My Amana LW8203W2 washer makes a lot of noise and leaks a little, particularly as it goes through the spin cycle. I thought that the bearing had gone, and ordered a new one. Can anyone help provide instructions on how I get the bearing changed? Do I turn the waher over and try to remove the motor and shaft from the bottom? Thanks in advance for your help.

I wonder if italia100 can help me with my request for the wiring diagram/schematics of the Amana LW8203W2?

I have the same model but it is ok. Since you did not specify where leak originates, I suggest these: take out inner tub (remove agitator first) and see if there's leak in the outer tub or worn out rubber around the base of shaft in the tub; check drain hose connection to the pump; check pump itself. Please let me know. If you can open the back of the control panel and find the wiring diagram still intact, I am very interested in getting a copy or, faster still, if you could let me know the following:
Color of wires going to the three terminals on the pressure switch(the round thing where the while hole is attached). There are two pinkblum wires to terminal 3? a red/black to terminal 2? an gray black to terminal 1?Also wire colors going to the temperature switch. 3 wires, orange blue and black. I once worked on a leaking washer and almost gave up before I happened to find a pin size hole in the drain hose--from constant rubbing with the cabinet. Good luck and pls let me know if I can help further. You may email me.

The outer tub on my amana, (same model) had a hole from rusting through. You might want to check for that
