This took ten minutes .... super easy .... DO IT YOURSELF!!!! About 75.00 with shipping ... can only imagine this woulkd have been 250 to 300 to have somebody com e onsite.

Very easy repair, once I read the reviews and watched a couple of you tube videos. I just released the band holding the gasket in place, pulled it back, unscrewed the latch and installed a new one. Less than a 10 min job. I am glad I found this web site, thanks guys!!

My husband read on the Internet how common this problem is and how easy we could do it ourselves rather than pay the service etc.... While reading there was a link for Part Select. We simply found the part with-in minutes and ordered. They have PayPal so I basically ordered it in less than 1 minute, emailed my receipt and DONE! We selected overnight shipping because the laundry was piling up - we received the part less than 24 hours and I was up and running before dark! PERFECT!

I went to Maytag.com and typed in my model number and it came up with different parts I found the glass part I needed and ordered it. I received it in like 3 days. I had a phyllips screw driver and it the removal of the base around the glass replace the glass and screwed it right back on and started washing clothes. No leaks at all. I am a woman and proved woman can do the same things a man can do but quicker.LOL

Removed top cover. Manually opened door through top cover opening. Removed 3 screws at front holding assembly. Removed 3 harnesses attached to assembly. Replaced with new assembly and screwed back in. Replaced harnesses. Certainly an easy DIY job.

The product came on time and was perfectly rapped , it took me 15 mins to install after watching you tube videos on front loader washer . I was happy I didn't have to call a service man in . . . .

Of course, before starting any work always make sure your power cord is unplugged to begin with. Move the washing machine to an area with enough room to maneuver around as needed. Now, move around to the back of the washing machine and remove the two Phillip headed screws from the back panel. Push slightly up to pull the two bottom flanges out of their slots. Then pull out on the bottom of the panel which will remove it to allow you access to the inside of the washing machine guts. The drain pump is located directly inside and to the left being held down by three bolts with two hoses running from each side of it. Since there may be a bit of water stored inside the drain pump and hoses have a shop-vac ready to suck up any water that will otherwise go all over the place. If your washer has been down for a while that means sour disgusting mildewed water. Now, unplug the power cord on the top left of the pump and wedge it out of the way making sure it doesn't get wet. Use either a wrench or pliers to remove the three bolts that are holding down the base of the Drain Pump. Remove all of the screws that are holding the Drain Pump to the base. Flip it over to remove the last screw from the bottom. Twist the Drain Pump slightly to move the notches to be able to remove the Drain Pump from the base. Reverse this process to place the new Drain Pump on the base and into the washing machine. If you purchased a Drain Pump with a whole new base already on it then you just have to remove the three bolts and place the new drain and base in. This job is a very easy fix and would have cost you around $300 to $400 dollars having a repair man order the part and come out and do the work. I know because I asked a repair man how much he would charge me for this job. So save your money and fix the easy jobs yourself. Just don't tell my wife it was easy. HaHa!

Ordered new pump from Parts Select. Pump arrived within 2 days. Removed back cover off washer, 2 screws. Took 2 hoses off pump. Removed pump bracket and pump, 3 bolts. Took less than 2 minutes to remove old pump off bracket and replace new pump. Put everything back together and machine works great and water is out of clothes. Price of pump was the lowest I could find and I couldn't be happier with Parts Select quick response and price.

I read what others wrote and put two and two together and 15 mins. later I was up and running. lots to take apart but it all went smooth and no left over parts washer runs like new again

I simply followed manufacturers direction from the service manual that I had purchased. I removed the cover from the back of the washer, removed the old belt and put the new belt on. The old belt was certainly stretched and putting the new belt on simply required that I walk the new belt on to the pulley and then adjust the belt to the center of the pully. The end result was a washer that now spins as it did when new.

Used online video which was really good. After changing the lever, I realized I needed to order a new latch because it was broken also.

Unplug electric. Open door. Peel rubber bladder back from washer door seal enough to expose wire retension ring. Remove three screws that hold door latch. Remove latch. Remove three wire harnesses. With new latch, reattach wire harnesses. Insert latch. Secure to machine with the three screws. Refit door seal and secure with retension ring. Plug in electric. Done.

I followed the guy on the video. The only parts that were tough was having the right tools and having enough space to put the new part in. The part was only 70 dollars and I was so proud that I could do it. I am not very handy so if I can do it then anyone can. Plus I saved some money!
