If your Model 01536-1 washer pump is not functioning correctly, it may be due to a faulty sensor. Replacing the sensor is a relatively straightforward process, and can be done in just a few simple steps.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you begin, you will need the following tools and materials:

• A new sensor

• Pliers

• Adjustable wrench

• A flat-head screwdriver

Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing the Sensor

1. Locate the Sensor: The sensor is located near the base of the washer pump, and is connected to the electrical wiring.

1. Disconnect Power: Before proceeding, be sure to disconnect power to the washer pump to avoid the risk of electric shock.
2. Remove the Electrical Wiring: Using pliers, gently remove the electrical wiring from the sensor.
3. Remove the Old Sensor: Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the retaining nut that holds the sensor in place. Then, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the old sensor out of its socket.
4. Install the New Sensor: Place the new sensor into the socket, and tighten the retaining nut with the adjustable wrench.
5. Reattach the Electrical Wiring: Reattach the electrical wiring to the new sensor, making sure that it is securely connected.

Right-Hand Thread or Left-Hand Thread?

It is important to note that the thread direction of the retaining nut on your Model 01536-1 washer pump sensor may be either right-hand or left-hand. To determine which direction your pump has, simply look at the direction that the nut turns when you loosen it. If it turns to the right, it is a right-hand thread.
