DLW330RAW Amana Washer - Instructions

I read instructions on how to change the pump. I unplugged the washer and then I took off the front panel.I removed the hose clamps and removed the two hoses from the pump.Then I removed the two front springs that hold the drum in place. Be careful because these springs are under tension. I removed the 4 bolts that held the motor to the tub. I unplugged the wires leading to the motor. I removed the motor. I turned the motor upside down and removed the pump and belt. I ordered a belt along with the pump because it was worn. It is best to note how the belt is installed. I took a picture before removing the pump from the motor for future reference if needed. Installation of the new pump and belt was not difficult. I worked the belt around the drum pulley and made sure it turned freely. After completing installation I ran the washer through a short cycle to check for leaks before installing the front cover.

Fixed the problem easy to do just take your time putting in bearing in plastic tub

I read everyone else's stories and tried this for myself. I am by no means a handy person. This was extremely easy and took me about 10 minutes. I would suggest to everyone to try this for themselves if they have the same problem as I did. Anyone can do this.

Took off part and replaced it very easy instructions.

Purchased x4 new adjustable legs. Leaned the washer back and held in place with block of wood. Loosened the two older front legs with an adjustable wrench because they had a locking nut and replaced with new legs. Repeated process on back side of washer. Once all the new legs were installed leveled the machine adjusting the legs if necessary.

Replaced water inlet valve with the water inlet valve kit. We ordered it on Monday morning. The part arrived the next day, Tuesday. New inlet valve was put in on Wednesday. It took less than 15 min., and my washer was working! Very impressed!

Replaced the inlet mixing valve. Two screws and two electrical plug ins and you are done.

The new hose was exactly like the one I removed. It was simply a matter of putting the new hose through the back, replacing the hose clamp, take the piece off the old hose that makes the bend in the hose to go in the wall drain. Replace the lower front panel with two screws and I was done.

Just as everyone else explained, disconnect power and water supply, lift top of machine to get to part, disconnect old part and replace exactly with new, hook water and power supply back up and you're done. I was pleased and proud to have done it under 30 minutes (girl power!!) and that included start to finish.

Removed the plate screws. Found valve, unplugged wires, removed hose and replaced reattaching everything. Replaced plate. Done

Repair went well using posted instructions. My advice is always replace pump as you will damage seal when pulling pump off shaft.

Pretty easy repair ... especially after reading previous owners instructions and experiences. After unplugging unit from power and shutting off water supply - 1) Remove front panel. 2) Remove small tensioner spring. 3) Disconnect power connector to motor. 4) Disconnect two water hoses from pump (place towel underneath to catch water). 5) Remove 4 large bolts holding motor assembly to frame. 6) Slide off spin belt from tub pulley. 7) Remove motor assembly. Pump and belt are attached. 8) Take to workbench. Note orientation of belt wrt pump. 9) Loosen and remove 3 star head screws (I used a drill bit and drill). 10) Slide pump off motor shaft. Mine came off clean and easy. 11) Remove belt. It's good to order the belt with the pump and replace them both. My belt was pretty chewed up and I'm glad I had a replacement. 12) Attach new belt and pump, being mindful of belt route. 13) Re-attach motor assembly, threading belt around large pulley. 14) Attach water hoses and motor connector. 15) Attach belt tensioner spring. Test on a short cycle....if all is well, close it up and you're done. Took me about 45 minutes.

Removed lower front cover--two screws. Removed motor/pump assembly after disconnecting electric and water hoses. Seperated pump from motor. Installed belt, then reconnected pump to motor. Reinstalled motor/pump assembly, while rotating belt onto drum pulley. Reinstalled eclectric and water hoses. Buttoned front cover back up. Done.

knife to losen top, remove rear tabs securing top, unplug electical from timer and switches, unplug front door wiring, 2 bolts remove front, lift front pannel to remove. tape belt on drum on top. under drum you can see the belt around worn pulley. lift idler pulley assembly, remove belt from pulley, snap ring holds pulley in place remove woren pulley, install new, replace snap ring, restring belt. remove tape. spin drum to assure alignment. reassemble.

After pulling front lower panel off, disconnected idler pulley spring and left side tub stabilizer spring to allow room to get motor out the front. Took belt off transmision pulley, unbolted 4 motor mount bolts, dropped the motor/pump assembly down and disconnected the electrical plug (motor). Took motor/pump assembly out, flipped it over, unbolted 3 pump bolts to remove old pump, which came right off. Then reversed the whole process. Pretty straightforward, just time.
