SLW110RAW-PSLW110RAW Speed Queen Washer - Instructions

took front of washer off;took sheetmetal bolts out of the base and lifted sheetmetal surround. disconnected filler hose and water level tube, took sheet metal jacket completely off machine and disconnected 4 of the 6 drum tensioner springs. Tilted drum back at 45 degree angle and removed pump unit. Changed tensioner pulley and drive belt. Reassembled works great! Thank You. We got the machine for free from our my inlaws because it made a funny noise. We ran it for a year with the funny noise and it worked great til one evening it just got tired and quite. We were going to go buy a new washer the next day but decided to go online first and check about parts; Glad we did;only cost $80 to fix! Thanks again!

With the right tools this job, should not be that complicated, to me the hardest part was finding the right tools, 1/4 inch small rachet ( the smallest the better,) with a 2 inch extension and a Torx head socket, also known as a 6 lobe,(T25 thats the # that is on the socket) also you need a flat head screw driver,or a 1/4 socket to take the cover off.. and of course the right belt, you might also need a flash light, watch out for spiders, specially black widows, i found a few, First you take the cover off, it should be the easiest part, then, put the rachet,( the smallest the better) with the 2 inch extension and the socket, to take out the water pump, it should be white, it should be only three screws, take your time, when taking out the screws hold them so they don't fall, in to the whasher, it happened to me and it took me a long time to find one of the screws, once you take the 3 screws move the water pump aside it should just drop down from the shaft that drives it, it is not necessary to take the hoses off the pump, put the new belt in place, make sure place it trough the tensioner, there is a guide in the AMANA web site when if you are not so sure, on how the belt goes, once you place the belt, put the water pump back, put the three screws back, put the cover back, run the machine trough a new cycle, Reason why is because i try to run it trough the spin cycle only after i put it together and the belt wouldn't spin, only the motor,Don't forget to unplug the power from the wall before staring all this, I hope this was of some help to you,

Laid washer back on a appliance dolly, removed the front cover, checked to see if the hose was touching the motor mount (it was). Removed the drain hose from the pump and standoffs, removed the hose and disk from the back of the washer that holds the hose. Replaced the hose on the pump, turn the standoff to move the hose farther from the motor mount, and install it in the disk. May be easier to measure the hose and do the disk first as it is not easy to get the hose bent when it is installed first on the pump.

I opened the bottom and found the belt had broke in half. i ordered a new belt from Maytag online and found a you tube video that showed exactle how to change it. the only thing i had to do afterwards was tighten the tensioner.eazy pezy!

thought wire between hot and cold valve was to short but after many phone calls found out valve could be ajusted by prying carefully up clips and moving valve closer not in directions

knife to losen top, remove rear tabs securing top, unplug electical from timer and switches, unplug front door wiring, 2 bolts remove front, lift front pannel to remove. tape belt on drum on top. under drum you can see the belt around worn pulley. lift idler pulley assembly, remove belt from pulley, snap ring holds pulley in place remove woren pulley, install new, replace snap ring, restring belt. remove tape. spin drum to assure alignment. reassemble.

Removed old hose, drained the water from the hose. Put new hose on.

Repair went well using posted instructions. My advice is always replace pump as you will damage seal when pulling pump off shaft.

Removed lower front cover--two screws. Removed motor/pump assembly after disconnecting electric and water hoses. Seperated pump from motor. Installed belt, then reconnected pump to motor. Reinstalled motor/pump assembly, while rotating belt onto drum pulley. Reinstalled eclectric and water hoses. Buttoned front cover back up. Done.
