MAH8700AWM Maytag Washer - Instructions

Took both the screws out on the top back. Lifted up the back about 1/2 inch and slid to the back. Reached into the front of the washer where the latch was connected. Disconnected the 3 wires (plugs) attached to the latch, took out the 3 screws located inside the washer door. Took a second person just to hold the latch and bring it out after the screws were off the front inside the washer door. Put new latch in, connected the wires, put in the screws behind the washer door (3 of them) and slid the top into place and put the screws in the back. Takes longer to tell you than to do it. Remember the screw on the left side front (top) as you face the washer and remove that screw. The plastic had disintegrated on mine but am not going to replace that part until I have to.

Coins sheared the impeller blades from the pump. I disconnected the power, removed the back panel, with pliers slide the hose clamp off the hose and remove hose...you will drain water from both hoses when removed (if washer is full of water be prepared for it all to drain)remove 2nd hose clamp and hose, with a 1/2 socket remove the 3 mounting bolts, and disconnect the power line from the pump remove old pump from mounting plate. Install new pump in reverse order.

Took the two screws out of the access panel on the back of the washer. Drain pump was just inside the access panel. Unplug electrical plug from pump. Take the clamps off the hoses and disconnect hoses. ( Lay towels inside around pump to catch excess water) Take a ratchet, extension, & socket and unscrew bolts from washer base. Unscrew pump from bracket. Put old bracket on the new pump and assemble everything back together opposite of instructions. Very easy fix. Thanks parts select. U saved my family time and a lot of money on repairs.
