Check the Pump! Replacing Maytag 35-6780 Drain Pump."},"content":{"rendered":"

Washing machines are just like any other durable good we buy for our home, eventually they will wear out and break down. Once this occurs we have three choices. 1. Replace the Washing Machine with new, 2. Call the repair man or 3. Just fix it yourself. According to an article I read in Consumer Reports once the machine hits 5 years you may consider tossing it for new, and at 10 years its a dead man walking.\u00a0 Mine had a leaky pump.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I currently have a Maytag MAV4755AWW that is around 15 years old, during a recent load of laundry water began leaking from the bottom of the machine. Was this the beginning of the end for my reliable Maytag washer? After a quick inspection it appeared that the leak was coming from the washer pump.<\/p>\n

The big question is it worth while to replace the pump or simply replace the washing machine. In this case the pump is under $50 so well worth the time it takes to do this DIY repair!<\/p>\n

Drive Belt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The other item I replaced while I was working on the pump was the washer drive belt. Since you need to remove the drive belt to remove the pump, it made sense to replace.<\/p>\n

Again, a very inexpensive part selling for $7 at Amazon<\/a>.\u00a0 It also fits hundreds of washers\u00a0 21352320 WP21352320 21001478 AP6005822 PS11738882 WP21352320VP 35-2073 35-2320, It is made exactly fit for Maytag, Whirlpool, Magic Chef, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Jenn-Air CLICK HERE!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are a couple of other parts you may consider changing while your doing surgery on your washer, and that would be the TUB-to-PUMP hose and the main drain hose. My parts were in great condition so I just let them be.<\/p>\n
