David W Greenacres , WA October 18, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAV6000AWW Maytag Washer Mav6000aww: Bad water pump. How to replace Washer Drain Pump Assembly. I ordered the new water pump and it took only a few minutes to replace. Lift up the washer and remove the drive belt. Unscrew the 3 screws holding the pump to the washer floor and unhook the two hoses. Before disconnecting the two hoses, make sure either the washer is empty of water or have a bucket handy. To install the new pump just install the three base screws and hook up the two hoses (they were different sizes on mine so there was no way to mix them up). 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
