Replaced pump. All components are accessible from the front of the machine. You have to remove two screws in the back that hold on the top cover, then slide the cover back. This will allow access to the screws that hold on the control panel. Remove the control panel (unplug cable), then remove the spring/wire that holds on the door bellows to the front panel (removing and installing that is the most difficult part of the job) and carefully remove the bellows from the front panel. Then remove the screws holding on the front panel and carefully remove the front panel. You can now see all the components. My machine was 10 years old, so I also decided to replace the tub-to-pump hose, and the door bellows seal as well as the drum dampener pins and two of the dampeners. When replacing the bellows, also ordered the back spring and the front spring/wire, mine were badly rusted. There are several YouTube videos that show how to remove the front of the machine (look up Electrolux door seal (or bellows) replacement). Note, my front panel was attached with square drive screws. You can get those bits at most home centers. If your machine is older, I recommend opening the machine before ordering any parts, so you can see if you will require any additional parts to repair other worn components. The actual pump replacement is easy. The door bellows and spring re-installation is the most challenging part of the job.
