I’m a single mom and need to take care of my household. I was waiting for 4th of July sales to buy a new washer machine until I watched your video. It’s amazing how you helped me and I’m sure others in fixing their washing machines. I appreciate you and this video very much I’m thankful that there’s people like you that post!
My toilet won't flush and there's very little water in tank. What does it mean?
Glad to help
That's why I'm here too We are wearing shoes
It's great how a little understanding and instruction can keep these old workhorses running. Thanks for making this video!
One of the best DIY videos on YT. Great detailed explanation and Academy Award for the camera man. You showed clear close ups at just the right angles. You da man.
Thanks
My Maytag started leaking today. Started doing my research (watching various YT vids to learn what to look for) and found most are not worth my time. Yours is thorough and informative. Great job. Thanks much.
A very detailed video! You covered all the little nuances we amateurs need to know. I'm going to attempt the project myself.
Awesome video! Thanks so much for the help...my old washer and dryer pair, which I paid $100 for 7 years ago get to stay and keep working!
great rainy day activity for sure
Hey Pal, Thanks so much for the great video. I had watched several and they were good but I didn't have a clue till I watched yours. I had it the washer apart and the pump off in about five minutes. I thought the pump looked good. I filled it with water and it leaked like a sieve. Thanks again!
You are awesome, thank you for taking the time teach others
Woke up with a sore back not excited to crawl underneath the washer. Then I saw this video and it was so much easier to access the pump! The existing pump looked decent, so I’m still not positive that was the issue. Replaced it but haven’t run a load yet. Fingers crossed it works.
Thanks man. I'm a Hands-On jack of all trades guy and I usually learn on the job through watching videos like this google research and hands on trial and error (without much error). thanks to you I can now fix the leak in a washer that has already leaked through the floor to the ceiling of downstairs. One more thing I can do to put on my list thanks again
Glad to help
Thanks for the detailed explanation!!!
I’m gonna take mine apart and I’ll let you know how I did! 🤗👍🏼
You are a great instructor may God continue to bless you!!!!
Thanks
Great instructions. You cover all the things everybody skips over. For example the clips on top, and the lip on the bottom.
Thanks
Very good! Really like an actual camera operator, so many try to do it while holding the camera, and it just dosn't work.
Very good video very instructional and informative and I see you used your water pump pliers to install the water pump very good use of tools
Thank you for sharing! Will attempt this soon.
Excellent. Thank you!
Thank you for the informative video. I know exactly what's wrong with my washer. I will get the repair man out here ASAP to fix my machine, without getting ripped off. Thank You!
Glad to help
Very thorough and informative. I’ll be checking out my leaky washer and see what the issue is. This video gave me the confidence to do this. Thank you!
Glad to help
Great job with this tutorial!
Thanks
Hey! Your amazing!! Thank you for this video!!! You made it so easy!
Excellent Video!!! Thoroughly explained everything!!!
Glad to help
@@WasherDryerMoney This is an excellent video. I’m wondering why my washer drains water to the floor during the wash cycle when draining but not during the rinse cycle? Seems like it would drain to the floor on both cycles. Is that telling me something else is wrong? And it doesn’t do it all the time so I’m not sure. Thank you a ton!!
You did a very good job of explaining how to put the housing back on. Some other videos don't explain very well.
Thanks
Very informative. Thank you

Awesome video, thank you!. My washer leaks only during the spin cycle from the left corner (As you face the washer). I have not taken it apart, but wanted to know if this is a symptom of something not worth repairing. Thanks so much!

