Repair & Advice
My washer started to leak. After assessing where the water was dripping from, I had to pull the machine out, tilt it sideways and verify the leak was coming from the diverter motor shaft seal. Once I confirmed the source of the leak, I ordered the following replacement parts to complete my repair:
WPW10538166 Grommet
WPW10380258 Washer Arm
WPW10457989 Sump Assembly
WPW10476221 Diffuser
W10843811 Diverter Motor
WPW10705575 Soil Sensor
I pulled old parts, after taking pictures of wiring connections. New parts were assembled on the Sump Assembly base, except the Washer Pump Motor. That needed to be installed after the Sump Assembly was installed in the washer base.
Once all wires and hoses were connected, I reinstalled the washer and connected main power and water supply, then ran a cycle to check for leaks. Total repair was completed in under 2 hours.
