Thomas P Raleigh , NC April 09, 2014 Leaky direct drive pump With much trepidation, I Googled leaking washing machines and deduced that our problem was likely (but not certain) that we needed to replace the direct drive washer pump. After viewing the AppliancePartsPros video, I decided that ordering the $30 part was worth the risk (vs a $120 plus service call). The pump arrived w/in 2 days and my wife and I experienced an enjoyable bonding experience installing it :). But it's now working great and there is no leak. ... Kudos to AppliancePartsPros for a great video that enabled me to replace the part w/o too much effort, and saved us at least $100!

Timothy S Laurel , MS March 25, 2017 Water leaking on floor during every wash. I propped the washer up and found where the leak was coming from. The drain pump is easy to take off and easy to install. I used a flathead screwdriver to pop the metal clips off. I used pliers to take the hose clamps off. The installation was just as easy.

Timothy Q Plainfield , IL August 02, 2014 Appliance: Model LSB6500PWO Water leaking from bottom of whirlpool ultimate care ii washer It was a simple fix. Flipped over the unit, checked out my hoses were in good shape, and moved on to the washer pump. Bought it here on this website, watched the installation video, and had it replaced in no time! No more leaks! I've never taken apart a washing machine, but the "how to" videos make it a snap.

Michael S Naples , NY August 30, 2014 The washing machine was leaking water underneath The repair was surprisingly simple. Once I tilted and supported the washing machine up in the front and ran it, I discovered water profusely leaking from around the water pump. The water pump was quite easy to remove, only needing the inlet and output water hoses removed and the two clips snapped back. This was done with the front of the washer tilted up and supported. The water pump went on easily in reverse order, and voila! Problem solved.

Kenneth L Telford , PA October 16, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer LSC5000PQ2 Washing machine not draining completely I searched YouTube and found several videos that helped me diagnose the most probable cause. I learned how to open the cabinet and access the parts from the videos. I ordered a new discharge hose and a replacement pump. The parts came in the next day with the standard shipping option! It turned out that the old discharge hose was blocked. I decided to replace the pump also since I had the machine open and the new pump was only $22. It's amazing what you can learn online!
