- This video shows you how to remove the front panel on a front load washer when you need to access the drain pump.
You can access the washer's drain pump through the hole in the bottom of the washer, but really I think this is slightly less frustrating to work on it this way.
Washer Not Spinning or Draining
Once you have the front panel off, now you can watch these two other videos on front load washer repair.

Thanks for Watching and Be sure to Subscribe to my channel for more repair videos on appliances! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Cleaned out pump as directed, lots of crud and change in the filter!
Never would have imagined!
Toughest part was trying to get those clips back on so I just put the adjustable hose clamps back on and it worked Great!
The door bellow is a pain as well there is a channel on the back side that needs to be fit all around the door and then you put the ring back on, it took a lot of cuss words to finally figure it out.
Thanks for all your help!
It works like a charm.
Mr. Newberry: VERY CLEAR video on how to remove the front panel I just HATE the videos that only describe PARTIALLY what to do? They assume you already know how to do some of the steps. Well, if I knew THAT, I wouldn't have to watch their video in the first PLACE! Thanks for being so clear in your steps.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!! After fighting with repairs guys for days I decided to give it a try. All the other videos online don't show what to do if you don't have the bottom panel. You explained it perfectly. Thanks again.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Between this and the clearing out the drain pump video (and a little elbow grease from my husband) I was able to fix my washer! The coin catcher was SOOOOO full of gunk and the water was nasty. No wonder our clothes weren't getting clean! Thank you!
Bill you rock!! I just followed the video and cleaned out the filter. YUCK! A broken credit card and $4.40 in change clogged the filter along with some unslighty muck! Working like a charm! Thank you! I easily saved over $100 or more in service fees!
Thanks, after watching your videos, I managed to unclog my washing machine pump. I could not have done it without this video.
Thank you so much, your video has saved me a lot of time, effort, and money. Twice I've had to do this now with our Frigidaire washer to clear out that trap, and it's gone so smoothly thanks to your help. You are wonderful.
how do you remove the front panel that has a drawer attached?
+Dianna Benson-Bell The drawer is a separate pedestal cabinet; the washer sits on top of it.
I was removing the panel right along with your video and pausing it as I went from step to step. My friend, you saved me a lot of time and effort. I cleaned out the pump, put it all back together without any leftover parts and its like new. Thank you for being kind enough to post this video.
+Brian McAllister Awesome Job! Comments like this are what make this worth it. Again, Awesome Job!
Me too!!!
I agree same here. Thanks so much
@@BillNewberry Thanks so much for taking the time to make and post this awesome video!
This is great. About to take on this task - I wish that you had videos showing how to put it back together -- like how to get the metal piece back in and door lock assembly back in, etc. May be over thinking it. Fingers crossed.
+Renee Kemper You'll do fine. Just take your time!
How'd you do?
We have this exact washing machine bought it brand new with matching dryer in 2010 and they still work....10 years!!! The pump was replaced once but my husband hasn't tried this, cleaning the pump and I believe this is our whole problem. Thank you A tip for the dryer is to make sure you clean the lent filter with tooth brush and soap a few times a year. I guess fabric sheets leave an invisible barrier.
Outstanding video. Very helpful and got the main know replaced!
I memorized these steps and surprised my family with being able to fix the washing machine. This video is a God-send. Thank you so much for taking the time out to show step-by-step instructions. You have made my day! :)
What a great design! To access the drain pump you need to remove the lower front panel, and to do that, you need to remove the top panel and the front panel, the door and pry off the rubber ring... I'll never get it back on right.
Yours plus the two other videos I watched before I opened my unit made me feel like I had already been in the machine by time I pulled the pump input boot out. And it was full of all kinds of string, lent, and even some change. Thanks for the help. Probably save me a couple more hours of work figuring it out.
Thanks for the video help. I'd have never figured this out on my own. Saved me a service call and learned something new!
Thanks for the video. I got it fixed and put back together in 30mins. No problems at all. The alternative was spend 700+ on a new washer. You saved me big time.
OMG! Thank you so much! I just madean appointment with the repairman today for next week but I think with this instructional video I can get it done!
Thanks so much for this video. Once I found the E21 error code for ‘drainage problem’ I quickly found your video and 1.5 hrs later, it was fixed. Really appreciate you putting this up!
I totally agree with Brian. I just did the same thing two nights ago, and the instruction was excellent. going to leave a comment on the pump video also.
Thank You so Much. My Husband and I found $2.52, in the water pump area. We are so grateful for your help.
Bill. super job. succinct. Very straight forward. Many thanks!
This video is a tremendous help!
Thanks!!
Getting ready to do this for a 2nd time in past couple years thanks again for this great video!
Bill thanks for this video ! You saved me about 150$ ! Easy to put back together except for the spring clamp holding the boot to the pump , I replace it with a regular hose clamp !thanks man
never mind found your other video that explains how to get into drain pump,thanks for sharing
This video helped me fix my washer thank you
This did a lot to help me, thank you so much. Now I just gotta put it back together. :)
Thanks Bill. Very helpful.
