SAV505DAWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

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.

remove motor and pump togather 4 bolts holding unhook two hose unplug electrial connector and slide out remove 3 screws holding pump to motor be aware of direction belt from moter to tub then place new pump back at same location as old pump replace motor with pump attached back to same location as begfor

You tubed this procedure and it took 20 min.

Used a socket wrench with extensions to remove agitator bolt and washer, removed and replaced agitator, reattached waher and bolt. Hardest part was realigning washer at bottom of agitator shaft.

Purchased x4 new adjustable legs. Leaned the washer back and held in place with block of wood. Loosened the two older front legs with an adjustable wrench because they had a locking nut and replaced with new legs. Repeated process on back side of washer. Once all the new legs were installed leveled the machine adjusting the legs if necessary.

pulled off the old & pushed on the new

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

popped off fabric softener dispenser, 1/2" socket on 8" extension to remove 1 bolt. Lift agitator to remove and clean area under agitator in tub. Lower new agitator onto spindle (pretty much aligned itself) and re-inserted bolt to secure in place. Replaced softener dispenser...done. REALLY easy....

Cleaned the grooves well on the top of the agitator and put the new dispenser on. Easy! I suffered with the old one coming off in the spin cycle for too long. Once I located this site it was relatively easy to find the part & order it, and it arrived quickly.

The new hose was exactly like the one I removed. It was simply a matter of putting the new hose through the back, replacing the hose clamp, take the piece off the old hose that makes the bend in the hose to go in the wall drain. Replace the lower front panel with two screws and I was done.

removed motor removed belt replaced belt,spring,idler wheel, slid back motor in 4 bolts,plug in motor, run good on test run

After pulling front lower panel off, disconnected idler pulley spring and left side tub stabilizer spring to allow room to get motor out the front. Took belt off transmision pulley, unbolted 4 motor mount bolts, dropped the motor/pump assembly down and disconnected the electrical plug (motor). Took motor/pump assembly out, flipped it over, unbolted 3 pump bolts to remove old pump, which came right off. Then reversed the whole process. Pretty straightforward, just time.

Repair went well using posted instructions. My advice is always replace pump as you will damage seal when pulling pump off shaft.

Removed the tension spring from the belt retention belt, removed the belt from the large pulley in the back of the washer, removed the 4 bolts holding in the motor and washer pump, removed wiring harness, disconnected the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump and pulled out the motor and the washer pump. Turned the motor over and using the Torx driver (#20) removed the 3 bolts holding on the pump. Gently wiggled and pried the washer pump off of the motor, replaced the pump and tightened down the Torx bolts carefully so the pump didn't crack or break it is just plastic, but had to be sure the pump was seated tightly so the pump would fit back into place and also so it wouldn't leak, after making sure it was tightly attached I reversed the process to put it back together.

Although the Maytag website no longer had a repair manual in their database, I was able to locate one fairly easily online. After removing the motor/washer pump, it was easy to remove the 3 screws holding the washer pump to the motor. Unfortunately, it turned out the motor hub shaft had corroded and removing the pump needed some ... persuasion. Patience and a rubber mallet eventually separated the water pump from the motor. Re-installing went quickly and, so far, no leaks and the washing machine has not started walking across the floor.
