Step 6Detaching the Motor

Detaching the Motor
Two retaining clips hold the pump to the front of the motor. Pop them off and you can pull the pump off of it's axle and rotate it out of your way. Don't take the hoses off, there's no need and if there's any water left in your washer tub you'll soon be sitting in a puddle.

You may not need to remove the pump. I left the pump attached to the motor and was able to move the pump/motor assembly out of the way together. If there are any other wires attached to the motor assembly besides the main harness, such as a condensor on the side as with my Kitchen-Aid, mark them as to what goes where.
