A1410 Hoover Washer - Instructions

Had wife balance washer on front edge while I accessed working parts from bottom of washer. Removed drive belt and turned agitator pulley, transmission pulley and drain pump pulley by hand. Drain pulley hard to turn and shaft had play in it. Ordered new drain pump and replaced upon receipt. Very few fasteners to remove and replace pump assembly. Drive belt was easy to remove and replace. Recommend also replacing drive belt on a washer this old.

Remove door, then after purchase of special screw driver was able to remove the broken plastic hinge. Replace with new hinge. A bit of a challenge due to screw under the lid. Finally, it's fixed for a whole lot less than a service call would have been.

Part Select was efficient & quick at sending us the part needed to complete the task. I will recommend this web site.

Thanx again

I placed the washer on a couple of work-horses so I could have access to the belt underneath. Then I used my nutdriver to removed the lower back panel. Disconnected both of the hoses, and removed the pump with my nutdrivers. Placed the new pump in place, placed the belt back on the pump's pully, tightened down the pump. I then plugged in the washer and put a little water in the washer to test that everything was working. After confirming that everything worked, I replaced the lower back panel and put the washer back in business. 30 minutes from beginning to end ... and a good time was had by all.

I popped the clips on both sides of the top with the putty knife. Raised the lid. Unscrewed the one screw on the old hinge. Screwed on the new.

It took a PhD in hinge replacement to do this.

I had to pop the top of the washer which is hinged in back. Raised it up and removed old hinges. replaced "hinges and hinge pins. It works like new.
Thanks for your "website". It was very easy finding the parts I needed.

Once the machine was unplugged, I used the paint scraper to release the top of the washer by inserting it at right front and left front about two inches from the sides. The spring clip's were released and the top swung back on the rear clips . The lid hinges were exposed , removed and replaced with the the screws from the original parts, "as they do not" come with the replacement parts.
"Replacing first one side" then taking the lid and replacing the parts (pivot parts) attaching the- 2nd lid hinge piece at this time as they will not go together in any other fashion. Snap thewasher top down to close. I would suggest spraying a little silicon spray occaisonally, to avoid the parts failing prematureily. All told about 20 min. to do the job. Don't forget to plug in the washer!

Unbolt old pump with three bolt from top of pump inside the washer. Use needlenose pliers to remove intake and output hoses from old pump. Remove belt from pulley under washer. Reverse procedure to install. I was worried because there were two pumps listed for this model number, one being $95 and the other being $40. I bought the cheaper one and prayed. It worked just fine. Fixed a $500 washer that was on it's way to the dump and made $100 in the process!

I had my son remove all of the old hardware with an allen-key wrench. He then proceeded to install the new hardware. Fisrt he installed the pins on the lid. Next, he installed the hinges to the washer, leaving each hinge loose. Finally adjusting the lid until the screws for the hinges were completely tightened.

Easy to remove broken part. Found rust, so after cleaning I applied paint (I let dry overnight).

By manipulating the washer drum, moving left and right, the screws were easy to get to. However, to get the screws back in took tightening by strong hands. Plus, found that the lid sensor had worn out, so that was adjusted.

New screws would probably make the job easier.

All is fantastic and I found it was "easy" to replace with finishing help from strong hands.

clicked on how to do it yourself on the part and video showed how to change it.

I used a putty knife to depress the holding clips under the front of the lid, then raised the lid to access the screws . Using a phillips head screwdriver I removed the screws holding the hinges and removed the door/lid then after removing the screw holding the broken pin, removed and replaced it with the new pin. and reinstalled the two screws on the hinges to reinstall the lid, and snapped the top back down. The whole thing took me less than 10 minuites to accomplish.

I found the parts that needed replaced on the Parts Select web sight.I clicked on see install video icon for replacement of the parts that needed replaced and that made the repair real easy.

I watched the video first. It was correct except for the tool was not a phillips screwdriver, but a torx drive. Rounding up the tools took the longest. Everything else was just like in the video.

Watched and followed the video

I replaced both the pin and the hinge. The old screws did not fit these parts nor did either of the parts fit the other part although they were almost identical. Screws should be included with the parts as these are supposed to be replacements. Do not try to order only a pin or a hinge without the other. Delivery was very quick.
