Bosch Washer Repair - How to Replace the Drain Pump (Bosch # 00436440)

[@MT-nx5oj]

I normally don't comment, but your video has saved me money and our beloved machine. I was able to repair our 15-year old Bosch following your video exactly. You pointed out what to look for, how to line up panels and explained the little things one would have gotten hung up on. Excellent video!! Thank you for putting this together.

[@timothygleason9792]

Thank you so much for perhaps the best most complete “how to” video I’ve seen. Success! You can’t buy a full size Bosch any more and I’m so thankful that during a pandemic I was able to fix our washer without having to buy a new one (and wait!)...Thanks again!

[@DanTomaschko]

Well done Steve. The video was extremely helpful and covered all steps in right level of detail. Thank you for taking the time to make and post it.

[@douglasbattjes3991]

This is the best video of any videos I ever seen on you tube, very very well done and explained, 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wajihnaeem8578]

This video is so helpful, thankyou so much I replaced Bosch washer pump after watching this video.

[@partselect]

You're welcome!

[@stevenbrown805]

The Best Professional instructions ever, great detail, looks like a lot of steps but it is really easy with proper tools. Better than other KZbin videos I also watched.

[@RPRussell]

And count +1 more who has saved a few hundred bucks from this video. THANKS SO MUCH!

[@RPRussell]

It took me WAAAAY too long to figure out where the gentle guitar music was coming from. HAH! I love it.

[@jamesclemonts1]

These best tutorial I have ever followed along with. Hands down!!!

[@blairspaw]

This is one of the clearest and most complete "how to" videos I have ever seen. Thank you very much.

[@TheKnotartist]

I was able to replace our pump, this video was so helpful. Very detailed. Thank you.

[@markis82]

The video is much appreciated. Your method worked great. I can't believe how many people try to do it through that little access hole. Well worth the extra 15 min taking the front panel off. Far less swearing involved.

[@EmpyrealView]

Super thorough and accurate. Thank you so much! I've done a lot a appliance repair over the years, so I knew basically what I needed to do, but Steve showed me all the little tricks in this video that saved me lots of time and aggravation. For example, when pulling out the existing drain pump, reaching underneath the machine and disengaging the rubber feet before pushing back on the pump and lifting it out. And I was getting frustrated trying to put the wire band clamp back in place around the bellows until I watched Steve carefully, and did it exactly like he did it. Snapped right in place. By the way, my washer was a Nexxt 700 series, and the trim is a little different, but this video still covers all of the critical stuff. Steve is awesome. Thank you, thank you!

[@daves1646]

MANY MANY MANY THANKS!! Your video is such a good training vid that I realized I could easily replace the drain pump on my Bosch Nexxt 300 series washer. If you are not an appliance repair tech trainer, you SHOULD be!! Excellent mix of the critical details and quick move through the repair! My hat’s off to your excellent teaching style and interest in helping us DIY’s. Again, Thank You!!

[@davidschuh7030]

Absolutely the best video out there on replacing the pump assembly. Very detailed and professional. This took the mystery out of removing the front panel as there was NO WAY I was going to attempt this through the small service opening. Excellent video. THANK YOU!

[@sburany]

Thank you for taking the time to post this!

[@SethWinkleman]

Probably the best KZbin tutorial yet!!! So easy to follow!!!!

[@phylcamp]

Thank you so much. I did not need to replace the drain pump but I did need to know how to remove the front. You have an excellent video. I did everything you said and did not break a thing!

[@partselect]

You're welcome!

[@davyl1414]

THIS IS THE MOST amazing tutorial. It's extremely well done with great views. I was able to take apart my machine and put it back together. Thanks so much!

[@stevec9231]

By far the best DIY repair video! Thank you sir.

[@jonorbilliewaugh7611]

Fantastic tutorial. Worked perfect. Didn't have to take the whole panel off, enough room with the bellows out for one arm and the other trough the access hole. Thanks Steve, you are awesome.

[@jasonturner2994]

Outstanding video! Thank you for taking the time to make this. You saved me a bunch of money I’m sure.

[@DannyJacobs-x5z]

This absolutely helped, but I have to admit, the calming music in the video didn't coinside with my profanity while I was doing this project! 🫤

[@shirleygentry475]

Thank you! Excellent tutorial! I followed it explicitly and it was easy to do. I did try to replace the drain pump through that 6 inch hole and couldn’t connect the hoses and bruised my arms. So take the extra time and do it by this video.

