Using this Hanning magnetic pump motor is quite simple. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged. Then, find the old pump in your Hoover, Simpson, or Westinghouse washer. Remove it carefully and note how it's connected. Connect the new pump using the 2 x 6.4mm spade terminals. When installing, ensure the mounting hole spacing of 22.5mm aligns correctly. For the cover, just twist it on. Remember to check the inlet and outlet diameters (32mm and 24mm respectively) match your machine. As for maintenance, keep the pump clean and dry. If there are any issues, contact us as it's fully guaranteed. Since we've been in the appliance parts business for over 25 years, we're here to help you make the most of your purchase.
