2043499990 Kenmore Upright Vacuum - Instructions

Of course I tried to determine where the leak was from. There wasn't a solid flow of water and was confined to the front. Pulled the washer out and laid it down. Noticed that a metal clip had a little corrosion on it and followed it back to the water pump seal. Removed two hoses and unclipped the pump. That's it. No screws or nuts. Looks like it was expected to fail and was easy to replace. It did last for 20 years though.

First I watched the repair video. Then I pulled the power plug and shut the water off. I didn't have all the room available to remove the front and sides of the machine in my narrow hallway so I just slid it away from the wall and leaned it back against the wall and had plenty of room to do the repair lying on my side. $28.00 part and in 20 minutes all done. This is the second time this site saved me time and mucho money. Thank you. Leon B. from Massachusetts

laid washer on side, used butter knife to pry off spring clips. there is just enough room to get pump off the shaft .Unhook two hoses then install new pump.

I watched the instructional video on how to take apart and how to take washer a part and how to install the direct drive water pump. It was very easy to do. also the delivery was very fast. I will be using the site to fix other appiances that I have that is sitting around broken. Thanks for your speedy service and customer service.

The repair went fine and the U - Tube video was very helpful. However, the putty knife under the front corners to release a spring clip was not accurate to release the console. Our Roper had two philips head screws on each corner of the back of the console that had to be removed to allow the console to slide back and off its clips. Then the housing of the machine (sides and front) was not coming off as described. However, after measuring I determined that the water pump had enough clearance to be removed without the housing of the machine being removed. So, the repair was even simpler than described.

very well the part was easy to install and the part was easy to find on the diagram furnished by parts select

I press using the plier the spring retainer to removed the two hose from the defective pump.
I used screw driver to removed the two retainer.I pulled the pump away from the shaft of the motor. Replaced with new pump, align to the motor shaft and return back the two retainer. It is easy and its good to have my parts right on time.

First, we took the pump off and found that it was leaking. Ordered the part on line. The part arrived in four days as scheduled. The small pump was easy to replace with screwdriver and pliars.

Removed water supply hoses and took drain hose out of drain. Unplugged electrical cord. Turned washer over to see and reach pump easily. Flipped clips holding water pump. Moved hose clamps back on inlet and outlet hoses. Wiggled hoses off pump. Placed new pump and flipped clips back in place. Wiggled hoses back onto pump ports and replaced clamps to hold. Turned washer upright and reinstalled. Using channel lock pliers to move hose clamps was the hardest part.

Pull Washer out, Flip to the right on it's side. Pop two Metal retaining clips, squeeze hose clamps with pliers. Remove pump, sand shaft with dremil or 80 grit sand paper. Replace with new pump. Easy! Push washer back and attach hoses and power. Done 15 minute repair

Removed the four screws from the control housing. Disconnect wire to machine housing. Remove the two clips connecting the machine housing to the back. Remove washing machine housing. Pump is located right in front. Disconnect hoses, remove and replace pump, reconnect hoses. Replace the machine housing. This was the hardest part if all trying to reinstall the housing.Once you get the machine housing in place correctly, put everything back together. You just saved about $125 in fifteen minutes.

I read the trouble shooting guide on your web sight to figure out what the problem was and after checking the hoses the pump seemed the next most likely problem. So I ordered the part.My main problem was the lack of room to work,if I could have tipped it on it's back or raised it I would not of had a problem.But I tipped it up and blocked it from falling and removed the part while waiting for the new one to arrive.Once it arrived it only took a few minutes to install.When I tried the washer it still leaked water,so I tipped it back up to check it out.The only thing that was wrong was that the spring hose clamps had not seated yet so I moved them around and wiggled the hoses to try and get them tighter.The next time ,it worked fine.The other reviews and trouble shooting guide were a great help!

Remove four screws securing control panel from the rear and tilt control panel forward. Unplug wiring harness from door limit switch. Unsnap and remove two S-clamps securing enclosure to back panel. Tilt enclosure slightly forward and remove it from wash machine. Disconnect water hoses and clips securing water pump and remove water pump. Install in reverse order. Caution: inspect water hoses closely. I had a rotten pump intake hose and found out the hard way (water everywhere).

I disconnected the washer from the water supply lines.turned the washer on it's back. took two hoses off the water pump.Unsnapped two spring clip's.Took the old pump off and installed the new pump.That is all there was to it.

The new pump arrived at my door just a few days after it was shipped.

Once I got the water hoses off and the clips holding the pump I had to use a large screwdriver to get the pump off the motor shaft. I then tried putting the new pump on but it wouldn't fit. I noticed that the motor shaft was flaired out (possibly due to rust) so I used a Dremel Tool with a grinding disk to carefully grind down the shaft to what it looked like it was supposed to be. Once that was done the pump easily slipped into place. I attached the pump clamps and hoses and pushed the washer back into place. I ran a quick test and then later a load of laundry. No more leaks!
