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

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

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. 

Replaced the drain pump. Best customer service I have ever experienced and fast delivery 

Replaced the drain pump on the washer. Converted the dryer to LP gas. Great parts. 

I replaced the drain pump assembly. 

I called AppliancePartsPros.com and they helped me with everything. Including a video to repair it with. Thanks. 

Our washer started making an awful loud scraping/grinding noise for about a month. I knew from research that it was probably the drive belt on the bottom or one of the pulleys. Last week I opened the washer to find it full of water yet. I then knew that it was the pump that was the culprit. Ordered the new assembly and received it in 2 days. Installation of this part was very simple. I found a video on youtube from fix.com that showed how to disassemble the washer to access the pump assembly. It was very easy. I pushed in the lid spring locks using a putty knife and swung the lid up, then removed the 5/16 screws holding the front panel on. After removing the front panel I unfastened the pump assembly's 3/8 inch bolts from the frame. Doing this first makes it easier to maenuver the hoses to a bucket to drain any remaining water that may still be in the tub. Unhook the tub hose and be ready for a rush of water if there was water in the tub. It comes out quick. After the water is drained from the tub hose do the same for the drain hose. Also pour any remaining water out of the old pump assembly and dispose of the assembly. Hook the new assembly back up in reverse order, put the washer back together and test.
