HLSR1090J6WW Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

The first thought regarding the light rumble during the spin cycle is that the bearing was going bad. Many of the other inputs on replacing the bearing included the problem with removal of the Hub Nut. Only one article noted a set of assembly instruction for the washer is clipped onto the upper rear panel behind the control knobs, but I did not see this comment until later. Not being sure where to start with diassembling the washer, I began by taking off the control panel and to my pleasant surprise I found a neatly folded set of detailed instructions. Following the instructions, I proceeded to quickly disassemble the washer until I got to the HUB NUT. The Hub Nut is an aluminum, 1 -11/16 inch, left hand threaded problem. My tool selection is somewhat limited, so after unsuccessfully attaching it with grippers and vice grips, supported with the liberal aid of a rubber mallet and plenty of WD40, I went looking for something with which I could a better grip on the hub nut. The grippers and vice grips would slide a bit when hit with the mallet. Also since the space is very restricted, a large wrench could not be used. I located a 9-inch pipe wrench, and with the rubber mallet the Hub Nut finally loosened after just a few hits. I replaced the old bearing which appeared to be in fair condition. While replacing the bearing has not solved my noise problem, I thought that my experience with the pipe wrench benefit someone else in their efforts to get the hub nut off without using a chisel.

Without any research, I imagined it might be the old hoses, so I bought new ones. When attaching them, I saw the threads were stripped at the washer end of the hot water hose. I bought the valve, and unscrewed the nuts holding the console in place. The clamp on the exit hose from the valve was a bit tricky, it was hard to hold it squeezed open while simultaneously maneuvering the hose off the valve. When I received the valve it looked like the electrical connections might be very complicated, but in fact it was very simple, a single plug.

I followed previous parts select customers advice exactly, of replacing the dampening straps, and it worked perfectly. Thanks-A-Million!

Popped cap off of agitator and used 12inch extension with 3/8 socket to remove bolt. Pulled off agitator and turned upside down. I then used 4 flathead screwdrivers to depress tabs on old coupling and flipped agitator back over and used a long screwdriver to push old coupling out. Flawless! Wiped everything down and pushed new agitator coupling right in place! Perfect! Put everything back together and washer is back in business!! Thank you PARTSELECT!!

Remove top of washer control panel to access filler. My hands are not large by t was difficult removing the old part and carefully trying not to drop mounting screws. Had to loosen screws twisting threads with pliers. No access for regular Phillips screwdriver. Patience is needed.

Removed the front of the washer, screwdriver used. Disconnected the electrical wires from the pump. Removed the two bolts from the water pump bracket, socket wrench used. Disconnected the pump to exterior drain hose, plumbers wrench used to loosen tension clips. Drained all the water out of the washer tub, not easy not very neat. Disconnected the washer tub to water pump drain hose. Removed debris that was in the hose. Then connect the hoses to the new pump, bolted the bracket back in place, put the front of the washer back on.

replaces as per video. Very helpful

I just watchied the clip on the website during the day about how to fix it, went home that night and fixed it.

The pump arrived and because I'd read some of the other stories here I wasn't too upset that it looked different.

I used pliers to squeeze the hose clamps and remove them from the old pump. The hex screws holding the old pump in were sort of rusty due to water, and were the majority of the miminal problem I had getting the old pump out. I put the new one in easily, fussed with the hoses a bit to make sure the clamps were in the right spot, plugged in the two leads, and ran a load.

The new pump was so quiet that I wasn't sure it was even working. Of course it was, and for $50 I gave myself a washing machine that works again. Thanks, guys.

after reading repair stories, decided I should take front panel off and see where leak was coming from. taking the panel off was real pain but well worth as inside was dry! so I looked again and discovered a pin hole in drain hose that only leaked when tub was full. while I had panel off I noticed tub dampening straps were broken so went ahead and ordered those parts too.

removed front of washer and removed top of washer very easy to replace 4 dampening straps (2 straps were broken replaced all 4

Take off front. Take off top. Pull off agitator. Pull off agitator coupler, after removing bolt holding in place. Attempt to remove hub nut, no joy. Wound up cutting the nut with a Dremel tool and chiseling the nut off. Closer inspection revealed a bad transmission. Due to the cost of the transmission, we will continue to use the machine until it completely fails.

1) Remove the load size dial by simply pulling it off gently. 2) To gain access to the switch, you must remove the "splash panel" where the dials are located. Do this by removing 3 hex screws from the back of the splash panel. **(If you need to move the washer, do so with the tub empty. This will make it easier to move and also lessen the chance of damaging the floor due to excess weight - water weighs 8 lbs per gallon - the average washer hold from 10-15 gallons on the largest load). 3) Once you have access to the rear of the panel, you will notice 3 hex-head screws holding the splash panel to part of the galvanized metal washer frame. Remove these screws and make sure you place them where you won't lose them. Slide the back splash section to the right a little and then lift the back splash away from the washer. 4) Remove the plastic tubing located on the brown/orange section of the switch. 5) Now, gently press the female connector from the switch by gently pushing it away from the area where the tubing was and pull at the same time. 6) To remove the switch from the back splash, turn the switch in a clock-wise direction (do this carefully so the delicate section of the back splash doesn't break.) 7) Inspect the tubing to see if it has expanded while being on the pressure switch - If so, use a very sharp knife (carefully) to cut off that old piece. 8) Take the new switch and install it by getting it in the correct position (you can tell because the metal frame of the switch has two ears that help you to align the switch correctly) Twist the switch in a anti-clockwise direction until it snaps in place. 9) This step can be skipped if the "snap in place" works and the switch is firmly seated. IF, at some time or other, the nubs that are used to hold the switch in place have been damaged, you will have to replace the back splash (Prt # PS2340063) and this costs more than the switch. 10) If you are here without reading step 9 - Congratulations! 11) Make sure you replace the electrical connector onto the new switch (it only fits one way so if at first you are having trouble, try turning the connector 180 degrees. Once all the parts you disconnected from the pressure switch are back in place properly, place the back splash back onto where it came from. Replace the 3 hex-screws that hold the back splash to the machine and before replacing the machine to where you pulled it out from, run a test to get the pressure switch "pressurized." My suggestion is to set the switch at the setting where the water only fills for a medium load. (This next part is not necessary but is eco-friendly) Set the other dial so you only are using COLD water. Start the water loading into the tub (DO NOT have any material in the tub or the switch will not be set properly) and watch the water level to make sure it shuts off at the correct level. If not, don't worry, Just shut the machine off and turn the dial to Spin to empty the water. Do this while the lid is closed so you can tell when all the water has been emptied; there will be an unmistakable change in the sound of the pump. Start the COLD cycle over again and watch the water level; it may shut off the flow if the pressure switch has been pressurized correctly. If not, repeat the procedure once more. Again, if it shuts off properly, you can now try a load of clothes (keep it at the medium setting). After the clothes have gone through the complete cycle, the pressure switch may have reset itself and the next load will seem to have less water. Simply set the water level to its highest level and you are now all set to wash all the towels you used to soak up the water from the overflow. ONE MORE THING - If the pressure switch doesn't fix the problem, you will need to replace the valve assembly.

Easiest thing I ever did on the computer. U tube helped me diagnose the problem and how to remove the old pump and install the new. Parts Select menu was easy to navigate and had a picture of the pump I needed. The cost was affordable and I got the satisfaction of making the repair myself.
