Trying to get to the motor - Kenmore Washing Machines

Thank you!

Here is how to get the motor off.

-Run the machine in a drain/spin cycle to remove as much water as
possible

-Unplug the power cord, if you
wish to have more room to work it may be beneficial to remove the hoses
from the machine as well (your call)

- Tip the machine up so you
can work under the front, be sure to support it so it does not fall on
you. You can also lay the machine down while working on it, just be sure
lay it down slowly and gently.

There is a diagram at the bottom
of these instructions, the numbers in parenthesis on these instructions
refers to the part number on the diagram.

- In the front center
bottom you will see a white colored pump (22) with 2 hoses on it. There
are spring clips(21) that will release the pump, use a flat blade
screwdriver to pry them off then pull the pump straight off the motor.
You can leave the hoses on or if you want more room you can take them
off, but you will need some towels to clean up the water if you take
them off.

- Remove the 2 screws (23) from the clips holding the
motor on. Unclip the wire harness (20) from the motor and pull off, it
may be stiff.

- Remove the 2 spring clips (17) from the motor
the same way you took them off the pump. Pull the motor off.

- Stand machine back up and
reconnect all hoses and cords.
