Pro TJ725RBFFP Washer Fill Hoses OEM Part

Motor control board was flashing 4 times, indicating that the mode shifter had an error. I disconnected the mode shifter's wire from the controller and measured the resistance between the 2 leads with an ohmmeter. Since the reading was infinite, that meant that the mode shifter coil or in-line thermal sensor was electrically open, i.e. bad. As this fix is near a complete tear-down of the washing machine, here are a few tips I discovered. 1) the hub nut is difficult to remove and you need a spanner wrench; however, since the mode shifter shaft has 4 flats on it (one on each side, square) - I used a small exacto knife to scrape the gunk out of the small void between the shaft and hub nut. Mine had white/yellow soap scum in all 4 voids and I am sure this would make it much harder to remove the hub nut if not removed as much as possible. When this gunk was removed, I then used some wicking fluid, which worked much more effective now and I only had to let it sit for 20 minutes. I used Tri-Flow, which is similar to WD-40. 2) my tube seal was pretty gunked up and stuck in the tub basket. Thus, I used a small pair of vise-grips to grap it from the inside and then rocked the vise-grips back and down, which popped the old seal right out. Note, the new shaft and mode shifter comes with a new tub seal and it is pre-packed with grease on the inner area that touches the shaft. Note, I used a very tiny bit of this grease to lube the outside of the tube seal when I pushed it down into the plastic tub and I read others who used a touch of dish soap instead. 3) also, my large belt wheel was stuck on the shaft - a quick tap on the end of the shaft with a hammer loosened it right up and no need to worry about damaging the shaft or bearings, as this is being replaced. 4) my tub bearing was also vey tight in the plastic basket. I used a bit of wicking spray here too, and used 2 flathead screwdrivers to pry the bearing up and out. I leveraged against the raised plastic ribs of the tub basket and didn't worry about marking those up a bit, as they are support ribs and away from the main slot/hole that holds the tub bearing. However, I did take care to make sure that my screwdriver tips did not hit or mark-up this slot/hole. 5) since I had everything apart, I took the opportunity to clean the basket, drum, etc. I also marked the motor bracket with respect to the plastic tub as well as anything else that seemed variable and that I could forget when reassembling. I also took pictures as I was disassembling in steps, so that I could ensure everything went back together correctly, etc.

Replaced stuck open water inlet valve and installed new hoses as they had not been done for awhile. repair was quite simple and parts fit great

We tend to be intimidated by things we don't know or understand. Having said that, Appliance Parts Pros made tackling this repair easy. Replacement parts where an exact match and watching the videos (on this website or others) take you step by step. Appliance Parts Pros has helped me through the rebuild of our Kenmore dryer and now our Kenmore washer. Why pay for an appliance repair (or pay ridiculous money) for a new appliance? Spend a little time researching and it will pay off. I am not a professional in any sense of the word. Just an average homeowner looking to save money. (There's even a little trick to getting those stubborn corroded water lines off, research it)

I watched the video on what to do to disassemble the machine to get the part off. I was amazed at how simple it was to do. The hardest part was finding my tools! I am a single 60 yo female and I am all about diy. Thank you for your services. It saved me lots of repair costs and will use your site in the future.........

I replaced the Washer Drive Motor and both belts. It was an easy fix and the online video was very helpful.
