Frigidaire 131784700 Washer Sump Hose OEM Part

I changed the pump and also discovered the coin trap was wearing thin because it was rubbing against the sheet metal. So I replaced that as well. It took about 15 minutes to remove the coin trap and pump and about 20 minutes to install. The shipping was amazingly fast. I received the parts the next morning. I'm talking I ordered the parts before noon, chose the "fast shipping" option and received parts the next morning around 8:30 AM.

Removed access panel. Dried everything, Ran spin cycle and found the leak from boot/hose. ordered part, replaced part - FIX!

These tub to pump hoses have three connections and are very different between models. the hardest aspect was figuring out what model of washer I had ,which could not be located on the washer itself. Had to use the user manual. The spring clamps are strong and you need goose neck pliers. I finally gave up and bought two 1.5 inch band clamps to complete the job as there is very little room to move under the machine. the great thing about the band clamps is that can open them and re-close them around the hoses. I used a cordless drill and 5/16 nut driver. I also purchase a selector knob and installed that too.

The old hose was fixed to the three (3) water connections with spring clips. The old hose was removed and the new one was installed with hose clamps instead of the spring clamps. I think the hose clamps are easier to tighten compared to having to hold the spring clamps open with a pair of pliers. The hard part was finding the part. Since I have used ApplicancePartsPros on other occasions, I was gratified to see that, once again, I could depend on them for a part for an older applicance.

I called a repair company to diagnose my the leak from my washer. The tech charged me $125 and told me the sump pump was leaking. He said he could order the part which would cost $67 and would come in two weeks. He said he would only charge $50 in labor to install it. Well two weeks seemed very long so I went on line and watched a video on how to do the repair. While watching it I discovered it would be a good idea to replace the shocks at the same time. It looked like a repair I could accomplish. I then looked at AppliancePartsPro and found out I could get the sump hose for about $37 and could get it within 5 days. I also found the shock absorbers for about the same money. So I was going to get both parts for the same price I would have paid for the sump hose and I didn't have to pay for the labor. The parts came within 4 days and as I started the repair, I discovered that one of the shock absorbers had broken and may have been the cause of the sump hose failure. Anyway, after a couple of mis-starts, and skinned knuckles I was able to complete the repair. I am a very satisfied AppliancePartsPro customer. In the future I will try to diagnose problems on line and skip the diagnosis cost.
