2. Remove the two screws (one on each
side) that hold the control panel on. On some washers, you will see the screws
from the front, some you will have to snap a cover off to see the screws and on
some washers the screws will be on the back. 4. Once the control panel is hinged up, you should see two clips,
remove them. 5. In the center you should see a plug going into the case of the
washer, unplug it. 6. Once done you should be able to pull the case of the washer
(front, sides and top) over and off the base leaving nothing but the back and
tub. Buy appliance parts online and save.
7. Remove water pump by removing the two clips. Note that if you are
replacing the pump remove the hoses and install new pump but if you are trying
to access the motor or the motor coupling there is no need to remove the pump
hoses. Just move the pump over to the side and out of the way. 8. Remove the motor by removing the two clips (on most of these
washers the clips are secured with screws). Once the clips are removed the motor
should fall down. Once off you can remove the motor coupling from the
transmission and the motor to replace it.
