HAV4200AKW Hoover Washer - Instructions

unscrewed back cover 3 screws then unscrewed 3 screws holding pump, pulled off belt replaced pump, put screws on, and then belt, then turned on machine no problems, put back plate on and it worked ...great job , I did this with 1 are in a sling so that's why it took 1 hour..

I had some expert advise on what the problem was so that made it easier to consentrate on the fix. I was surprised to find so much information on this web page. Getting the right part ordered was also very easy. The repair instructions given by other people was all correct, tiling the machine to get the belt off, removing the back access panel, was all correct and made it easy. The hard part was getting the machine out of the small wash room and into the garage where I had room to work on it. A good dolly and a wooden ramp came in handy . A word of advice woud be to operate the hot & cold water faucets on & off every year or so to be sure they work easily when the time comes, maybe an emergency. After 12 years I was worried my valves would give me a problem. (.they didnt).

Initially, it was uncertain how to remove the front panel. There were hidden clips that I was unaware of. But, the video on partsselect's website was excellent. It gave me the confidence exactly what to component to purchase and how to repair my washer. My repair was identical to the drain pump video and had no issues what so ever.

Disconnected hoses and power cord, pulled washer into hall area, laid towels down to soak up any residual water and tilted washer onto its face or front side. Removed lower panel on back of washer with three screws to expose pump and hoses, removed belt from underneath, removed three screws from pump base with nutdriver and two hoses with spring clamps with pliers. Installed hoses with spring clamps with pliers, slid pump into place per alignment pins on the base, installed the three screws on the pump base with nutdriver, installed rear panel with three screws with nutdriver. Installed belt and titled into upright position, slid back into place, hooked up the hoses then cord and did a load of laundry just like it was new.

Followed video instructions. Most difficult part was re-installing the E-clip on the bearing.

Tilt washer back to expose the bottom. Remove broken belt. Install new one. Do a test run: Washer is back to working fine. Note: My boyfriend actually did the repair while I was at work, but reported that I could have done it myself easily. Also: FedEx delivered the part on a Saturday without an extra delivery charge, so my washer was repaired several days sooner than I anticipated. Thanks, PartSelect!
