MHWE500VP01 Maytag Washer - Instructions

After receiving the hinge and screws, I watched the on line video at the website. I removed the door and hinge from the washer, removed the hinge from the door and re-installed the new hinge. The entire process took less than 15 minutes and reattaching the new hinge to the machine was a breeze. The replaced hinge is smooth as silk and all is back on line. Great service from the crew at this site. Shipping was very quick (ahead of the scheduled arrival) and the CSR was very cordial and professional.

removed bottom panel and took out pump and replaced it with new one

Was able to remove old bellow without dis-assembly. Replacement required removing the front of the machine for access. Once the front was off, the bellow was simple to replace. Biggest difficulty is getting the top mark on the bellow lined up. It has a tendency to slip out of position while you are working the back of the bellow over the retaining lip and it is not possible to rotate the bellow after it is installed. Fortunately, the tube from the detergent tray can be rotated slightly to allow for a small amount of error. Replacing the front retaining wire and spring required three hands at one point, but was otherwise not a problem. Fortunately removal and replacement of the front of the machine is pretty straight forward. I needed to disconnect wires to set the front out of the way, but it is impossible to plug them back in incorrectly.

My husband removed the bottom panel of the washer and removed the old pump with two screws, then removed the water hose coming into the pump and unplugged the electrical push in type plug from the side of the pump. Simple reversed the process to instal the new one and replaced the front panel. Simple really...far more so than calling a repair man.

My husband and son removed the old pump and replaced it with the new pump assembly. The whole process took about 30 minutes max.

It was so easy my wife replaced the part.

simple repair. After reading other reviews my husband was confident he too could do the repair. He was right, we were so very glad not to have had to call for service.

I just took off the old part and installed the new one. The new part was a bit different.

Remove old belt, rotate large washer belt wheel, guiding belt off large wheel.
Guide new belt onto Washer Large Wheel. Use a pair of pliers to hold belt onto wheel as one turns the large washer belt wheel, guiding belt onto wheel. Note belt will be tight. Seems like belt will not fix but keep going it will fit, you might even hear it pop on.
Old Part number (W10116215) new replacement Part number (W10388418).
New replacement washer belt fits tight, that is ok.

Easy fix,
I remove the front lower panel and the shocks where right in front of you , with a little twist with an adjustable wrench the cam right off . I removed and the replaced and it the same when you remove the back panel.
P.S when installing the shocks start by connecting to the bottom and then connect to the drum it will make it lot easier.
Good luck on your repair

I had to cut new slots in the metal base of the machine cabinet to accommodate the different configuration for the rubber boot assembly. Thankfully the new pump works like a charm.
