YWFW9351YW00 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

removed top,3 screws in back,lift up and pull back.removed soap dispenser.removed hidden torx screw on left side. removed screw top center of door opening,used putty knife to pop control panel off and laid on top of washer.used small screw driver to pop off front gasket spring and wire from left side.took gasket loose and remove door lock and let it hang there,took off kick panel and front then un screwed the inner gasket retainer,pulled off gasket.soaped up new gasket and reinsalled in reverse order..it took two of us to get the front spring and wire back on,that spring is tough and the gasket kept popping off,finaly got it,works fine

The key to this repair is 1) lifting the front of the washer to access the bottom trim bolts, and 2) using lubricating spray around the outer bellows clamp area and 2 people to work the clamp into place.

Removing and reassembling the front and top panels was very easy and straight forward. I started by opening the clean out next to the pump and to my surprise found 2 shiney pennies a rusted paper clip and a small nail. I inspected the bellows and found 2 - 1/4 inch slits near the drain holes in the bottom of the bellows, not big enough for the pennies to pass through so how did the pennies get there. Installing the clamp to the drum was fairly difficult. The hardest part of the bellow installation was getting the front spring clamp lined up and stretched. I used the old spring clamp, maybe a new one would halve been easier.I used some duct tape to hold the wire clamp in place and a screwdriver in one end of the spring and with a great deal of effort stretched the spring enough to get the clamp over the rim. I also sprayed some water on the groove in the bellow to get to seat on the rim

the repair cost was about 1300$ from a repairman! and they wanted to replace the complete inside drum assembly, so i decided to break it down myself and i'm an average do it yourselfer 1. unplug machine 2. remove water hoses 3. remove the top 4. remove back panel and front complete 5. remove all inside connecting wires but leave them close as to make it easy to reconnect 6. take all three shocks loose from bottom of drum and remove all counter weights (concrete) 2 on front and 1 in back as to keed drum ballanced for removal and 7. remove the complete drum 8. set drum down door side down and remove pully and then all the metal clips with a flat screw driver and lift back portion of the outer drum up and remove. then the inner drum will be visable 9. take the 6 Torx (star) screws out of the drum support and remove! and semply reverse the process for assembly! taken photos of the process will help the assembly process as well

Well first off the part is different then the orignal so it does not fit correctly. I removed the old bellow and its cicular spring clamps. On the new bellow there is not enough lip on the rubber for hte clamps to be put back on and hold the bellow in place so it still leaks out the door. if the part was a match it would work but since the part number was changed and the design was changed it now does not fit correctly. INstructions did not come withthe part so had to find them online.

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

Thank You so much for the other stories folks wrote on here! We were getting an F21 code on a regular basis. After finding a necklace and about $2.50 in change in the filter tray we found the problem. Over time I thought the washer was getting louder but it was so gradule that we really did not realize it.I had read other posts on here and ordered a new pump. After taking out 3 screws and 2 clamps the pump came right out and went in just as easy. Less than 15 minutes and we were back in business with a wisper quiet washing machine,Thanks Again everyone, Mike D.

I drained the water out of the pump area. Then took off all clamps and holding brackets. Next I pulled off the quick connect power plug. Then I put new pump in the way I took old pump out. The hardest part was unscrewing the bracket from underneath the washer. Cloth washer working fine.

The only issue I had was getting the hose from the tub re-installed, but that was my fault, the pump went right in. It couldn't have been easier. I was very pleased, received the replacement pump in just a couple of days, packaged very well for shipping, and had it installed in a matter of minutes. It took longer to take off front panel to access pump than it did to install it. Very pleased with "Part Select".....will use again!

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

put in push down push back until they lock in

took the old part out by the front panel and put the new pump in and now it works great. only took a couple of minute to put the new one in. thank you for saving my washer.

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)

Took of the panel, unscrewed the old drain, screwed the new drain in. Very very simple to do! The first part I received leaked, I called customer service and they gave me a refund and express shipped a new part - no questions asked. Very good customer service!

unplug washer from outlet carefully tilt back to get at underside of washer remove bottom panel. pump location lower right front. remove two hoses from back using pliers keep note on hose location. remove two bolts on underside of machine slide pump to the right to release from rubber holders to install reverse the process also good idea to use the new hose clamps that come with your new pump and the rubber mounts if they are included