Your video was how I thought I would need to do on my Frigidaire washer. I don't seem to have any problems. My problem is the smell from the machine. I keep the door open at all times yet there is this smell. I have used distilled vinegar which helps but the smell returns. My coins left in my pockets find their way to lay inside the tub. Hopefully there are not others laying inside the rubber tubing where you pulled out the plastic cup. Thanks for the video and you did well.
You've saved me some money! Thanks!
Not sure I already posted or not but I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome videos! I literally couldn't of did it with your help! 👍
Thank you so much. So easy to follow and do. Saved my family so much money. I knew it could be done. I wont say your name when I show the hubby i did it. He wanted to call a fix it guy. Thanks again for your help.
Angela Heindl You showed him! Way to go! Great Job on your Repair!
I only found a quarter but at least it's money coming in instead of going out! I don't know how much it would've cost to pay someone to clean out the coin trap of all the dog hair that was in it but thanks for the lesson and saving me money. My washer wasn't draining OR spinning but, after seeing the size of the clog that was in there, I'm waiting for a load to finish and fully expect that it'll work like new!
Fantastic video!
Thanks for the video!
You have saved me from purchasing any machine made like this!!!
Unbelievable that they would manufacture something so complicated all to access the drain pump filter! lol
VERY unwise. :(
My Kenmore he4t was so much easier - large panel across the entire bottom and three screws.
It is hard for me to find a washer like this now.
Thanks a lot for this video. You saved me some cash. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Bless you, good sir.
Thank You Very helpfull
Thank you!
Thank You so much for saving me muncho $$$$
Much Appreciated!!
What if I have a dryer stacked on top and I want to access the drain pump in the front panel without taking out the top ?? Thanks in advance > Also thank you for taking time to post this video . It is very informative and you made it seem very simple !
Thank you!!
Thank you!!!!
Bill, I am extremely nervous about getting the spring, gasket and boot back in. Any tricks? Another video?
thank you!!!
thank you...
Replacing the boot wire is tedious. I used 2 vice grip pliers. Hang the wire (with the spring down) to the top half of the boot. Clamp the wire to the boot halfway down each side. This makes it easier to manipulate the bottom half of wire. I hope this helps.
What model is this washer??? I can't find it anywhere!
Good job man...thanks..how do you get that rubber boot back on the washer door though? Thanks
Awesome video, now how do you put the metal ring back?
Thanks so much, I'm going to try this...so much dog and cat hair I'd assume is in there 😂
Thank you for this video. Man I was able to fix my washer machine. Awesome and very clear instructions
I have the same exact washer but, how do you remove the bottom panel?
I need to fix it because it's rusty.
***edit***
Never mind, I just watched another video of yours that show it.
Thank you for your uploads.
My washer doesn't have a front panel and every youtube tutorial does, so I guess I'm just gonna set my washer on fire and call it a day.
do it have anyway to adjust the water level in Frigidaire front loader washers
My panel came off on the right side where the lock door is at an it's not locking an I'm trying to see if it's a way to put the it back on
I am lost on removing the gasket, I don't feel comfortable using the screwdrivers to do it because I may puncture it, any help for that please?
My washer (Faure fwg3126) has no panels. I suppose lay it on its side to access by the 'soft underbelly'?
at :38 seconds, under the blue water inlets is a rubber boot and clamp. Mine slipped off and is leaking. How do i get to it? Does the side panel come off?
is there a video to put it back together?
Great how about putting it back on???
What if it's got a removable(I think)drawer
Bill thanks....save me
I got almost all done but I am stuck trying to get the ring back around the door (the metal ring that keeps the rubber in place) I've been at it for an hour.. any one else had problems with this?? :/
me to I'm stuck!...how'd u fair?
Uhmm, how can I put them back...? 😢
I wish you lived closer to me. :(
kevin wegrecki We could hang out and tear appliances apart and not put them back together! Where are you from?
Detroit Michigan
And you helped me fix my washer thank you.
Everything has been so clear UNTIL the part of squeezing the tap to get the wires loose from the door - I think it was the only part you didn't actually show yourself doing it, and of course, that's the part I can't figure out. Can anybody help? Have the door prop on a stool and am at end of my wits trying to figure this totally simple step out. Thanks.
I see my code E59 eny body help
Guys, dont watch this part 1:19 with your partner next to you. lol
It is literally impossible to get that metal ring back on. Why you dont make a video dedicated just to this issue is beyond me. I watched another video and the guy put it on simply by putting the ring on around it and pulling slightly either way and boom its on, yeah not happening I had two other people help me, and we would go one way and the goes another way.
By the way I am not DIY illiterate!!
I have put everything in from toilets to whole bath and shower tubs to water heaters to building a room addition to my house to dishwashers to garbage disposables I know my way around a house .
But not this!!
MAKE A VIDEO!!!!
