41729052990 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

Removed front panel, used socket to compress lock tab on plastic pins holding shocks. Still taks a little effort to get them out. The one behind a plastic drain canister is a proble as there doesn't seem to be a good method for moving that canister. I think that's why the spare pin is provided.

Sadly, my case was one of the lower percentage where the problem is in the rear bearing area. The shocks were, the top support springs were good but the rear of the washer drum was shot. Opted to replace with new washer rather than go through the much longer repair with the almost $300 in parts.

As others have mentioned, it was pretty straight forward although a bit finicky to get into the tight spots to press out the pins. The little piece of 1x4 block helped press the pins back in. For the right side shock, I had to undo the large rubber hose at the bottom of the drum and also had to remove the sheet metal shield in the back to allow clearance for the pin to come out. There's only 2 screws holding it in so again, not too hard to do.

removed top cover to access valve dissconnected hoses and wires then unscrewed valve and replaced

Loosened screws holding the latch and replced it with the new one. Removed screws holding the instrument cover. Disconnected the old light and snapped in the new. Very simple repair for my beloved Frigidaire front end loader.

replaced the two shocks with the new ones by removing the pins that held the old ones in place.

Removed old shock abs. (both sides). The one side, I had to remove the speed control board to access the lower nut on the one shock. Install was fairly easy however, it did not fix the washer. Apparently there was something else (either a switch, the control board or the motor) needs replaced too.

Disconnect power,take water hoses off using pliers,they are really tight,remove 2 philips head screws,pull 2 wire connectors off and water fill hose squeezing wire clamp and sliding clamp back on hose.reverse to install.Works like a champ.

Removed two screws. Removed broken catch. Installed new catch with orginal two screws.

Unbelievebly fast. I ordered on Sunday. Part was shipped on Monday and I received it on Wednesday. I removed the 2 screws from the old catch and put the new one in, in about 5 minutes. I had a load of wash running 5 minutes after that.

It was so easy to replace. I called a local appliance store and they wanted approx $105.00 to rush the part or $95 to have it shipped from the east coast...I went on your website and with delivery the cost was $16.07. I was thrilled...the existing screws were in very tight so all I needed was an electric screw driver.

The latch arrived in 3 days. What a piece of cake!!! I removed the broken latch and installed the new latch using the same screws in 5 minutes. It works like a charm!

I simply removed the two screws holding the existing (broken) catch and replaced the old with the new in less than 5 minutes. It could not have been easier.
I would alsolike to note that I was VERY pleased with how simple it was to find the correct part and with how quickly the part arrived at my door. I will definitely refer PartSelect to anyone who may need a new appliance part.

I removed thescrews , removed the roken part and then placed the new part in replaced screws , done in under 3 minutes

I removed the 2 screws that held the broken latch together. The screws were a little hard to remove. Once I removed the screws, replacing the new latch was a piece of cake.

I removed the 2 screws holding the original door catch and simply replaced with the new one, replaced the 2 screws and that was it!
