Using this pump motor is a breeze. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged from the power source to avoid any electrical accidents. Then, locate the old pump motor in your Hoover washing machine. Remove the old one carefully, taking note of how the wiring is connected. Next, connect the new pump motor following the same wiring pattern. Remember, if your original pump had 4.8mm terminals, you'll need to change the crimp terminals on the wiring to 6.4mm. Once everything is connected, secure the new pump motor in place using the mounting holes with a 25mm spacing. Finally, plug your washing machine back in and test it out. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to check the pump motor regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Keep it clean and free from debris. If you notice any strange noises or performance issues, it might be time to give it a closer look or contact us for further assistance. And don't worry, since it comes with a full guarantee, you can rely on us for support.
