SAV405DEWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

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.

I removed the front lower panel. I disconnected the springs holding the motor to the chassis. I removed the belt off the pump pulley. Pay attention to the way the belt runs from the pulley and through the pump. This will aid in placing the pump back on so the belt runs correctly. Disconnected the wires, removed the capacitor bracket so I could take the motor/pump unit out after I removed the 4 bolts holding the motor/pump unit. Removed the 3 torx screws holding the pump to the motor. Matched the new pump to the old to make sure the new one was correct.

Installed in reverse order.

Followed instructions that came with parts. Still making a noise not as loud as before, must be transmission bearing.

Found out that these switches go from time to time and are usually the culprit when the washer won't operate. Opened the cabinet facing. Warning: there are plenty of YouTube videos on opening Maytag washers. None helped me with this model. I ended up finding the screws to open near the floor on front. Once it's opened, just replace the faulty switch, reconnect and you're in business. Getting the washer opened was about the hardest part of this repair. Total cost: Less than $30.

I could set the machine to manually spin or rinse, so I ordered the timer. It was so easy to I.D. and it arrived in 2 days! replaced it and works great

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.

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

removed the timer & replaced it

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.

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.

This washer is about 7 years old and is used 3 times a week. The machine would skip the rinse and spin cycle and would leave cloths in soapy wash water. The repair was simple and easy. Unplug unit from wall recepticle, remove the 3 screws from top of control panel, pop off the control dial, slide control panel assembly out at each end, unplug timer wire harness, unscrew timer set screw, remove old timer, install new timer, replace set screw, reconnect wire harness and reassemble control panel. Plug back in and your done. This washer works like new again and runs great.

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.

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.
