your first step is to move the control panel out of the way
to do this remove the screws found either end
on some models these screws may be located in the rear panel
or they may be covered by plastic end caps
pull the end cap off from the top to access the screw
remove both screws
and rotate the panel up
some models use clips instead of screws to secure the control panel
insert a putty knife between the control panel and the cabinet to release the
clips
unplug the wire connector
and snap out the spring clips using a flat head screw driver
tilt the cabinet toward you slide forward and remove
you'll need to remove the pump first to access the motor
unset the retainer clips
and wiggle the pump off of the motor shaft
move it to the side
detach the motor wiring harness
next removed the two screws from the motor retainer clips
and snap off the bottom clip
since the motor is heavy
support it with your hand as you snap off the top clip
now pull the motor out
remove the three parts of the old drive coupler
the aware you may need to use force to successfully removed them
you're now ready to install the new drive coupler
carefully push one cog of the new coupler onto the gear case driveshaft as
far as it will go and slide the new isolator onto it
carefully push the other card onto the motor shaft
until it is flush against it
line up the prongs on the cog with the holes in the isolator and slide the
motor into position
reinstall the retainer clips and screws
reconnect the motor wire harness
align the motor shaft with the pump and slide the pump on
reinstall both pump clips
now reinstall the cabinet

the tabs on each side of the base frame

reinstall the spring clips
reattach the wire connector
rotate the control panel down and lock the clips into place

caps by aligning the tab with the slot at the bottom and snapping the cap
into position
