You forgot to mention, once you take the two screws out of the control panel, pull the control panel forward, then you will be able to tilt it backwards. Some control panels have two screws in the front also. P.S. If your into fixing washing machines and camping, check out my blog at campingfunwithcarl.blogspot.com.
Sure wish I had watched your video before attempting to remove my washers’ cover. I did everything you said the other guy in your video did. Thanks for the help.
this saved my life lol it wasnt my pump that was busted it was a hose but i got the jist of it and it helped me, no more leaking washer and no more flloded laundry room!!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I should have looked this up before dusfiguring the seam at the front--just like you predicted. You saved me a nice chunk of change!
Unfortunately went right to the incorrect way of taking mine apart like you mentioned. Thanks for the posting the video! Once again, YouTube was my last resort for how to fix something and ended up being correct.
Thanks so much! Really nice of you to post this! I've never taken a washer apart, so you saved me a lot of trouble using the ol' "trial and error" method! lol
Finally a video that makes sense; great job! I have a noisy spin cycle (and noisy at other times, but this at least teaches me how to open the darn thing! Thanks! Is there a belt on a Maytag Atlantis washer that might need tightening? Manual doesn't show any of this!
Wow! Im guessin that the pump might be runnin dry and the impellar burnt through. Anyway great job and thanks tellin me what not to do to access the pump.
Thank you for posting this video. I now know how to take my washing machine apart the smart way to find out why the agitator won't turn. The machine fills with water, but the agitator won't move an inch.
I tried this at home but mine almost electricited me and my family.... Any more tips... Also after my repair it leak even more... Also it started to make a loud sweaking noise... Why do you think that is?
If it is a similar model to mine, check the wiring right where it goes into the motor. That part sometimes comes loose according to a Sears tech I've known
I took my washer a part and it was very easy after watching this video!! Thanks so much. I don't have the replacement pump yet. My pump looks exactly like yours. I however have two holes where I noticed the water was shoting from the pump. I'm thinking of sealing the holes with gorilla glue!! If anyone has done this please let me know. I am concerned that it may cause more damange to the machine. HELP!!
Actually, there ARE older Whirlpools where the top pops off like the one guy said... but you have to flip those over onto the front or a side to access the motor, pump and tranny (not upside-down, 'cause the control panel is in the way)... you can't access the old style like the one in this video.
I've got a whirlpool washer that has an ear piercing screach at the end of the spin cycles. I'm sure it's the brake. Is there something I can grease or oil to get rid of this sound and how do I go about doing so?
Ouch! Fortunately that appears to have been a small leak so I suppose not too much of your place was flooded. Dihydrogen monoxide is such a merciless stuff. It will find its way no matter what and expensive damage can result from just a few liters of it in the wrong place.
It was just a very small leak but it did left a good sized puddle in the laundry room. My dad had mopped up the puddle earlier but he had to go to work right after we moved the washing machine outside the front door.
Nice Job andrew! Had one of these whirlpool washers that for some reason grew mold between the plastic liner and the tub, had to toss mine. Other than that the washer worked great!
I love your sense of humour. "I'll get that screw later.." :-)
