MAH22PRAWW1 Maytag Washer - Instructions

Replaced drain hose

This was an easy fix . PartSelect was quick and had all the info I needed to repair my washer. Plus shipping was super fast. Thanks

I watched the installation video and ordered the part. When it came I reviewed the video and did the repair. Really the only time I used the screwdriver was to get the old wheel off the back part of the unbroken section of the mounting strip so I could use it on the new mounting strip.

Unscrewed cap holding lower sprayer arm in place, removed arm, screen cover (3 screws) screen, and probably 8 or 10 other parts that centered over the pump/motor shaft in the center, bottom of the machine, until I came to the impeller. A piece of the impeller broke off where it slides over the shaft, so the impeller wouldn't spin with shaft and drain the unit and the loose piece made a racket! Held motor armature from below to keep shaft from turning and loosened bolt in center of shaft which held impeller in place.

I left the machine apart until the new impeller arrived (shipped very quickly, thanks!) then just reversed the dis-assembly process and put it back together. Took ten minutes and works great!

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Perfect part...saved me hundreds on labor. Thanks!

Unplugged washer first! Removed front bottom panel by removing three screws, unscrewed the Drain Plug assembly by turning drain plug counter clockwise with a bucket to catch excess water from washer. Used pliers to remove spring clamps from washer agitator drain hose and then removed the spring clamp from the hose going to drain. Checked hoses for obstructions, then Slide Drain Pump assembly up to the right to remove. Then installed new Drain Pump assembly by sliding pump into slot to the left. Connected the agitator and drain hose to new Drain Pump and fastened with spring clamps. Plugged in AC line cord and turned washer on and started a quick wash cycle to check for leaks and to see if the water drained from washer properly. The water drained from washer and error code did not appear. The error code F21 reappeared during the second wash cycle. After closer inspection with a flash light, I found a large piece of cloth caught between the washer agitator and washer tub covering the drain by shining the flash light up towards the Agitator tub. This was solved by removing the Drain Pump assembly and all of the drain hoses again. Then removing the the large hose from the agitator tub and then removing the large piece of cloth from agitator tub. After reassembly, the washer worked like new!

First, I watched the video again just to make sure I had a firm grasp of the task ahead. I gathered up the tools and proceeded to begin. First obstacle: getting the washer tilted back enough to put the blocks under the front feet. The washer was sitting inside a square water pan with a drain connected directly under the middle of the washer. Therefore, the water pan did not move and I could only get the washer moved out far enough to 'barely' put the blocks underneath. Second obstacle: a clump of hair had gathered at the bottom portion of the door unnoticed and caused a slow leak from the bellows. This leak dripped down and rusted out two of the three screws. I had to use a socket set to get the screws out. Third obstacle: getting the pump removed from the bottom of the washer. With the drip, the pump had stuck to the bottom of the washer. Trying hard not to get cut on the sheet metal bottom, I pushed and pushed and pulled until finally the pump let loose. From that point on..smooth sailing just like the video. Washer fixed!

removed racks - removed lower wash arm - removed filter screen - removed upper pump cover - removed broken wash impeller - replaced wash impeller - re-installed upper pump cover - re-installed filter screen - re-installed lower wash arm - re-installed racks

Upon removing parts in an easy systematic order I discovered glass in the bottom of the machine. Was able to remove all but the Wash Impeller. This seemed to be stuck and I could not unscrew even when holding the impeller with pliers. Finally broke it. Ordered a new impeller and installed a few days later and everything works like new. Total cost less than $20. Wife is happy - I'm happy. Washing dishes by hand for a few days reminds you of how much we take modern appliances for granted. Oh - by the way. Very happy with the PartSelect service.

A previous person had broken the actuator switch connection so I replace it and got rid of the error code. But water poured out and I eventually took off the whole dispenser assembly and found a sock had stopped the big hose up where it enters the outer wash drum.

First unplug the washer and take the back cover off. Loosen the screw on the motor and the big nut on the belt wheel. Take the old belt off and put the new belt on around the motor but slip the motor back in place with the screw slightly in place but do not tighten it yet. Place the belt around the motor and the wheel but this is hard because you need some one with some strength so the is where my dear boyfriend came in handy. He used his strength to stretch the belt and put it back on the machine so I could put the big nut back on. But if you break a wire you have to know a little electrical to put back the wires back in place with small connectors. I do know electrical also. My machine is working better like new. Carol Rozier

Unplug Unit, remove lower cover screws with screwdriver that has 1/4 drive at end, put 2 gallon bucket at strainer remove water. Remove inlet hose clamp and outlet hose clamp, disconnect pump motor wiring plug, aggressive push to RIGHT popped right out. put a dab of Vaseline on new units rubber base slide back in reverse order. Plugged in check for leaks put back together, Repair took less than 15 minutes, working great! WHAT I FOUND IN STRAINER: LEGO'S-CHANGE-PAPER CLIPS, enough things to destroy the impeller !

Took less than 5 minutes to replace, So Happy;-)

other than needing a new type of screw driver (not philips or flat head, but rather a starfish looking thing), the replacement was simple. took 5 minutes (after finding the correct driver)