Glad to help
Thanks much, very informative.
Good stuff bro

Thank you for your video. If water leaking at the pump, would you consider to replace those two hoses?
Great video man. What's the part # for the pump?
the rain and thunder seemed to be appropriate for washer repair
Exellent videos !! That helps a lot !!
Thank you !! 👍*************
Glad to help
Do most top loading machines come apart like this ? I have a FRIGIDAIRE. would be nice if it's like that
Love your videos. Great information. Are you still making vids or did you retire?
Will this part fit all whirlpool Top Load Washing machine old school ??
Nice video, very informative 👍 👌
Great Info and guidance your a blessing , my washer is exactly like the one in your video ,I've had it for 21yrs, it leaked once a year ago the bottom hose on the pump split, now there's a little water on the floor but it's spinning slow and after it stops cloths are still soaked and water comes back in the bottom ,I ran the rinse spin over 3 times ,same results also seems like I smell slight burning odor electrical ,no smoke, pump? coupler? switch? all 3? lol! I'd appreciate your help thanks, God bless .
Sounds like it needs a new clutch.
@@WasherDryerMoney Turns out my discharge hose was clogged up ,cut the clogged part off ,she took off like normal!
Mine seems to be leaking at the shaft, where you noted they usually leak. Do I just replace the pump like you did with this one?
Just replaced mine but the new pump makes a high pitch whine sound is that normal ?
Will it looks the same on kenmore brand same situation???
interesting about the pumps burning up if run dry.
Ya I have seen that a lot.
The average person can't be expected to do this surely. Im tempted to just replace mine.
I could use your help. This is unrelated to this video. I have a Kenmore 90 Series washer. After completing one load of wash I started a second. The tub filled with water, agitated then stopped. No matter what setting I put it in nothing happens. No humming, nothing. Another Kenmore 90 series washer was given to me. It agitated but no spin. After checking it out it was only a loose wire. Plugged it in & it went through the cycles. Put a load of cloths in & the only cycle that will now work is the spin. Any help on either one of these would be appreciated. I did notice same series but different timer control model. I did check the lid switch, both are good. I even jumped them to make sure.
This video is very well done, full view & 👍
Stay safe, Joe Z
The second washe mentioned…
The first thing a Washer will do is call for water from the water valves. If it does nothing, it could be that the cold water valve has gone bad. That would make sense of why you can progress it to spin and it will spin out. You are telling it not to call for water anymore and go to spin cycle.
Quick way to check is turn it to hot water. It will still stop halfway through because the rinse cycle is with cold water, but… if it starts filling with water, you know the cold water valve is out.
The first one you mention does sound like a lid switch if it is not draining the water. Since you said you checked the lid switch the other less common thing it could be is the clutch. It will be obvious if it’s the clutch it will drain the water out and still make noise but not spin.
Thank you for this information. I will try the second one with the hot water. The first one does not hum or make any noise. I just installed a new timer and just as before it will fill with water then nothing.@@WasherDryerMoney
I just went from underneath, pulled the drain pump, but there is not a noticeable problem , no cracks. Could it still be the leaking issue? It does spin, but not smoothly.
Might want to clean up the base and the bottom of the cabinet while your at it!
True
Had a lot of water coming out from underneath during rinse cycle , just a little out of the drain hose. now, no water is coming out of the tub. I'm thinking a clog ??
I have a portable washer it leaks water from bottom can someone help ?
Do you have an example video of what do to when it is corroded behind the water pump? I tried pulling mine off and it won’t come off so I looked with a flashlight and it’s extremely rusted and nasty back there.
I have heard that happened before. Usually you’ll have to break a plastic water pump with a hammer and replace it. Just be careful not to hurt yourself or hurt the motor. Go slow and keep cracking it to pieces until it comes all the way off. a new water pump it’s not that expensive for this type of machine usually less than 20 bucks.
Sometimes the shaft that is rusted and swollen you will have to take a piece of sandpaper and clean it up before the new pump will easily go on.
Will replacing the pump work if my estate is stopping before the spin cycle?
If it stops before the spin cycle that usually means the lid switch has gone out. When the lid switch goes out it thinks the door is open and will not begin spin cycle until the door is closed.
My whilpool started to leak after we moved it to a different house. It doesn't appear to be from the rear of the machine so I'm guessing it's from the bottom.
My insignia womt drain ir spin
How about the valve open and close when I turt it on
?
Mines almost like that, my hose has a big ass whole in it, the water was pouring out. It's the small hose that fills up tub,what is it called, I need that hose. It's not the drain hose..
I have an older Whirpool top loader. Water is leaking from the bottom. My model has a panel in the rear and I think the pump and hoses are right there in the back not in the front like this machine. I tipped in on its front. I only felt water on the middle of the drum. Seemed dry around the hoses? Gotta figure out where this leak is?
Not sure I would have to see what type of machine it was. It must be a very old Whirlpool.
@@WasherDryerMoney No! I was wrong. It has the pump on the front. I am going to change the pump. Start from there.
Are most water pumps the same
i dont see the link. thanks for the video.
I’ll be sure to add it.
Could you tell me why my washer could be leaking from the back of the tub?
If it’s an older, direct drive washer, it may be the tub seal.
What would cause the washer to make a whining sound and to drain slowly or not drain well?
Maybe something stuck in the water pump.
@@WasherDryerMoney Thank you! That's exactly what it was, your video helped me get it apart and I found a baby sock in the water pump, all back together and works like new! Thank you!
Glad to help. It’s crazy that baby sock in the water pump thing happens a lot. I actually have a video dedicated to that problem because of how many baby socks I have pulled out of water pumps.

Where the link to buy the pump??
Ill add them.
What's the reason of leakage below drum?
How to stop leakage
It’s usually the water pump. The next most likely thing would be the drum seal.
All that rust? You must live in the south or somewhere with lots of humidity?

My washer is leaking from the back only when draining
I replaced my pump. Still leaks when spin cycle starts. Should I check the hoses? Right bottom corner
Turn Weird place to be leaking. Some washers have a Pleach dispenser that has a hose that runs into the tub. That hose could’ve come loose.
If you can get the case off the Washer it should be pretty easy to determine where the leak is coming from.
Hello my machine is leaking water from underneath could you please help me out
Yeah, check out this video and see if it’s the same type of machine you have. It’s probably the water pump.
@@WasherDryerMoney ty
I changed the water pump a year ago but it’s water coming out the front again 🤷♀️
Sometimes they last five years sometimes one. Whichever one you got it on Amazon try to go with another brand this time. Good luck
@@WasherDryerMoney I took it apart nothing was wrong my mother overloaded it and I told her to do smaller loads I put it back together and no problems 🤷♀️
It only leaks when there's a full load

Don’t buy on Amazon. You have to pay shipping under 25 bucks. I get them on eBay shipped cheaper.
True but I split a Amazon prime account with a few numbers my family.
This video doesn't explain why the pump would be leaking, and why we know it isn't something else
The pump is all plastic. after while plastic on plastic will just wear out. When it does, it just starts dripping and then pouring if you let it go for too long. The only other thing that can leak on these type of washers is the tub seal, which is pretty rare. Most of the time it’s the water pump.
Why is this particular machine SO DIRTY I saw you have other My Oh My
