How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6008659 / WP35-6465 Washer Drain Pump Assembly

Replace. Test 

Easy fix took about 15 min total my husband is wonderful at fixing 

I watched your video on the repair and followed the instructions .it was an easy fix ! 

CHANGE DRAIN PUMP/ UNSCREWED THE SCREWA , INSTALL NEW PART AND INSTALLED SCREWS- AND LAST INSTALL THE BELT. DONE 

Replaced the drain pump. Replaced belt at the same time. 

Had to unplug the washer, siphon the water out, remove the wet clothes, then detach and drain the water inlet hoses and outlet drain hose. I walked the washer away from the wall. I used a putty knife to release the latches on the washer top, had my daughter hold the lid up while I remove the two screws that secured the front panel, and then pulled the front panel off its tabs and set aside. I used a step ladder to lean the washer back to remove the drive belt. Then I put the washer back on the ground and removed the 3 screws securing the drain pump to the base. I stuffed towels in the washer to catch any water left in the hoses before using pliers to remove the clamps and then slid the inlet and outlet hoses off the drain pump. Installation was reversal of removal. 

Ordered drain pump, snubber ring and belt. Repair was pretty easy though due to our age, (over 70) it took us a bit longer than it should have. 

Order in replaced drain pump and top load door hinge. 

This was an old maytag washer. Unhook the drive belt. Removing water pump via back panel required releasing two hose clamps, and removing 3 screws. Remove unit. Replace. Put back screws and clamps. Easy. 

I have an older Magic Chef washer and dryer set. I had water leaking out from under the washer so I went to your website which diagnosed the problem easily. I ordered a drain pump and hose . I saw the belt was worn so I ordered a new drive belt. All of these things were easy fixes. So far there has been no water leaking out from under the washer. Great self help videos and fast service. My washer is over 25 years old and still going strong. The older ones were built better than the new ones so I’ll replace every part that I can still get as it fails. Rebuilding the old is better than a new purchase as far as I’m concerned.
