Discover how to efficiently replace the Fisher Paykel 479595 Washer Water Pump Assembly with our detailed guide. Keep your washer in top shape with these easy instructions.
The Fisher Paykel 479595 Washer Water Pump Assembly is a vital part of your washing machine’s operation. When it malfunctions, your washer may struggle to drain water, leading to other potential problems. Replacing this part might seem daunting, but with the right tools and instructions, you can do it yourself and restore your washer’s performance.
Before starting, gather the necessary tools and the replacement part. Here’s what you’ll need:
Your first priority should be safety. Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet to avoid any risk of electric shock while working on it.
To reach the water pump assembly, you’ll need to remove the washer’s back panel. Use a screwdriver to take out the screws holding the panel in place, then carefully set the panel aside. With the panel removed, locate the water pump assembly near the bottom of the washer.
Place a bucket or towels under the water pump to catch any residual water. Using needle-nose pliers, remove the hose clamps securing the hoses to the pump. Carefully slide the hoses off the pump connections. Next, disconnect the electrical connectors from the pump by pulling them off the terminals with care.
With the hoses and wires detached, unscrew the water pump assembly from its mounting location. Lift the old pump out of the washer and set it aside.
Take the new Fisher Paykel 479595 Water Pump Assembly and align it with the mounting points where the old pump was located. Secure it with screws, ensuring the pump is firmly attached.
Reconnect the hoses by sliding them onto the new pump’s connections and securing them with the clamps. Then, reattach the electrical connectors to the appropriate terminals on the new pump. Double-check that all connections are tight and secure.
Once the new pump is installed, replace the back panel of the washer. Secure the panel with screws, making sure everything is properly aligned.
Plug the washer back into the power outlet and run a test cycle. Watch for proper water drainage and check for any leaks. If everything works as expected, the repair is complete.
Replacing the Fisher Paykel 479595 Washer Water Pump Assembly on your own not only saves you money but also extends the life of your washing machine. With this new pump in place, your washer should run efficiently, free from the drainage issues that were causing trouble before.
