How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP3837322 / 134455900 Tub To Pump Hose

We had a power surge that tripped the washer breaker. It showed an E23 error code so I replaced the main control board (part number AP4362398.) All washer activity back to normal except it still wouldn't spin and still had E23 code. I removed the tub to pump hose (part number AP3837322) to find all sorts of goodies inside such as underwires from bras, a quarter, nickel, penny, and dime stacked perfectly on top of each other inside the filter, and tangled yarn from a rug. Ended up replacing the tub to pump hose since the underwire from the bras punctured the hose in several places. Washed several loads and so far so good. 

After removing the bottom panel, I found that the machine was leaking from a torn drain hose (or more commonly referred to as the "boot"). I was able to easily remove the three clamps that held the hose in place and found the hose had collected many coins over time that were left in clothes! I immediately looked up the part at Applicance Parts Pros and easily found the part that I was looking for (all I needed to supply was the Make and Model No.). I ordered the part on a Sunday night and received it early Tuesday morning.I am always amazed at how quickly Appliance Parts Pro fills the order. Tuesday afternoon I was installing the part and back in laundry business. A job that would have cost me over $150.00, I was able to repair in less tat 30 mins. Thank You Appliance Parts Pro!!!! You are the best! Cathy, North Kingstown, RI 

Replace drain pump and the tub-to-pump hose (with filter) 

Order part, replace parts. 

The pump on our 15-year-old washer was replaced due to noise since it is located within our living area. Because the washer model was different than displayed in the DIY video, I simply had to loosen two screws to access the area. The video shows a more complex situation that would have made the repair very difficult since the dryer is stacked on top of the washer. The disassembly of the hose and removal of the pump was quick. Installing the pump is easy, but getting two of the hoses for the tub to pump hose reattached was tricky due to the two spring clamps. In the end, it's highly recommended to use a small locking plier (Vise-Grip) to hold spring clamps open rather than trying to squeeze regular pliers as shown in the video Careful attaching the upper vent hose connector which is secured to the tub with a thin piece of plastic and be sure that the small black hose (leads straight up) at the top of this connector is slid back into place within a clip on the washer tub or it will slap against the enclosure making a disconcerting noise during the spin cycle if is not secured. A new hose was bought as a precaution. The original hose looked okay. After the assembly, with the access door still open, I ran a rinse and spin cycle to confirm the operation. There were no leaks and the pump was much quieter. Worth the time! 

I went on appliancepartspros.com and watched some videos about how to get inside and find the leak. An object had punctured a hole in my drain gasket. When I took it off I found two keys and $1.85 in change. I cleaned it out and ordered a new gasket. It was here in 2 days. Got it fixed in about an hour. 

Replaced Drain Pump, drain hose & filter. Now it works great! Previously I replaced the door catch sensor because some people said this was a common issue for not starting but that didn’t help, then I realized I could check for error codes. The hardest part of the project was getting the hose clips on and off. There was a lot of water in the hoses luckily I had two old towels ready. 

After getting the water out, I figured it was the drain pump. I got the pump out to find the impeller “blade” was mangled and broken away from the shaft. After punching the model number of our washer into appliancepartpros.com website, I found the parts super quick. I got the parts delivered in a couple days and they happened to come while I was on my lunch break. I got everything put back together in about fifteen minutes and fired the washer up. IT WORKED! 

I pulled the bottom access plate off, ordered a drain boot and filter prior to starting the repair. Pulled off the drain boot, there was no filter basket installed.. The pump turned freely, so I installed the 2 new parts, ran on medium spin and the washer ran fine. Issue is with high speed spin.. but the 1 day shipping and video help me work on my own unit. 

The tub drain hose on my front load washer had a small hole in it (kids!). I bought the replacement part and replaced the hose. On this model this part has three openings, two of which are held on with spring clamps. The spring clamps were a total nightmare to deal with. They were in a hard to access area, and to get them on properly one-handed while blind, was just no fun. I would suggest using something else to keep the hose in place. Other than that though the part wasn't hard to replace, right at the front of the machine behind the service panel. Fixed the leak. Happy days!
