2048778290 Kenmore Upright Vacuum - Instructions

Turned water off at wall and disconnected electrical power cord from outlet.

Tilted washer backward far enough to view water pump and bottom of tub, motor, etc.. Saw drip of water on one of the two clamps that secure the pump on shaft.

Removed the two hoses that are connected to pump (drained water in a pan). Using screw driver, removed the two clamps that hold the pump on the shaft. Wet, greasy shaft allowed pump to slip off easily.

Installed large hose onto new pump, then put new pump onto shaft...then aligned four pump legs in place, then snapped the two clamps on to secure pump in place on shaft.

Installed second hose.

Kim, ar PartSelect.com was great!

First disconnect power supply, close both water supply valves, move machine away from wall and tilt machine back so that front of machine was about 12 to 14 inches off the floor. Place bucket under pump and hoses, wrap plastic around electric motor to prevent water from getting in motor. Disconnect hoses allowing water to drain in bucket, remove two retainer clips on pump, and pry pump off motor shaft. Use sandpaper or wire brush to clean rust off shaft, apply a small amount of oil or other lubricant to motor shaft, install pump aligning pump drive to motor drive, install retaining clips and reconnect hoses. let it down, plug it in, and turn on water, then wash.

I unplugged and detached the hoses from the faucets & drain. Then I pulled the washer out from the wall and tipped it onto its back so that I could access the water pump from beneath. I used pliars to compress and move the two hose clamps holding the hoses attached to the pump, then used a screw driver to pry the two retaining clips from the pump. I slipped the pump from the shaft and pulled the hoses from their connection. To install the new pump, I simply reversed this procedure. After installing the new pump I set the washer up and lifted to set it on benches (so that I could inspect the mechanism while running the washer), Then I re-attached the water and electrical and ran the washer through a cycle while watching for leaks. Then I returned the washer to its original position. Overall, it was an easy fix.

Replacing the motor was easy after watching the video on partselect. Unfortunately it turned out to be the safety switch on the lisd was broken.

I was not able to get the the job done as the video, i pulled the electric cord.Shut water lines down place washer at about 45 degree angle lay on floor, removed hose clamps, remove metal clamps on each side of pump, removed pump, replace with new pump and reverse order in which pump was remove,

I watched the video on the website and the repair was fairly easy to perform. The hardest part was the beginning, unhooking the panel on both sides of the control panel and pulling the control panel backwards. The panel was a little bit harder to release than the video suggests (ok, a lot harder) and took a little time. Other than this minor setback, the repair was very easy. If I can do this, anyone can this and look very handy in the process.

Followed instructions on site, remove two screws holding contol panel and flipped up, disconnect water level tube(clear plastic), pry off two metal clips holding shell to back(on top,under control panel), remove shell. Water pump in front, bottom, two hoses. Remove hoses, pry off two metal clips
securing water pump. Water pump stuck on. Soaked with penetrating oil and let sit awhile. Reach behind pump and pry off. Turn impeller on new pump to align with flat sided shaft with finger in where hose connects. Slide pump onto shaft, tap lightly to get all the way in, put clips back on pump(tight), and hoses back on. Put shell back in place, clips back on top, water level hose back on panel, panel down, screws back in. Run machine, watch for leaks(water on floor). Had never done this before, this site made it easy. Thanks.

Stackable Unit. Removed the front cover between dryer and washer with a phillips screwdriver. Loosened the two bolts securing the top cover of washer. Removed the cover to access the two bolts securing the front panel of the washer. Removed that panel for access. Removed to clips by hand and used pliers to remove hose clamps. Installed new part. Damage was visible on the old part. Good as new.

First, disconnect from power & turning off the water. Then, tried to access the part by tipping the unit back enough to work. Was able to remove the hoses by loosening the spring clamps.. The pump motor shaft had corroded enough to make removal of the pump almost impossible. The washer had to go full onto its back side; had to pry with on the pump with the crowbar and tap the crowbar to get the pump to slowly move off of the shaft. Once forced off, additional time was spent removing corrosion from the shaft. A little lube was used on the shaft. Re-assembly was quick & washer was righted, plugged in and returned to service. Much better than buying a whole new washer.

First disconnected water hoses, put machine on the back, removed hoses from the pump, then removed two metal retainers that hold the pump. Motor's shaft got so rusty, that I could not remove the pump. I spent two days (few hours each day), until I finally was able to snap it off. If that wasn't difficult enough, putting new pump on was even harder. Metal rusted thru, and expanded from long leaking (previous owners probably had this problem for a while). I spent a lot of time filing it down with dremel tool, until finally I was able to attach the pump on the motor. I almost gave up in the process, but I'm glad I didn't, it works great. Motor might fail soon tho due to the rust.

The new pump should have come with an explosive charge to remove the old pump, but the new pump was an exact match and ground shipping was super fast.

I found a Instructible.com project that showed how to open the washer case--it took about three minutes to open once I knew what to do. 20 minutes, including looking at the tutorial.

I matched the parts with pictures on this site, and had it mailed in. 20 minutes

It took about twenty minutes to get together some 2x4 lumber and a flat pan to catch the waste water that was sure to come out of the drain hose. With the washer tipped up and the pan under the pump, I pulled the hose clamps and hoses easily.

The pump was rusted to the shaft of the motor, so took about ten minutes of persuasion with a large screwdriver and a lot of rocking back and forth before it came off the shaft. I then sandpapered some of the rust off, and slid the replacement pump on. Next time I would fit the hoses on first--it would have been easier. The pump did not slip on easily, so a little tapping with a light hammer got it onto the motor shaft. I was concerned about damaging the bearing or seal of the pump, so was very gentle. With more time and better tools, I would have cleaned the shaft off completely.

The case went together as easily as it came apart, in about three minutes. I carefully mopped and dried the area the pump was in, and ran an empty cycle through the washer. I checked back during the next several loads, and the floor remained dry.

The pump was leaking through a small portal on the front. I do not know what purpose the portal which was covered served...but that was the portal (half moon shaped) that was leaking. I decided to try and glue it with poly epoxy...glued it once, checked for water leak and then added more glue..waited overnight for glue to dry. I reinstalled the glued pump and it is working fine. The new pump is now on my shelf for backup. Taking the old one off and reinstalling is no problem. follow suggestions of others at this site.

I disconnected the power supply then proceeded to tilt the washer top toward the back and propped the washing machine up about 1' off the floor. Once the machine was stablized I proceeded to remove two clamps to the pump using a pair of pliers and allowed any water inside to drain. Then I proceeded to unsnap the top and bottom pieces of metal holding the pump in place with a large slotted screw driver. Once the metal holds were removed I was easily able to pull the water pump toward the front of the washing machine. Then I installed the new pump and snapped the two metal bands down upon the pump to hold it in place. I then proceeded to hook up both hoses to the pump and using a pair of pliers clamped the hoses securely in place. I then placed the machine back on the ground, plugged in the power supply and ran a test cycle to make sure it worked and that there were no leaks.

2 clips and 2 hose clamps. not very ofter are things easy. this was one of them. no screws nothing. i ordered part 11am one day and the next day at 10am the part was here.thanks
