Ruschin for Model Number wm1814cw Hello. The video on how to replace the pump was complete and well done. Thank You. The only concern I have is that when I took things apart I took a picture of the pump and wires before I disconnected. The old pump had the red wire going to the L on pump and the brown(black) to the N on the pump. The video had indicated these in reverse (Red to N and Brown/Black to L). Does this matter or determine which way the motor/pump spins? Also, everything is back together and working, get the new pump makes much more noise than the old one. A lot of loud humming and a intense vibration almost screaming at a specific point in each cycle. Didn't know if this is normal? Yet machine seems to be working. Thoughts?
Answer Ruschin, the line, and neutral placement does make a difference. You will want to ensure that the wires were placed on the new pump as they were on the old pump. If the wires were connected backwards, then this can cause more wear on the motor. In regards to the vibration, you may want to ensure that the drain pump and housing are secured fully as a loose fit can cause excessive vibration. Read More...
