Great Video

I have this exact washer. Your instructions were very easy to follow. THANK YOU

Totally left out the hardest part of taking off the pump

[@tubejim101]

What is the hardest part?

[@luckydog-287]

Super great video. Working on my washer, again. Posting, again, to thank you again. Awesome!

4:13 Pro Tip: I recommend tilting the machine back and feeling the bottom rails FIRST before disassembling the top. Some front boxes are screwed to the bottom of the frame. Mine was. You’ll need to tilt the machine back and remove the screws underneath before the front box can slide off. It’s easier to do that before the top is disassembled and flopping around.

Thank you for the video! Great video!

Nice video. Thanks a lot. Saved me a lot of work.

[@RyanFGNM]

It's been a long time since I have had to open one of these. I forgot how easy it is to work on. Thanks for the video and the help with how to replace the water pump.

[@rvangeons]

This was a very, very helpful video. I got in there, pulled it apart, got a child's sock out and got it back together in no time... I especially appreciate the advice on how to get the body back on. I messed with it for five minutes before coming back and watching the end. Thanks for taking it all the way from start to finish.

[@tubejim101]

Thank you.

tubejim101 As a 55 yr old widow trying to save a repair bill I was determined to do this myself. The new part in Canada was $57.95. I agree the hardest thing about this was putting it back together. I am short so getting everything lined up took some wiggling and jiggling and holding my tongue just right. Your tips on how it was supposed to line up were very helpful and kept me from having to undo and redo it . Thank you for helping me make it on my own one more day at a time.

[@secretsanta1405]

you will know if the cabinet is lined up if after it is in place and together and you pull from all sides to lean the cabinet and it does not come loose from the base. thanks for the video.

[@michfinn230]

Hey thanks worked great good instruction thanks.

[@DavidZ400]

I replaced mine today. Thank you, very helpful.

[@GlennLeeRobinson]

Thanks man! I watched this vid and was able to clean out the blocked pump. Washing machine works perfectly again. Really appreciate you walking us through this!

Thank you for this video, due to your help I was able to remove the baby sock stuck in the drain pump.

[@tubejim101]

lol. Glad to help :)

[@vonsevilla4426]

You saved me! Thank you!!

[@vonsevilla4426]

Not sure if I installed correctly but it still leaked... maybe the clamps around hose not tight enough?

100% what I needed. Thank you so much.

We have exact same washer. Thanks for posting the part! Just ordered it from Amazon and chose 1 day shipping. Will let you know how it goes.

[@garytodd5605]

Thank you sir had old pump out in 5 minutes or less waiting on new pump to come in. The only thing different with my model was the ends dont come off. They are screwed to the top that rolls back. Top snapped down. Thanks you get 10 stars on a 5 star scale.

[@tubejim101]

Your welcome. So glad the video helped.

[@X100premando]

Will the pump cause a no spin effect on the washer? I replaced the coupler and still no spin, or am I looking at a clutch replacement? Someone please help

[@MrJprippin]

Well I laid the machine on its back and was able to remove the pump with no other disassembly, we’ll see how easy it goes back to gather when the new pump comes

[@tubejim101]

Hope the video helped.

THANK YOU!!!

[@thomasdorsch9711]

I need to ask you or anyone, did you have trouble separating the pump from the end of the motor shaft. The old pump in the vid pic looks like it had pry marks. I have one stuck on. The pump leaks, so no issue destroying it. But I don't want to mess up the motor bearing by prying on it. This is an original pump on a kenmore 80. Anyone had this yet? Penetrating oil going to work now.

[@tubejim101]

It does look like pry marks, but, it is just dirt and grime. Make sure you have those clips off. Mine just popped right off. Maybe shoot it with some WD-40. Wait 15 minutes. Then tape the front with a hammer. Also, could take the hoses and the clips off. Then grab it and wiggle it by yaw. Like you would check a car tire for bad bearings or ball joint.

[@thomasdorsch9711]

This thing had a rust/corrosion weld on the motor shaft. I ended up breaking the pump in pieces to get at the collar on the shaft. I used a small chisel to split the white nylon looking coupling. Penetrating oil did nothing. Never fought this hard on a wash machine. Sort of laughable. Well anyhow, mine was the exception. Good video. I hope others, even if you think you are good at this, should bring their devise and play it as you work. The voice makes you feel as if you're working with someone. lol.

