MAH8700AWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

It is very easy. Unplug from the wall. Take out the two screws from the back that holds on the top panel. Unscrew the three screws inside the door by the latch. Reach inside the washer from the top and unplug the three plugs on the latch part. Then plug in the new part , put the three screws back in. Then put the top panel on. Plug in and magic. It works!

Installed dampners with a little trouble because of location on machine. But turned out not to be the problem. Machine still shakes and move. Looking for for another reason for shaking. Replacing dampners would be a "do it yourself project" for most people.

We followed another very helpful repair story. Unplug machine. Unscrew top back screws, remove top of washer. Reach inside from the top in the front of the machine. Remove screws holding latch in place, unplug the three plugs attached to latch. Replace with new door latch, screw it in place, replug the three plugs, put top of machine back on, replace screws on back and your'e done! Works great! Job made easy thanks to others helpfulness!

My husband removed the water heater element. It was kinda an ordeal. Just glad it's done and fixed, relized how much I love to hate laundry.

Purchased the pump from PartSelect after reading other reviews and let me tell you....it works great now. Way cheaper than hiring a repairman.

I ordered the pump because we have 3 kids and laundry piles up. The pump was not the issue, because it would drain in rinse, but not during spin... The computer would have been a $330 part. Not sure the issue, but my wife wanted a new dryer so we replaced the washer at the same time. I didn't use the part. The website was really easy to order and it got here fast.

first of all, I am not at all handy, so that fact that I could do this at all is pretty amazing. I watched the video and it was very good. At first all went smoothly...I got the top off, the control panel off and the detergent drawer out. Then I ran into problems, three of the six screws holding on the front panel wouldn't come out. I sprayed Liquid Wrench on, waited for a while, still wouldn't come off, then I tapped them with a hammer, still wouldn't unscrew. But I was able to access the door latch from the top rather than the side...a little tight and awkward, some swearing was required, but it worked. Machine now working like a charm, yay!

I removed the back service panel and checked the drain hose for any debris and checked the connection from the tub basin to the drain pump. I then check the drain pump and noticed the impeller blades were a bit worn. After the new drain pump arrived, I did have to swap the old intake housing with the new one in order for the whole thing to mount to the shock-absorbing mounting plate. Reconnected both hoses and the electrical connection and everything ran great!

found diagrham on line, located parts needed , orded,replaced when arrived a few days later.

Removed the broker door lever with screwdriver, installed the door lever with screwdriver. Took about 5 minutes.

I had noticed the latch on door was split so I ordered the latch, but before I could put it on, the latch on the front of washer was locked. I then looked at the messages from others on this site for help. My daughter and I unscrewed the 2 screws on the top back, removed top, pulled the control panel up, unscrewed the front, unscrewed the 3 screws for latch, pulled old one out. I located the part, ordered it and got it in 2 days! Put new latch in and screwed everything back the way it was and in 15 minutes, the washer is running! (I am a woman too!)

Took both the screws out on the top back. Lifted up the back about 1/2 inch and slid to the back. Reached into the front of the washer where the latch was connected. Disconnected the 3 wires (plugs) attached to the latch, took out the 3 screws located inside the washer door. Took a second person just to hold the latch and bring it out after the screws were off the front inside the washer door. Put new latch in, connected the wires, put in the screws behind the washer door (3 of them) and slid the top into place and put the screws in the back. Takes longer to tell you than to do it. Remember the screw on the left side front (top) as you face the washer and remove that screw. The plastic had disintegrated on mine but am not going to replace that part until I have to.

Took the two screws out of the access panel on the back of the washer. Drain pump was just inside the access panel. Unplug electrical plug from pump. Take the clamps off the hoses and disconnect hoses. ( Lay towels inside around pump to catch excess water) Take a ratchet, extension, & socket and unscrew bolts from washer base. Unscrew pump from bracket. Put old bracket on the new pump and assemble everything back together opposite of instructions. Very easy fix. Thanks parts select. U saved my family time and a lot of money on repairs.

Coins sheared the impeller blades from the pump. I disconnected the power, removed the back panel, with pliers slide the hose clamp off the hose and remove hose...you will drain water from both hoses when removed (if washer is full of water be prepared for it all to drain)remove 2nd hose clamp and hose, with a 1/2 socket remove the 3 mounting bolts, and disconnect the power line from the pump remove old pump from mounting plate. Install new pump in reverse order.

The washer tech manual stated to: 1) remove the top, 2) control console, 3) front below the door (front load washer), 4) remove the retaining wire, 5) pull back the rubber bellows, 6) remove the three screws and remove the door latch/lock assembly. I discovered that steps 1 through 3 are not required to replace the assembly. Installation is the reverse of steps 4 through 6. That was easy. The difficult part was figuring out how to reset the pressure switch so the drain pump would not start every time you reconnected to the power supply (pressure switch thinks the washer still contains water). With the power disconnected, I disconnected the pressure switch from the central control unit. Then I reconnected the power supply and pressure switch. That reset the pressure switch solved the problem with the drain pump. Washer works fine now.
