This video, as well as others in this series, have been super helpful in enabling me to help out some elderly neighbors who can't afford professional repair services. I volunteer the labor and they just pay for the parts (when I can, I throw parts in, as well). Thanks for helping me, help others!
Repairing appliances for our church members is a ministry. This video, along with a couple of others, helped me help an elderly member with her old model Kenmore. Thanks, guys - made me look like a pro!!
This was far and away better than most how-to videos on UA-cam! Only improvement I would have liked to see was better visibility of how to get those top panel screw covers off
This video was extremely helpful! I fixed my washer in 30 min! I didn't think it was the switch, so I pulled the outside of it off and checked the pump. The pump had a sock in it. Pulled it out, put it all back together and it works perfectly. Thank you!
My first washer repair. I thought I was going to have to buy a new washer, not worth paying a repairman to fix a 9 year old machine. I watched this video and decided to give it a try. The pump came right off with no pressure. When I filled it with water it leaked out pretty quick. I spent $39.99 on a new pump and the install was as easy as taking it apart. Problem solved and I feel pretty good about doing it myself. Thanks for the video, it made my day.
Solid video boys. Got an old gently used hand me down washer with a lot of life left in it, but it started peeing. Glad this information is still our here! Thanks!
This was very useful - however, if there is a little pile of rubber shavings under the washer you probably will need to replace the coupling as well - as you have got the water pump off it is not much more of a job to remove the motor and check that coupling - if it looks worn might just as well replace at the same time.
This video was a great help to me recently. I'd like to add that if the clips are really hard to reinstall, there are a set of dog ears on the top/bottom of the pump that makes the job of prying the clips back on much easier.
GREAT VIDEO I have watched quite a few videos on UA-cam about changing out the pump on a top loader washer I have to say this is the best video thank you very much
Haha, I was so dumb to not look for a video how to replace the pump. Took off the back first, disengaged all kinds of wires. It was fun until I ran the washer and flooded the laundry room because the water level silicone tubing had a loose end. Great video, wish I had watched it before having too much fun.
I took the motor pump off and it doesn’t appear to be clogged. It spins when I put my finger inside it to manually move it. Could it still be broken or could it be the actual motor powering it? I’ve already replaced the lid switch, that didn’t work. Thanks for the vid
PS make sure you have a container under that pump when you remove the rubber connectors - gently ease off the lower hose and allow the water to drain out - there is sure to be a fair bit in there!!
I am unable to understand how to put the body back. Does all the body go on top of the frame. Also you show how easy it is to just set it on. On my washer the sides flare open when I push one side in the other comes off. What am I missing
Can you consider doing a video on water leakage from a vacuum line? I'd love to know how that diagnosis is made...Whirlpool washer top load if possible.

Hi, thanks for the video. I replaced my washer pump and checked the hose for any clogs. It still won't drain. Any suggestions of what might be the problem?
It could be a few things, not sure I can cover it all here. Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/

I replaced the pump and put everything back together and then started a load of laundry and my washing machine started to violently shake back and forth on the spin cycle which it had never done before. I don’t know what to do but all I did differently was replace the pump. The machine is level as well so it’s not unbalanced.
and saved me from hiring someone to diagnose the issue and from buying a new motor (the first idea for a solution). My problem was my 2 year old wash would not drain and or spin.
It could be the pump impeller was damaged by the sock. Pull the pump off then put a big screwdriver in the motor shaft spot. Then try and turn the pump while holding the impeller. If the impeller does not turn with the shaft you probably need a new pump. Also check all the other hoses for clogs.
my kenmore needs pump, its 30 years old and i think my part # now is too old because my model # is not getting any info. my model# is 110 4225090, is there a new number that can match this one so i can get the right part. please would like your advice.
The model number does not come up so either it is too old or it is incorrect. If you have a direct drive washer like the one in this video then it is a good chance that this is the correct pump. This pump was used on most of the direct drive washers back then. If your pump has larger hoses and a check vale then this may not be the correct one.
+Judi Mott It should be most Ropers are made by Whirlpool. You can go to our website and enter your appliance model number to view the parts breakdowns to be sure you get the correct part for your model.
Appliancepartspros sells defective parts, no one answers their phones, and they refuse to replace parts. sent video of defective parts. they did not care. AVOID AT ALL COST

This video helped me repair my washer. I had something clogged in the water pump. Was able to repair pump and fix washer. Thanks so much.
So simple great you got yourself a follower
Evan Robinson- Glad the video helped you get the appliance repaired!

Glad we could help, and thanks for the additional tip!
I’m going to try this. I have a 1990s Kenmore 70.
YES! Found a whole sock in the water pump. Great DYI videos.
Good job on fixing it yourself, glad the video helped out!
Was very helpful. knew it was the pump but thus help me pull it and fast, remove the sock from the pump and but it back . Thanks!
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!

Great DIY video series! Thank you
Thank you, this helped me alot.
I took the motor pump off and it doesn’t appear to be clogged. It spins when I put my finger inside it to manually move it. Could it still be broken or could it be the actual motor powering it?

i took the old pump from under the washer is bad to put it back on the same way ?

My washer is not spinning or draining...could it be the pump??

so if i have done this and it still won't drain what is my next step

I don’t know what to do but all I did differently was replace the pump. The machine is level as well so it’s not unbalanced.
What is the model number of your washer? Is it only doing it during the spin cycle?
@@appliancepartspros it is a whirlpool LSC5000PQ1. And yes only during the spin cycle.
With what you have described it sounds as if the washer is unbalanced. It is possible that a spring may have came loose.
@@appliancepartspros do you have a video I could reference to repair this?
The link below should give you a general idea on how to do the repair. ua-cam.com/video/bwOrDwj_W9Y/v-deo.html
and saved me from hiring someone to diagnose the issue and from buying a new motor (the first idea for a solution). My problem was my 2 year old wash would not drain and or spin.
Did this help you?..i'm having the same issue..won't drain or spin..
@@gennaro4941 it's been awhile, but when that happened it did work for me.
@@Nuggett33 changed my pump the other day.. easy fix..15$.. works great again..thanks for the video and reply
When I took mine off there was a sock stuck in there and it wouldn't drain.
after I unclogged a sock from the pump, put it back, the washer is spinning but still won't drain the water. What's the problem?
It could be the pump impeller was damaged by the sock. Pull the pump off then put a big screwdriver in the motor shaft spot. Then try and turn the pump while holding the impeller. If the impeller does not turn with the shaft you probably need a new pump. Also check all the other hoses for clogs.
pump had a hairline crack.think it would work if I just glued it .?
+King It is always best to replace the pump!
Help, my pump is stuck
my kenmore needs pump, its 30 years old and i think my part # now is too old because my model # is not getting any info. my model# is 110 4225090, is there a new number that can match this one so i can get the right part. please would like your advice.

okay I see this was for a whirlpool washer- I have a Roper-is this the same process for changing water pump
