This is an easy fix once you see how it goes together but can be a little difficult in certain steps. I first Removed the door at the hinges and removed the screws on the side securing the liner. Once the liner was removed you can see what pieces are involved and how they go together. Take pictures before removing any thing, you'll need them during the repair. I removed the vent tube and the circular thing with springs. Transfer the circular thing first noting the screw slots. The next step may be a little difficult to see how the upper vent tube bracket slides off and how to maneuver the springs. The whole unit comes off as one so don't take it apart. Make sure you know how it goes back on with pictures. I found using channel lock pliers to compress the site springs was the best as it was easily attached on the new panel while compressed. The vent tube with the rubber seal on the bottom was tricky but you can finesse it in place. Once together putting the door together and back on the unit was easy, Worked great and saved a ton of repair money.

I hired a Maytag technician.

Everything went smoothly enough until I reached the tension spring issue...It is definitely a two person job (that part, al least) It may be helpful to add that to the video...otherwise, the repair went well as I followed the video completely

I looked on Utube at some videos which helped a lot all told i replaced the bearings in the outer hub which was quite a chore as the bearings came out rather hard I used a steel rod about 18 inches long and a heavy hammer to pound the old bearings out they came out hard then I put the new bearings in very carefully as I had to tap them back into place and installed the seal and put the new shaft on the tub and slid everything back into place. The instructions that came with the new seal and shaft were very helpful I bought the new bearings from local implement dealer as they were not available with the shaft and seal didn't keep track of my hours probably about 21/2 to 3 hours

Removed back cover to gain access to the pump. Disconnect two wires to the pump. Remove hose clamps on inlet and outlet of pump and rotate pump to the left to remove. Installation is the reverse. I would also remove the large discharge hose from the bottom of the drum to make sure you don't have any debris at the inlet of the pump. My pump had a dime, and a bobby pin stuck in it. It was the bobby pin that over time penetrated the pump housing that caused the leak. I ordered the pump with the normal ground rate on a Thursday evening and had the pump it in hand around noon on Saturday. Couldn't ask for better service. The part was an exact factory replacment.

Unscrewed the 4 screws of the old bezel; lifted the bezel out; moved the lid from the old bezel to the new one; set bezel in place and screwed it in with the old screws. Looks and feels like new.

Removed the broken plastic bezel and lid assembly. Removed the lid from the bezel by flexing the lid so the hinge pins would clear the mounting holes. Attached the old lid to the new bezel and reinstalled the assembly with the four existing mounting screws.

The repair was easy and for about $15.00 total the soap dispenser is back to new condition.

I visited several web sites looking for repair parts for my Maytag washing machine. Your site was the easiest to navigate and provided great diagrams and pictures to ensure that I purchased the correct part. I liked the ability to track the delivery of my parts via your web site. I received my parts within a couple days.

It was easy as 1,2,3. Took the old knob apart and replaced it with new one. About 20 minutes.

the pictures on your web site allowed me to positively identify the 2 pieces quickly and surely. replacement was a snap and took less than 2 minutes. Thanks!!

Disconnect power. Remove back panel. Use shop vac to remove water from drum. You can also remove one of the agitator fins from the drum (uses 2 TORX screws) to gain access to inner tub drain hole to remove additional water with shop vac and check for obstructions. Remove power wires from pump, noting position of each. Place towel near pump and disconnect input and output hoses. Rotate pump to disengage from slots in base, and remove. Installation is reverse.

Very easy.I used a screw driver to remove and install the new hinges. Three screws on each hinge. Door closes like new again.

Ordered siphon cap according to FPS parts list. Wrong cap, but I don't care! Customer support was so helpful and willing to do everything to get me the correct cap, to include refunding my purchase price AND shipping before I even sent it back. They will be my first choice for parts in the future! My husband is a "fix it" guy, so I know that will mean a lot of purchases. I look forward to future business with this company!

Removing the gasket was very easy. A couple hints on installing (1) attach the gasket to the drum first!! this is the trickiest part but once you get it on, attaching the cable and spring was fairly easy (just used two people and a pair of needle nose pliers). Once you get that on, "lube" up the other side with soap to make install easier.
