AWM592 Amana Washer - Instructions

Disconnected wire harness. Loosened belt by slipping off main pulley. Removed motor/pump assembly (easy so far). Had some difficulty separating pump off motor shaft. Shaft had rusted into the plastic pump socket. Cleaned shaft with sandpaper. Reassembly with new belt and pump was easy.

My neighbor did the repair for me and I believe the instructions sent were the reason he had no trouble installing it.

Removed the tub from outer shell/washer body completely. This made it easier to work. Removed the agitater by pulling upward. Used gear puller to remove bell housing and bell seal exposing the 1-1/2" nut holding down the hub. I remove the stainless steel tub liner exposing the hub assembly. Used the an impact wrench and 1-1/2" deep well socket to remove nut. Used the gear pullers to remove the hub assembly. It crumbled as I tried to remove it, so I used a dremel tool cutter and began cutting it apart. Removed the pieces with a chisel and rubber mallet. When the hub was finally removed' it was easy to remove hub seal and replace. Make sure everything is cleaned up, smoothed and lubricated before reassembly. I also replaced drive belt and pump. It was easy with outer shell completely removed. The washer went back together according to directions. Allow seal glue to set overnight and found there were no leaks.

Turned off water & unpluged ac power. Removed 2 screws on front panel. Removed panel. Found peices of V belt. Removed 4 screws from electric motor which allowed the belt to come out. Ordered new belt on line. Received the item in one day. Reversed the above sequence above. Now the washer is running as good as new.

I purchsaed a new water valve and it was very easy to install. I hate to do thos kind of repair but it went very smooth. Took maybe a half hour, and now it works like new.

Removed the back plate. Disconnected the inside water hose. Unplugged the electrical contacts. Pulled out the old valve, connected the water hoses to the valve, plugged in the electrical contacts, reconnected the inside water hose, and put the plate back on the washer. The hardest part was putting the plate back on the washer. This entire repair would have been exceptionally easy except that I had to sit on top of the washer and hang upside down to do the repair due to the extremely small space the washer was in.

Unplugged washer, turned water valves off, disconnected water lines from washer with adjustable channel-lock wrench. Water inlet valve was mounted on its own plate that needed removed using a screw driver. Disconnected the electric sensors and disconnected the outlet hose. Valve had to be taken off the mounting plate with a nutdriver. Replaced valve and reconnected everything. Water pumped in 10 times faster.
