Helmut D Rancho Palos Verdes , CA April 20, 2020 Appliance: Electrolux Washer EIFLW55HMB0 E21 water not pumping out fast enough (eiflw55hmb washer) 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.

Michael Y Cerritos , CA November 16, 2014 The washer boot had a small tear in it after 8+ years of use Got to the website, and couldn't figure out the correct replacement part, so I asked the online chat support. The rep was extremely friendly and helpful, and got me the correct part. The installation was pretty straightforward after watching a couple of Youtube installation videos. The only hard part was putting back the spring band around the part to hold it in place. I have a load of clothes going right now, and it looks like the seal is tight and everything is back to normal. Thank you!

Chad W Webster , NY November 23, 2014 The washing machine boot had a tar in it causing water to leak outside the front of machine I replaced the old boot with a new one. Removing the old boot isn't hard but, when installing the spring around the back off the boot you need another set of hands. The spring is very tight when installed. Takes about 1 hour to do.
