAL Maytag Washer - Instructions

The repair man shouldnt have opened his big mouth. He told me exactly what the problem was over the phone, but said he couldnt get to it for a few days. 20 minutes later I found the part and overnighted it to my house. Removed the back panel with a few screws. Couldnt have been easier.

After turning the water off and unplugging the machine, I took the front panel off the washing machine. I then slipped the belt off the pump sprocket. The pump was right in the front and easy to remove. All I needed was a screwdriver, for the hose clamps, and a 5/16" socket to remove the old pump. I then installed the new pump, with the existing screws, re-attached the 2 hoses, slipped the belt back on, and popped the front panel back into place. The new pump works great and the leak is gone. The whole job onlt took about 30 minutes.

After 9 days without electricity due to hurricane ike it was a great relief to wash our clothes. Thanks to my loving husband who took care of the problem same day we received the part. Disconnect the power he removed the control panel, removed timer knob, removed 2 bolts holding timer removed connector. Installed new timer reverse order & then connected the power. After that it worked 100 %

The hardest part was actually finding the right part. It was easy to take of the control panel. make sure you unplug and plug in the correct wires....

I thought that would be it, but after doing that you need to fine adjust the whole assembly so that the timers and automatic switches work well.

That's about it.

Washer originally purchased from Sears. Called Sears for repair. $65.00 to show up. Diagnosed the problem as a Bad belt and pump. Asked for approx. $250 to repair. I declined and ordered a belt and pump from PartSelect.com for half the cost. Took 10-15 minutes to install. Turned the washer on and put it through a drain cycle, it leaked all over the floor. Turns out the only problem was a cracked Outer Tub to Pump Hose. It took about 10 minutes to install. Whala, no leak. Now while I purchased an un-needed pump and belt from PartSelect.com, not their problem. Even though I purchased two items that were not required, the cost was still half of what Sears wanted to charge me for a repair that would not have fixed the problem. I will certainly continue to use and recommend PartSelect.com.

Removed the damaged legs, replaced with parts from this site and leveled the washer .

Lets just say thank god for part select!!!! # 1 By far. This was a one two three job.

Removed top. Removed agitator and tubs . Replaced seals and reassembled.

Easily

opened front of washer, removed motor, replaced glides and springs, installed motor and replaced belts. Installed new hoses and vacuum breaker. Its been a week now and no leaks or other problems.

Pried off the center cover on the setting knob with a screw driver, removed the "keeper" pin behind it with a screw driver, removed the knob, Spring and secondary knob behind the first knob simply pulling it off, removed two small bolts on the face of the control panel with 5/16" nut driver that was holding the "Timer" in place. Removed the front of the control panel (4 phillips screws on top)and unplugged the "Timer" and plugged in the new one. Reversed process. Very easy.

Cleaned the cavities. Lubed them with olive oil. Inserted one ball on left side, while holding tension against that side to hold the ball in the lid and top indentations. Applied olive oil to right hand side indentation, and placed the new ball into lid indentation. Put lid down into closure cavity with ball, and with lid vertical, began pushing it rearward so as toslightly spring metal lid rolled edge and top metal away from one another UNTIL the new ball snapped into the hinge indentation in the machine cover. Done.

My husband took the old water inlet valve off, and put the new one on, and it works great. Very easy to replace.

So Easy a Caveman could do it, remove knob cover, retaining pin, spring and knob. Undo the nuts, unplug the plugs. Replug the plugs, put the nuts back in put on the spring,knob and retaining clip. Put the pop in cover back on. Simple and runs like new.

Unplug from electrical outlet.Unscrewed control panel and laid it open. The switch is in 2 parts. Removed wires and unscrewed each switch. Put wires back on and tightened switch back to mounting plate. No brainer. Tried washer and worked perfectly. Two tips: Check fuse on plate to make sure it isn't burned out before ordering any parts. Secondly when installing if you have older model washer there is a nib that sticks up on mounting plate that keeps the switch from installing correctly. Cut this nib off with a wire cutter and then install. The directions don't mention that.
