Went to website, looked up make and model, looked at photo's discription, studied it, and then went in and removed front panel, turned off water, removed clamps holding hoses too dishcharge pump, mopped up water, and then just reinstalled new piece, the way the old came out, re attached belt to pulley assembly, turned water back on, and did a test for leakage and wala washer back in working order in less than an hour, and saved hundreds of dollars with out maytag repair man.

Problem encountered was that the replacement tub had a defective air bell. The washer consequently did not detect fill level and subsequently overflowed flooding the laundry room. The bell looked ok visually. Blowing into the air tube while plugging the inside hole with a finger revealed a pinhole leak in one corner of the PP weld. PartSelect was prompt with replacement, but the job had to be redone in its entirety.

Always test the air bell before installing an outer tub.

First replace the hinge but realized it was actually the hinge pin thar was broken. So we replaced the hinge pin and the hinge on both sides and it works like new. It was only necessary to replace the right hinge pin, but we replaced everything since I had already ordered the parts. Check hinge pin first.

Removed front of washer following instructions on partselect.com (used putty knife to release catches). Removed hoses and belt from pump, then removed and replaced the pump. Reattaching the belt was the only awkward task.

Remove the metal plate in back of the washer that 3 screws. I use a vise-grips to remove the two clamps.One on other the tub side and the other the pump side. Pull the old hose off the tub side and the pump side.Use the old clamps to put the new hose on.

I lifted top portion of the washer after removing rear attachment screws to obtain access to lid hinge and mounting pins. I unscrewed the broken hinges and pins and installed the new ones.

I believe I could have avoided removing the rear attachement screws by sliding a screw driver or flat pry bar under the front panel and lifted the front panel up. The job would have taken much less time.

Just popped open the top of the washer, took the broken hinge off and replaced it.

I tilted the machine on it's back to remove the drive belt. You could feel the friction in the pump when you turned the pulley. I set the machine back down and removed the back cover (4 screws). I removed the two hoses with a pair of pliers. I used a small socket set to remove the three mounting screws. I ordered the pump. I reversed the process to put it back together. It took about 35 minutes to determine what the problem was and to remove the pump. It took about 20 minutes to put it back together.

We have a Jenn-air washer & dryer that we bought new & are now almost 15 years old. I just put about $20 into the washer that took me about 20 minutes to do the repairs. Change tub to pump hose & lid hinge pins. The dryer was about $40 to fix. Blower wheel & drum rollers. That repair took about 40 minutes. Both units you have to take the front cover off & that will expose just about everything. A screw driver between the top & front will pop them open. One hour & $60 in 15 years. I think we made a good choice.

It took two of us to move aqnd hold the tub so we could install the hinge. I would not say it was easy to accomplish this.

I had to raise the top of the washer and take off the front pannel. It was not too hard to replace the pump except that it was in the back corner and it was hard to reach the bolts to remove and install the new pump.

The Clamps for the hoses were difficult to get to, otherwise was a simple replacement job, involving clamps and screws and bolts.

Remove door, then after purchase of special screw driver was able to remove the broken plastic hinge. Replace with new hinge. A bit of a challenge due to screw under the lid. Finally, it's fixed for a whole lot less than a service call would have been.

Part Select was efficient & quick at sending us the part needed to complete the task. I will recommend this web site.

Thanx again
