Our 10 year old washing machine pump motor has a small leak around the shaft.
1. Download Fisher and Paykel service manual from the web.
2. Order new pump from ebay (from ASAP spare parts) for $36.30.
3. Undo old motor and put new motor in – I DIDN’T EVEN NEED A SCREW DRIVER – It just had a plastic tab to flip and the pump motor screwed out with 1/3 turn.
TIME TAKEN:
Diagnose leaky pump: 15 min
Find and order part: 30 min.
Time for part to arrive: 4 days.
Undo old pump and install new pump: 5 min.
Thanks Fisher and Paykel.