[@d.e.skateco.4170]

YOOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH STEVE! Best tutorial video I’ve ever watched.

[@DancingD44]

Many thanks. Your video game me the confidence to attempt this fix myself successfully! I did end up with two extra screws after I completed it, but all seems to be functioning properly with no E:13 error!

[@danielpelletier2346]

Great tutorial. Complete and very precise.

[@TheVanbz]

This video was so helpful and we got the problem fixed. Thank you!

[@ramintabatabaie1486]

Thank you very much. Your video was helpful and wouldn't be able to replace the drain pump without your help.

[@andymarner2187]

Thank you so much sir for sharing. You just save me a lot of money, God bless you

[@rag5283]

Can you show us how to replace the shocks on this same machine? It's been difficult finding good info on that and even an exploded diagram anywhere. Thank you

[@carlarodriquez1006]

I love this video you explained it perfectly how it goes back together and part. I do have one question though my machine had a little clips on the control panel and I don't know where they go because they fell off when I took the panel off. So if you know could you just throw me a hand I didn't put them back on. yes I enjoy it very much and I hope to see more!!! thank you have a good day

[@ray96723]

Thank you very much for detailed explanation! The video is very helpful. It helped me removing pump via front service port without front side full disassembly. Removing shroud helped to get better access to pump from above.

[@Fred-gv3kh]

Ah but have you installed the new pump yet? Wondering about doing this myself (through the pump hole), but one person here said they injured their arms trying. Easier to remove pump than to install it, what do you think?

[@Fred-gv3kh]

Helpful video, but absolutely unconscionable (and despicable) that bosch went out of their way to make pump replacement this difficult. Do washing machine designers work as washer repair servicemen on the side?? Lol. It’s ‘almost’ as if Bosch didn’t want people to unclear blockages or change/ clean filters… but wanted people to pay technicians to replace the pumps after they fail!!

[@ray96723]

@@Fred-gv3kh yes I both removed and installed pump via front service port. Major trouble for me was dealing with clamps on water lines to pump. If not for easier access by both hands thanks to removed shroud, I don't think I'd succeed. Other operations such as settling pump in place were simpler, need to fit rubber supports into bottom cutouts in washing machine.

[@ray96723]

@@Fred-gv3kh as for injuring, having small hands and wearing protective gloves definitely helps. Otherwise yes, injury is possible -lots of thin metal in crumpled space. I think difficulty with replacement is more likely due to winning of aesthetics over functionality. Rectangle big service port probably seemed less appealing than small round one. Although why original pump didn't have means to drain it conveniently, beats me. Bosch engineers must have seen this problem, yet chose to do nothing.

[@cnewton1954]

Great job Steve! ... I did this once before and out of all the videos(not many) None said take notice of the Hook on the hinge attachment to the machine. Notice when he is reinstalling hinge again. I put it back on but one of the hooks didn't set at the top. Door went back on but eventually the plastic piece inside door lock broke as locking loop pin kept striking it and pressure on plastic broke. BEST EXAMPLE OF REPLACING PUMP OF THE BOSCH MACHINES. 👍👍👍👍👍 Always ✔ check your work. Thank You. Great Close ups of work.

[@corinnestefanko5300]

This is a great tutorial about how to change the drain pump. My Bosch 800 series needs a new pump. I know I can do this repair now. Thank you very much for your explanations.

[@annettethomas5707]

Hi what is your model number? I have this same machine however the stick on the front came off and I dont see the number anywhere else. I need to order a part. Thx

[@captainjinx42]

This video was very thought out. Turned a 2 hour repair into a 45 min repair for a novice.

[@pascalbruyere7108]

Great video, thank you! Is there a way to test the pump before putting everything back?

[@bbeyler]

Thanks for posting this. Our Bosch Nexxt 300 was a bit different, but for the most part, this got me through it.

[@kamaunickerson3508]

I had to replace my gasket and this video was EXTREMELY helpful in getting the front of my machine off. I got everything back together, but now my drum won't sit at all! What could it be??

[@melquesedekcastro7480]

Very well done. Thank you for sharing the info.

[@eric9021090210]

This was incredibly helpful! Very thorough and well explained. Thank you so much!

[@partselect]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jes587690]

Hello Steve, Would you know the part # for the rubber seal/boot on this washer, mine looks just like this one but I find no serial numbers. Last time the repair guy was here he could find no serial numbers either. I need to order a replacement if I can determine which one. Wonderful video very informative and quite impressive!

[@Robert-ce5wp]

Just replaced my pumps and gasket under and hour. Thanks so much!

