The pump assembly is located on the right
front corner of the washer base.
The pump pulley is engaged to the drive belt
at all times and will be operating in both mo­
tor directions: Clockwise during agitation and
counterclockwise during spin. The pump is
designed so it will only discharge water from
the machine when it is running in the coun­
terclockwise, or spin direction.

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove the front panel.
3. Remove the drain hose from the pump
outlet.
4. Disconnect the pump inlet hose.
5. Remove the three (3) screws which
mount the pump assembly to the base.
6. Slide the pump to the rear to disengage
the belt from the pulley.
NOTE: If this is done carefully, the belt will
remain on the motor and transmission drive
pulley, making installation easier.
REPLACEMENT

ing and place the belt on the pulley. While
holding tension on the belt to keep it on the
pulleys, install the mounting screws.
