11046472500 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

removed bottom panel and took out pump and replaced it with new one

My husband removed the bottom panel of the washer and removed the old pump with two screws, then removed the water hose coming into the pump and unplugged the electrical push in type plug from the side of the pump. Simple reversed the process to instal the new one and replaced the front panel. Simple really...far more so than calling a repair man.

My husband and son removed the old pump and replaced it with the new pump assembly. The whole process took about 30 minutes max.

The most time consuming part was fitting the hose back on because of the confined space. Once on the rest was a snap. The drain pump installed just the same as the video, so watch the video! I think in total it took about 30 minutes to complete.

Remove two star screws. Remove broken striker. Installed new striker. Took two mins.

literally took about 8 minutes, 4 of those minutes were spent trying to pull the 2 little parts (that the blue wires plug into) out of the old dispenser motor. recommended a magnetized screwdriver so you dont drop the screws for the washer top on the floor.

Couldn’t see exactly where it was coming from. Checked the bellow and it looked ok. Took this hose off and it was kinda chewed up a bit where it connects to the tub. Not bad but enough to make it leak. Ordered the new one. Took forever to get here thru fed ex smart post. Repair takes longer to get the panels off than it does to put new hose on. Hope this helps someone out there.

I just took off the old part and installed the new one. The new part was a bit different.

Turned off water unplugged washer removed screws a lot of them.
Removed lower back brace. removed belt. 1 bolt holding motor on removed. disconnected ground wires and motor plug.
wiggled motor out wiggled new one in put belt on and the many screws on the back on turned water back on, plug in and it work like a washer .

I had to cut new slots in the metal base of the machine cabinet to accommodate the different configuration for the rubber boot assembly. Thankfully the new pump works like a charm.

1/4 inch nutdriver, took the top and the front panel of and renew all rubber parts / hoses. It looks less than 1 hours. All parts like factory quality, everything fits perfect.

Took it old pump and replaced with new pump VERY EASY

As video instructed

Replaced drain pump took longer to soak up water than actually replacing the pump motor with mine having the pedestal underneath I did not have to tip the washer at all so it was fast and easy. Three screws taking the front cover off a screwdriver lifting the Rubber and sliding the motor off and pair of pliers 4 to hose clamps making it a breeze.
