Stephen B Germanton , NC January 11, 2017 Appliance: Model MAYTAG MAV6200AWW 20091652ZH After moving the washing machine to our new house water dripped into tub with machine off I replaced the fill valve assembly with a new one. Had to look carefully at the parts diagrams to make sure I ordered the right one since the serial number break old vs. new didn't seem to match the number on my machine. On this particular machine you don't need to pull it out too far from the wall-leave the hoses connected to the valve, remove the screw holding the valve bracket, and pull into the washing machine where you can easily access the hose ends. A putty knife is needed to open the top of the cabinet to access this valve. I had to do a little searching to find the right way to do it. The technique is to slide the putty knife in between the cabinet top and cabinet front and push the clip back while lifting the top slightly then repeat on other side while maintaining upward lift. Easy as pie once you know the trick. The 15-30 minutes rating I gave is the time it took to do the valve replacement once I had figured out the trick, and included getting the tools out. But total time invested including searching for how to open the cabinet was closer to two hours. I could probably do it in 10 minutes now, but that's how these things go. But I also spent 1/2 hour waiting to see if the drip reappeared, though I did other things during that time. Problem is fixed, I'm happy and so is my wife. I ordered new cabinet top clips to make sure the top would latch down securely and not rattle.

David P Oklahoma City , OK June 29, 2017 Appliance: Model MAV620AWW Bad drain pump & rusted top clip Hinged up the top of the washer, removed two screws that secured the front panel, tipped the machine backwards to remove the belt, unbolted the old pump and installed the new one. Reverse sequence to put it back together and it runs like a champ. Oh, and replaced both top clips with new ones.

Pierre O Metairie , LA July 11, 2016 Appliance: Admiral Top Loading Washer LATA200AAE The snubber ring was bad the machine could walk accross the room by its self New Snubber Ring solved the problem. Getting the six springs off and then back on was the hardest part of the project. I looked at another video (not yours) and the person put the springs in a vice bent it to the side and stuffed quarters between the loops I put 14 quarters in my spring and it made it much easier.
