Frigidaire 134616300 Washer Hose Clamp OEM Part

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.

Change new tub seal and clamp.

Replaced the Bellows and Clamp. Spring was still usable. Damage was due to clothes being trapped between the lid and the bellows. During the wash cycle they twisted into a knot that pulled the spring into the machine. Bending the spring and tearing the bellows. Watched a video on youtube that showed the basic steps. Definitely need a second set of hands to replace spring as it requires a lot of stretching. Also used a clamp to hold one portion of it in place as we worked our way around. Ordered parts and was pleasantly surprised that they arrived the next day even though I chose the standard 3 to 5 day shipping.

Replaced door gasket with new one.

Using the instructions from the web site Appliance Parts Pro- I was able to remove the old one and replace it with the new Washer Tub to Pump drain Hose. Also, realized that it should be cleaned at least once a year to prevent problems. The clamp for around the washer door boot seal however was larger than the original.
