Hi Jimmy

I cannot get your model number to come up, but if this is the standard direct drive top loader, it is as easy as it looks. After you have the cabinet off, the pump comes off by releasing the two clips and taking off the hoses (water will come out) Replace the pump and you are all set.

Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding down the control panel,then swing it upwards.

Use a flat blade screwdriver to pop these Clips

Unplug the lid switch connection.




Tip the case forward and remove it.You will now be able to repair the washer!

FYI: The lid must be closed for spin on older washer. It must be closed for wash and spin on newer ones. The lid has a striker in it that pushes against the lid switch arm. This switch allows for spin IF the lid is closed. The switch may have failed. Mechanically the striker may be broken or the actuator arm may be broken. The end that the harness plugs into has 3 holes. As you can see above the lid switch has 3 wires. 2 live wires and one green ground. You can jump the washer out using a horseshoe shaped wire or equivilent. Newer models have the ground wire on one end. Not good! Look for that before attempting to jump it out. At any rate their are 3 wires. One of them is always green and always mounted to the frame. The other 2 are live. You can jump them to magically make that puppy spin and pump. Not recommended to leave it that way. For testing purposes only.

A 3 piece drive coupling

NOTE: some newer models have the screw hidden

Others have it in the rear as shown here.
Still newer ones have no screw at all, just spring clips.
Hay we don't need no stinking screws.

Here is a view of the washer with the case removed.

Good call JW

If I had not been half asleep and watching the game I would have noticed that.