[@coffeylvr]

I'm having this same problem

[@davidcooper7212]

Couldn’t you just tilt the washer up without removing the shell

[@tubejim101]

I don't think so. If it work, let me know.

[@jlamb199]

It can be done but it'd be REALLY difficult and not at all pragmatic. Probably not the safest either. (Only one person I saw out of hundreds, commented they'd done it that way, but you'd be working on your back with about 6-10 inches of space to do it.) I just did mine an hour ago. I still gotta put the cabinet back on, but taking it apart was a breeze and I'm a chick. Definitely worth the extra effort, imo.

[@michaelmashburn6068]

Great video! Do you happen to know where the lint filter is on this model? Our clothes are coming out with tons of lint on them and I need to clean it. Any help is appreciated!

[@tubejim101]

Though lint filters where in dryers.

[@krystlepaez3675]

I bought a new pump online should be coming soon, but I am having a hard time putting the cover back on lol

[@tubejim101]

Are you talking about the whole washing machine cover?

[@krystlepaez3675]

@@tubejim101 yes, I saw how I'm supposed to tilt it towards me but the bottom sides do not want to line up.

I'm having trouble getting the pump off. Hoses have been detached and clips removed

[@halliejohnson3782]

My washer has only a small amount of water filling the tank....is the repair you show in this video going to fix the problem?

[@tubejim101]

I don't think so. On many washers, there is some kind of sensor, to tell the water level. I would start with checking the water level sensor.

[@tubejim101]

Here is a video that shows some things to check: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH66mp2ZhNmchpI

[@Bradwick1]

Does the new pump spin with any more or less resistance? Having trouble determining if mine is going bad. No leaks but its not easy to spin.

[@tubejim101]

If it is not leaking, I would leave it alone. If it is hard to turn, you might have a sock, or something stuck in it.

[@cdcVintage]

Signs that a water pump is going bad? Water leakage or not draining?

[@tubejim101]

Leaking yes, not draining, most likely something else.

[@cohara41]

Jim, how come your water pump came off so easy & mine is seized & won't come off no matter how hard I pull. Is it rusted onto the motor shaft?? Thanks.

[@tubejim101]

Do you have the same machine that is used in the video?

[@cohara41]

@@tubejim101 Yes, it was just rusted on to the motor shaft. Took a long time & muscle but it finally came off. Not easy like the videos. LOL.. Cheers.

[@tubejim101]

@@cohara41 Was going to say, hit it with some wd40 and wait 15 minutes, but wanted to make sure you had the same one. Some of the appliances have the whole bottom peace as one unit, that you can not service. End up paying lots of money because you can't just swap out the broken part. Glad it all worked out.

[@richardmayberry6393]

You need to turn the lights on. Can't see anything

[@tubejim101]

Wow, can't believe that was made in 2016, and still helping people out. Next time I make a water pump video on a Kenmore 80, I will make sure you can see everything.

[@jlamb199]

@@tubejim101 Yeah Jim!! You are! Because these machines refuse to die!! I watched this about 5 times in two days!!! Just putting the clips on then reinstall the cabinet and all systems GO! Hopefully this will solve my Kenmore 80 drenched clothes problem. Repair Clinic didn't have a diagnostic video for me. Only one guy did... but our machine doesn't HAVE a load sensor switch! Wish me luck! Judy 👩‍🔧😂

[@tompritch56]

How did you know the pump was the issue? I'm to assume that water just won't drain out properly? Thanks for the great information. So simple...

[@tubejim101]

It was leaving a puddle of water on the floor. Here is a long winded video that shows me figuring it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHq8mqVohrWZsJI

[@tompritch56]

Thanks for the followup. I watched the video and that was very helpful. The issue we are having is that the water will not drain out after the rinse. No water leaking on floor. Wonder if it could be the lid switch instead? Is there a way to determine if the water line might be clogged? Thanks again. Sorry to bother you about this.

[@tubejim101]

If while the machine is working, and you open the lid. If everything stops, your lid switch should be good. Can you tell if your pump is kicking on?

[@tompritch56]

Taking a closer look, what is happening is, first it is not spinning, 2nd, with lid closed it sounds like it is. I'm thinking now that the plastic star shaped piece that is behind motor may be worn and spinning on shaft. I'm going to dismantle and look this evening.Thanks again.
