Great video, however I just saw another internet video that avoids removing any panels. Instead, you disconnect the power and two water lines feeding water to the washer (at the washer). Drain the filter tube. Remove the cover in the filter tube area (as shown in this video). Then position the washer so you can tilt it backwards approximately 30-45 degrees; enough to allow you access unearth the washer. Then remove the three screws in the front of the pump (if all three are present, mine weren’t) and the screws underneath. Then you can remove the pump and all attached parts easily from underneath. The biggest caution is bracing the washer so that when you tilt it, it cannot slide and fall. Mine is leaning against the wall.
Is 12:30 at night, I’m female and have never worked on a washer before but, my drain pump went out and husband keeps telling me he will get to it. LoL. I stopped holding my breath and found your tutorial and it’s helping me a lot so thank you. I still haven’t figured out how to take a screw from the bottom piece off because is so tight but I’m working on it.
See if a bigger phillips screw driver can help with the tight screw. At the same time push in and turn counter clockwise. Sometimes a screw can be to tight.
Followed these steps and it was so easy. Thank you so much for this video, you explained everything perfectly. I now have a working washer for the price of a new pump (about $50) and a couple hours of my time. Thanks again.
