Dustin July 11, 2013 for Model Number sav205daww Well I replaced both the drain hoses about two months ago so the only other explanation for the leak would be the water pump?
1 Answer Dustin If the drain hose has been replaced then yes the pump would be the most likely cause of the leaking issue. Read More...
Dustin July 11, 2013 for Model Number sav205daww My washer leaks during the spin cycle does this sound like a bad water pump or something else?
Allan H. May 15, 2013 for Model Number LW8253W My washer was smelling terribly so I replaced the original belt that was worn badly. It now runs quieter and less odors. We now get an occasional stink that smells like the water that drained from the pipes when I removed parts to replace the belt. Is this due to a worn pump not expelling enough water or some other problem?
1 Answer Hello Allan H. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like there is soap scum build up in the unit and you will need to clean the washer tub using washer cleaner. Read More...
John April 28, 2013 for Model Number amana distinctions washer model# dlw330raw I have to put a new belt on my washer due to the old one breaking. Must I also replace the water pump?
Doug March 29, 2013 for Model Number sav2655aww Am replacing the water pump. Is it correct that in order to do this, I must remove the motor and pump as an assembly and then replace the pump?
1 Answer Doug, Yes you would have to take belt off pulley and drop the motor to get the pump off. Read More...
Kevin January 31, 2013 for Model Number AWM593L My washer is leaking during the filling stage once it it a couple of inches in the tub. The hoses all seem ok and no signs of moisture on them. There is water sitting on the pump in the center near the shaft area (center of the donut area). Do you think that it is from the pump wearing out and needing replaced?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Check and see if the pump is leaking. If so, replace it. If not, you need to water the unit fill, with the front panel off, and look for the water leak in the unit to determine which part is bad on the unit. Read More...
Jeff September 21, 2012 for Model Number plwd70aw "Amana" Water was leaking out of the top of the drain pump so I replaced it with a new pump... Now it's leaking even more... Any ideas what to check next ?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. It sounds like you didn't get the pump installed properly or the hose are not on it good. Also, look for cracks in the hose or the tub assembly. Read More...
Dearhunter September 28, 2011 for Model Number sav205daww i took the three screws off the water pump but still wont come off the moter or shaft.
1 Answer Hello Dearhunter. If the screws are removed, you may need to use a straight blade screwdriver and pry the pump off the motor shaft. If it is rusted to the shaft, the pump can become very tight. Once removed, you will need to sand the shaft down, so the new pump 27001233 goes on easy. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jay September 10, 2011 for Model Number LSW01AW Hi, After I have taken the three star screws off, I have try to pry the pump off as you said. Its wiggles a little but does not come off. If there is nothing ales holding it together, What would be my next option? I do not want to bust the pump, if I can help it. Please advice.......
1 Answer Hi Jay. Sorry as if we were not clear enough on the last transaction, but you really need to pry hard. Even if you break it, if you have the new one, it dont matter. If you are concerned @ possibility of not needing to purchase a pump, then visually inspect the insides and make sure it is OK. I know you need to replace the belt. What is the exact model # for your unit? Thank you. Read More...
Jay September 06, 2011 for Model Number LSW01AW Hi, I have an old washing machine and the belt finally broke. I am in the process of replacing the belt. I have taken all three star screws out from the pump but the pump still will not come out, so I could slide the new belt around the pulley. Is there any other thing I need to take out for the pump to come apart? Please help.
1 Answer Hi Joe. The best thing to do is to use a black felt marker to mark the pump as it is still in place with the motor turned upside down. The motor shaft will rust so bad as you will literally need to pry (even bust), the plastic pump off the shaft. You will be gratefull to yourself by cleaning the motor shaft off and then using some grease on the shaft for future replacements. The pump is part # 27001233. Thank you. Read More...
