MAH2400AWW Maytag Washer

First I looked up the error codes in the washing machine technical information pamphlet I got when buying the machine to determine what the problem was. It indicated that the machine wouldn't spin. After doing a few more tests I couldn't find the error code that was displaying, but the machine wouldn't run at all and just did a terrible ... Read more growling sound. I tilted the machine back to get access to the bottom. Undid the flimsy corregated covering held in by 4 screws. In the right front corner I found the pump. There were 2 tubs connected to the pump; I undid each (a simple squeeze off holder) and found nothing blocking either passage. The type of pump is build as one part, so I was unable to open it up.
I decided to order a new pump assuming that was the problem and in fact it was. Replacing the pump was a piece of case. I undid the two tubes, disconnected the electrical connector then removed it from the washer casing with 4 screws. The new pump was easy to install -- screwed it in place with the 4 screws, reconnect the electrical part (just a simple female / male connection), reconnect the 2 tubs, put the bottom covering back on, and that was it. It's working just fine now.

Unplug machine, turn on its side (have bucket to drain water from hose), unscrew drain hose bracket on back (so you can fully empty water still inside machine) unscrew bottom plastic cover, locate pump on left, pull out electrical connector, unscrew hose clamps, twist off hoses, unscrew pump and replace, and follow the above steps in reve ...

Removed hinge and all screws holding two halves together with glass between them put glass in new parts and replaced all screws hinge fits in there also
installed back on washer and away we went....