[@azteccortez4466]

Does front load water pump sucks water out of the drum & then pump it out? Or water gets to pump from bottom of the drum by gravity & them motor only pump it out? Can you explain?

[@HEADBANGRR]

Thank you for your help and God bless

[@OceanSpritePixieBobs]

I need to replace my Sump and this is a great video thank you SO much mine is on a WFMC8440UC/16 Washer

[@johnnyguitar_34]

Does the Bosch ever get clogged At the bottom of the drum

[@jonathananderson7307]

GREAT VIDEO

[@dianastanley3929]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, it was a great help!

[@richardgelinas931]

Great video!! Do you know if I can still buy a replacement pump, I keep getting the"sold out " message....😢😢 Thank you much

[@partselect]

Unfortunately this part is no longer available from the manufacturer so we don't have access to it! Our apologies!

[@oross99]

THANK YOU!!!

[@ronster6656]

DANG STEVE!! Changing the pump itself doesn’t look too tough. But taking all of that stuff off to gain access...WHAT A P.I.T.A.!!! Fortunately, my older model has the round access hole right out where you can get to it without removing anything else. I saw another guy do this repair just through that hole. I’m going to attempt it that way. If I fail, thanks for showing me what I have to do as a backup plan. Great video! Thanks!

[@blueskyflier6954]

Any luck replacing the pump?

[@ronster6656]

BlueSkyFlier Well, it turned out to be nothing more than one of my wife’s elastic hair ties had somehow gotten into the pump and jammed it. A guy in another video suggested flipping the paddles of the pump to see if they would spin and he gave a code for testing just the pump. It worked and that thing has been performing flawlessly ever since. Unfortunately, I had already ordered a new pump. $60 sitting on a shelf in my basement indefinitely. Cheap insurance, I guess.

[@ronster6656]

Duane Miles I found it on eBay. The vendor name is “generalapplianceparts”. Just do a search with the pump part number 436440. Their name is across the picture of the pump and according to their listing, they’ve sold a bunch of them.

[@ronster6656]

Duane Miles And I never got that deep into mine so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help. Sorry.

[@rd42]

Thank you.

[@pascalbruyere7108]

The drain hose installation at 9:35 was almost impossible: it was too tight! Either the hose was swollen either the replacement was different or out of specs. Got it for $70 from a store that seems reputable on eBay. It did not fit. I plugged it halfway and hope it will stick… I’ll monitor for a while.

[@norman7179]

THANKS A BUNCH !!! I'll be doing this tomorrow and with your video, there shouldn't be any problems.

[@mattyradio]

Can I just send you a list of my appliances and you do a playlist on how to fix them?

[@partselect]

If you have a specific repair you need to get done, we can certainly look to see if we have a video for it!

[@BG-uf2nv]

As an aside... sometimes it's way easier to do pump replacement by just tipping the washer on its side or back. You can generally access pumps and motors from the bottom without too much trouble, and you don't have to take everything apart!!

[@johnnyguitar_34]

The Bosch washer has a bottom on it. So the way he is doing it, is the easiest.

[@j2398]

You can't do it from the bottom on this one....

[@vincentheslin9636]

a toe panel to access the pump would've been nice. Good vid.

[@annettethomas5707]

Hi, PLEASE tell me what model number is this washing machine. My model number came off of the front and I need to order a part from you. Thanks in advance

[@partselect]

Hi Annette, let me check and see if we can track down the model number for that washer. It's a bit of an older video so I'll see if we can track it down. I know you said your model number came off the front of your washer, but sometimes the model number can be found in a couple of different areas on the washer. I'd recommend checking out this guide to finding your model number, and see if you can't track it down! If you have it, I can further help you find the part you're looking for!

[@emmarobbieus9107]

Wow that was a chore!

[@iSam306]

Just replaced the drain pump on my washer & have the same error 04 code

[@12abidik]

Hi Sam, I am having the same problem, I replaced the pump the machine works perfectly but the pump does not work end gives the E errors, how did you solve yours, or have you ever solve the problem.

[@JOEYFOGG]

Oh no Steve, You’ve completely missed the bit about ‘removing the drain hose’ from the pump housing - and it’s driving me nuts - I can’t get those clippy things to push in.

[@boschhotpointfan8354]

Why the hell does that look like a hotpoint aqualtis

[@Eye_can_see_you]

Or.... if you want to keep your blood pressure low and stay out of the mental hospital, change the pump by going in from the back of the appliance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGjEd5eQbqhoapo
