REPAIR GUIDE
Step by step
1
Confirm the pump is dead
If the filter is clean and the impeller will not spin, or the pump is silent on a drain cycle, replace it.
2
Disconnect power and water
Unplug the washer. Lay it on its back on a blanket so you can reach the pump from below or behind the front panel.
3
Unclip the hoses
Photograph the hose positions. Use pliers on the clamps, expect leftover water, then unplug the electrical connector.
4
Swap the pump
Remove the three screws holding the pump. Fit the new pump, reconnect hoses and the plug, then stand the machine up.
5
Test a drain cycle
Run a short drain. Listen for a smooth hum and watch the water leave.
