WFW8300SW03 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Well first of all when you buy this washer, the salesperson should tell you about checking the drain catch (ahead of the pump) and emptying out whatever get's caught in there. Never had a clue until it wouldn't work, then did a search on the internet, and darn if I didn't find specific instructions on how to open and clean out. Mine was packed full of hair pins, small change, lint, buttons, etc, all kinds of stuff. Guessing that is why the pump went out in the first place, it was so packed full that the pump could not draw any water through. But even after I cleaned it out, the pump was already shot. So called a service man, he said the pump would cost me around $200, then his labor to put it in, plus a $68 service call to just come and look at it, and $68 when he comes back to replace it. So I searched the internet for how to replace, came up with a very detailed You Tube video on how to replace Whirlpool Duet Pump. So ordered my pump from PartsSelect, just over $100, and replaced it myself. Super easy, only about 5 minutes. Thanks! —A very determined housewife!

Did not need to move washer, but had full access to left side of washer. side of water inlet valve. 1) remove 3 screws holding top cover on, on top back of unit. 2) remove 1 torque screw holding water inlet valve to washer. 3) remove 2 solenoid electrical plugs on inlet valve, noting hot and cold side. 4) using pliers remove rubber tubing by removing clamp. 5) install new inlet and follow steps backwards.

pushed knob straight on to shaft and then wife and I applauded!

Just went by instructions provided by parts web site

The new drawer came and I took out the the detergent despensor piece from the old drawer and placed it in the new drawer and put the new drawer back into the washer. Now the front of the washer is complete. Good as new. Part also arrived in a timely manor too. Very pleased

It was real easy. I disconnected the wiring as shown in the video. I took the clamps off the drain pump , once off I slid the old drain pump off. I slid the new pump on , attached the hoses with the clamp provided and connected the wiring. Just follow the video and you will find it to be very easy! Thanks Parts Select for saving me money

took the old part out by the front panel and put the new pump in and now it works great. only took a couple of minute to put the new one in. thank you for saving my washer.

This part worked great! Completely fixed all the problems that I had with my washer. A bit hard to actually place it in(pliers are necessary) but otherwise very easy to install.

Followed instructions from a You Tube video. I'd recently lost my job and money is tight and I thought we could save money doing it myself. By watching the video and ordering parts from you we were able to save $500 between parts and labor. Thanks

the hardest part of the repair is having the confidence to pull all the screws and remove door etc. Dish soap was a good trick when I needed the last bit of the bellow to pop/stretch into place in step 1 of attaching the bellow.

Received water valve in three days, remove top on washer, removed old part and replaced valve with new one, real easy fix, any one could do this. PartSelect confirmed this was the problem and part I needed.

Replaced the pump assembly. The different type of clamp supplied in the kit was very helpful.

Just use the video. Shows you all you need to know. Very easy. Do it yourself and it saves you money.

I used the video at parts select as a review, then just followed it. Easy de-install, reminder there's water in the line be prepared with a pot or vase to hold the water. Easy install. Washer runs perfect now. As quiet as when we bought it. I always try to fix before I re-buy, not a big green guy but I try to keep stuff working and out of land fills. Also the part was at my door in 1 day, Awsome!.

After unplugging the washer, the unit was pulled forward and tipped backwards, I placed a 2x4 under the washer to serve as a brace. I removed the existing bolts holding the old pump in place, removed the spring hose clams, unplugged the pump and removed the damaged part. inserted the new drain pump, re-inserted the bolts and tightened them, replaced the spring clamps with "regular" hose clamps supplied with the replacement part, plugged in the power supply, removed the brace, pushed back the unit and plugged it into the outlet. From start to finish - about 20 minutes. Was running wash about a half hour after I started.
