Using this Haier front loader washing machine electric pump assembly is a breeze. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. Locate the old pump and carefully remove it by disconnecting the inlet and outlet hoses and the electrical connections. Then, install the new pump in the same position. Connect the hoses and the 6.4mm spade terminals. Plug in your washing machine and test it. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to check the lint filter regularly. Although the filter is not available separately, cleaning it when you notice a build - up of lint or debris can help the pump work more efficiently. As for storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If you experience any issues, don't hesitate to reach out as this product comes with a full guarantee.
