CAV1000AWW Magic Chef Washer - Instructions

My husband did the repair quickly and problem solved. The only difficulty was that the water valve was in a tight spot. Overall, if you are mechanically inclined and have the right tools this is do it yourself project.

removed rear acess panel and used pliers to remove leaking hose then reinstalled new hose..

First I got everything I needed, unplugged the washer. Using the puddy knife I freed the top of the washer by inserting the knife about four inches from each side on front. The machine is in a place where it can not be pulled out far, hence the two by fours. Remove the loose cover, reach in with the stubby and unscrew the screw on both sides. Take the broken cover pins off the cover and install the new ones, put the other hinges in the cover, put the hole cover in place and install the one screw perside, remove wood and close the hole top, your in business , no drinking

I followed your video instructions. Very good video.

Removed screw, replaced hinge.

I had my boyfriend take the lid off ,then he took off the two old hinges,one was broken,and the he replaced both lid hinges,daving the good one. it was very simple and quick for him.

Iwill use your service again,thanks.

Replaced the hose. two clamps and retainers. very basic repair

Took off back cover an belt replaced part

1. Remove 1 screw holding each of 2 Hinges - use T15 driver. 2. Push tub to one side to get access to each screw from underside. 3. remove & replace broken Hinge Pin from Lid with T15 driver. 4. Drive broken pin out of the Hinge with a punch & hammer. 5. Install new Hinge Pin to Lid. 6. Add a little Vaseline to Hinge Pin & slide Hinge Pin into Hinge. 7. Line up Hinges to holes & re-install both Hinges with Lid. Have somebody help hold the Lid in a slight angle will make re-installation easier.

I watched the video of the repair on this website and followed it. Was really easy & THANK GOD because this was my first repair. This has been a great machine and it looks like it will continue to be for a little while longer! Thanks for the video help and friendly navigation of your site!

The PartSelect video was excellent and very helpful. This replacement took extra time because the washer was located in a tight space and moving/lack of access to the rear of the washer created several issues. Tips based on my experience:
1) I used a MasterLock ratchet tie-down to secure the lid when raising the hinged top of the washer (I wasn't able to lean and support this against a wall as demonstrated in the install video).
2) The fill hose that connects to the water valve was difficult to remove and I needed two large-jaw adjustable pliers to do this. A small amount of Dawn dishwasher detergent applied to the inside of the hose made re-assembly quick and easy. 3) A set-screw holds the valve in place. Easy to remove but because I couldn't get in back of the washer, I had to measure from the bottom of the valve to line-up the screw with the hole in the valve assembly to mount the new unit (this wouldn't be a problem if you could see where the screw goes but I couldn't get in back of the washer for this simple final step). Very pleased with finished result - just needed some extra time and additional tools.

Removed front panel by releasing spring clips with putty knife and removed two screws with a ratchet and 5/16” socket. Removed rear access cover with a ratchet and 5/16” socket. Removed and replaced tub to pump hose. Loosened clamps on each end of hose with channel locks.
Re installed rear access cover and front panel.

Followed the great instructions on your video
