SAV505DAWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

I was able to remove the belt because it was worn through. However, I was unable to remove the pump as described in the instructions because I was unable to get my torq wrench to the bolts. I ended up having a repairman come in.

I removed the 4 bolts that hold the drive motor in place, then tipped the motor on it's side and removed the 3 allen screws that hold the pump in place. Then just reversed the process.

Unpluged washer, turned off water supply, removed front covers, removed spring on right side to allow drum to lean over, removed the 2 hoses from pump, removed motor (4 bolts), removed 3 screws holding pump. Installed a new belt and replaced the pump. I replaced the hoses on the pump, replaced the spring, and turned on the water, plugged in the washer, turned it on and hoped for the best. Worked fine, no leaks or problems.

Removed one screw to remove plate and pull valve from back of machine. Removed three plug-in electrical connections and one water hose. Put new valve on the hose, plugged in the electrical connections, re-inserted it in back of machine.
Got part from Part Select at half the price of local dealer, and in came in three days. Machine's fine. Wife is happy.

I seemed to have a more difficult time changing the pump out than others who had left their instructions on line prior to me.
What I has to do is remove the 4 bolts that secured the motor & mount to the frame. I then unplugged the wire harness from the motor leads.
I removed the belt tensioning spring & removed the belt.
I then removed the motor, motor mount and pump assembly. Turned it upside down & removed the pump. When installing the new pump you will need to remember how the belt was routed. A local parts house actually gave me a xeroxed schematic that showed me how to route it. A real life saver.
After that I turned the assembly right side up, bolted the mount into place, installed the new belt onto the large flywheel, attached the belt tension spring, plugged in the wiring harness and ran a rinse cycle. No leaks. Good as new.
Yes. It took a little longer than expected. But it was alot cheaper than having a service man do it.

replaced belt that was wore out. decided to replace pump while I had washer apart.

I was at work but a friend of ours and my husband did the repair. But what I was impressed about is how fast we got the part. thanks a lot

Wow! My husband and I researched the problem online and ordered the part after reading from others how to take the machine apart. We are very unhandy, so we felt quite an accomplishment fixing the drain hose with rubber elbow ourselves! Thank you for the diagrams that so clearly showed the part we needed to order.

remove front cover disconnect water supply remove hose clamp,take drain line replace with new hose reconnect water supply replace front cover job complete.

Disassembled washer as per directions with seal kit. Removed inner tub. Cut both tub shaft bearing in half; punched out from outter tub. Installed new bearings using .5 inch threaded rod, washer and bolts. Installed new seal on inner tub shaft. Installed inner tube. Re-assembled washer.

Fixed the problem easy to do just take your time putting in bearing in plastic tub

My neighbor did the repair for me and I believe the instructions sent were the reason he had no trouble installing it.

You tubed this procedure and it took 20 min.

Parts where in, in a timely manner. I remover the fabric softener cup on top of agitator. User a 1/2 inch socket and a 3/8 ratchet with an 8 inch extension to remove the center nut. Popped the agitator out. Installed in reverse order, only tightening the nut slightly. The install went just like the video. Thanks much.

Old knob had already fallen off. New knob arrived quickly and was a perfect match!! Great Job to the Part Select Team! Chris
