How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP5684706 / 137221600 Frigidaire Drain Pump

I have only good things to say about Appliance Parts Pros. I'm a landlord so I am always repairing an appliance and have only had great experiences with this company. Recently I had to repair a Kenmore stackable washer that would not drain and water spilled out when the door was opened. I looked up the model # and there happened to be a video which clearly explained what the problem was most likely and how to replace the drain pump. Seeing how there isn't much between the washer tub and the outlet hose except the pump, I put my order in for the pump and it came 2 days later, always quick shipping with these guys! The replacement went smoothly although my model was slightly different than the video, actually it needed less steps to get the job done. Unclamping the hoses to the pump and putting them back on again was the toughest part of the repair only because it was somewhat awkward to reach. In my case, the hardest part was getting my son to help me lift the dryer off the washer so I could get to the repair! It took a little over 90 minutes to finish including clean up. You will have water spill out of the pump during removal so have a couple of towels ready to soak it up. I've mainly bought Kenmore appliances in the past and have bought repair parts from Appliance Parts Pros to repair a stove for the ignitor, washer soap tray, dishwasher overheat sensor, washer water valve assembly, dryer bottom panel and a few more I've forgotten. Shipping is always fast and they have an unbeatable return policy. One of the main reasons I've used them in the beginning were their great videos that take most of the mystery out of how to repair relatively simple problems once they are explained. Keep up those videos APP because they are key to helping ordinary people like us save time and money. 

Replaced the part and it works great! 

Replaced it with part ordered from "Appliance Parts Pros". 

Replaced it, was pretty easy. 

I googled common problems that cause the machine to not properly spin out the clothes, and discovered that the washer can't get up to the proper spin speed when it hasn't drained. I pulled off the rubber boot amd found a bunch of change in there. Cleaned it all out, and took apart my pump and cleaned that, then put it all back together, and it still wasn't working properly. That's when I ordered a new pump. After replacing the pump my problem was solved. Side note: I used pliers to release the green metal clamps around the boot connectors. They were extremely difficult to get back into place with the pliers. Maybe use a tool that can hold them open for you so that you can work them back into place with two hands. 

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

Replaced the water pump 

First I changed the control board which I thought would fix the problem, since I ckd what other people did to solve same problem, I was wrong, needed a new pump so I changed that at the same time, pump works great, note when you change main board be careful of all the little springs that are in there, spent most of time looking for the springs that came out, both jobs took about 1 hr. upon further checking with customers spin problems came to the door latch, ordered that took about 15min to change, solved the problem, I don't think my washer ever spun so fast, I last thing had to change bracket that holds door boot in place , rusted 

We watched a you tube video on how to take the machine apart. Took it apart tuesday afternoon. Ordered the part from you. Got the part on thursday as promised and put the machine back together thursday afternoon. By late afternoon , I was using it and it works like new. Thanks for the quick delivery and great help by phone. I used the Affresh cleaner before using the machine and it really helped to clean the machine well also. Thanks again. 

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!
