SAV5910EWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Dismantled the washer and cleaned out pump. Since cover-out ring was damaged, replaced it while I had the washer apart.

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

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.

The instructions included were very good. The biggest problem I ran into was removing the inner tub from off the hub. Using PB Blaster was the trick there, but still took some effort to finally pry it lose without damage. The hub screwed right off after and removing the Triple Lip Seal was easy enough with screw drivers. Cleaned things up and replaced it by gently tapping around it to seat it evenly. Reassembly also went well, but I DO HAVE a story. Being as careful as I thought I could be, I still somehow broke the outer tub. I read about others experience, buying and using JB Weld WaterWeld to fix it. Now the washer is so quiet again that you have to look into the drain tub to see if it is spinning. AWESOME

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.

pulled old knob off (removed metal clip left on) pushed new knob on .I am a widow so this was a big step for me to order part and replace but it was so simple.

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.
