11044832200 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

easy process: troubleshoot problem on website-- order part--get part--watch "how to replace"video on you tube-- get it done with only a screwdriver--go out for movie and dinner with $$ saved.

disconect wayer inlet hoses.remove screws that hold the top cover. This will expose the water inlet valve. remove the defective valve and any other associated clamps,hose etc. test run for leaks.

Went to google; found a uTube video, plus instructions. Followed it and did the repair in a little over an hour.

Removed hot/cold water hoses from back of washer at water inlet valve. Pulled off top of washer by removing 3 screws at back of panel. Noted that water inlet valve had been damaged in move from storage. Pulled off 4 wires, 2 for hot and 2 for cold. Removed 1 screw holding inlet valve assembly to frame. Used pliers to release retainer ring on hose. Removed hose from valve outlet. Reversed process to install new valve.

The design of the baffle assembly must be a little off. Seems that the baffles must come loose at the screw and it tends to cause the attachment nubs to wear. The parts were delivered in no time, had the screws to replace the old screws (which was cool) all in all, the install went without a hitch. Plus, the site is great, easy to identify parts and the order process is a piece of cake. Maybe your folks could come over and redesign our parts site!

so easy!!three screws to take top off,one screw held valve in take hose off then install new part and reverse take apart order and done!!!Would have been sick if had to pay service call for such a easy fix!! Mike

Shut water off to washer, unhook hoses, removed back panel of washer, removed screw that holds the valve in place then unhooked the water line that connects to the washer and removed part. Place new inlet valve in position and hooked hoses and mounted it in place, put back panel back on and hooked hoses up and turned water on. Did a test wash and it worked

Shut off the hot water supply (pretty sharp eh?). Disconnected the hose from the hw supply and the at the connection to the washing machine. These had not been touched in at least 15 years and were somewhat tough to loosen but finally came ..... accessibility was a problem for the connection to the water supply as it was in a recessed wall box. Fortunately, we had some washers for the hose connections so the install was a snap. Hardest part of the whole job was moving the washing machine out from between the drier and the wash tub .... tight fit. Thanks for the quick service and to FED EX for their delivery. The delivery fellow was a real gentleman.

snapped in place

When I looked at the website for latch repair they showed a video (can't remember which brand but not Amana) where you had to take off the top and front of the washer to get at the latch part on the washer. For the Amana I had, you simply had to pull out a portion of the rubber gasket held onto the washer by a wire/spring combination (you can take the wire off) to get at the latch assembly. You could then undo the three screws holding the latch to the washer, pull it out and unplug the three wiring connections to remove the old latch. Then plug connections into the new latch, reinstall, tighten screws and fit gasket and wire/spring assembly back together. Much easier than going thru the top and front of the washer!

REMOVE HOSES AND POWER PLUG REATTACH EVERYTHING AND THEN DONE.

Need to elongate the hole in the frame to allow the screw that holds the valve in place to be inserted. You could not even start it as is. Also it put pressure on the valve so it would not seat properly. Need to include in the instructions you may need to elongate this opening in order to complete this repair. Other than that is was extremely easy. Parts fit well. Video instructions were great. Other than not knowing about the valve screw placement changing both pieces were extremely easy. Washing machine was repaired within minutes and is functioning properly again. Even the diagnosis tool was excellent as I have no experience with repairing washing machines but your site helped me trouble shoot the issue, order the parts (and receive in a couple of days) and replace the defective pieces in minutes. Changing these 2 items got me up and running an days and cost significantly less than what a repairmen would have charged just to show up at the door. Appreciate all your help!

Unplug machine,remove three screws that hold on top cover.
Unplug latch switch assembly,then open front door of washing machine, remove three screws which hold latch
switch. Install in reverse order.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you
