How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6008714 / WP356138 Spring Tension Hose Clamp

I found that turning the water level switch back and forth would activate the machine So I replaced the water level switch and the plastic hose that connected to it. I purchased a clamp in the purchase, but it was the wrong size! There wasn't a clamp used in the original set up, so I installed the switch and hose without it! It was the video instructions and having the correct parts that made that made this a easy repair! Thank You 

I bought the part from AppliancePartsPros.com. Removed water inlet hose. Removed water outlet hose. Removed water inlet valve which was held on with one screw. Replaced the water inlet value. Reattached both hoses. It leaked a little bit, so I had to put plumbing tape and really make it tight. Then the leaked stopped. 

Bought the parts and connected same...a breeze in finding and receiving and eventually installing these parts. 

First tried to clean the filter, did not fix the problem. Replaced the water pump. 

Diagnosed it as the pump. Impeller was detached from the shaft. Ordered new pump from the website midday, it arrived the next morning. Fixed within 15 minutes. 

Followed the instructions on a YouTube video from Whirlpool and purchased the parts from ApplianceParsPros.com (actually called and got specific help for the hose and clamp and retainer and confirmed they were correct for my washer). 

The unit's display indicated a specific "Fault". Upon inspection, the indication was correct; Pump Motor failure. Using this EXCELLENT site, I was not only able to order the correct part, but also to watch a very nice DIY video. And, YES, trying to get the clamps back on the hoses DOES take more time than I wish to state. If it wasn't for the intricacy of 1.) puttng the hose in place , 2.) keeping the clamp "OPEN" , and 3.) sliding the clamp OVER the hose, all while kneeling on the floor, and trying to keep a light on the whole process, it would've been a BREEZE. 

I ordered the Drain Hose (not the one that was original - that was not made anymore) We ordered one that was suggested for this washer. 

Ordered and put in a new water pump. 

Purchased new hose and spring clamp. The only issue encountered was the hose was 9ft when 6ft was all that was needed. Solved by cutting the hose to length.
