Re: Water Pump Reply #25 – May 01, 2024, 01:58:49 pm Yeah, keep it simple. Remove the panel under the sink and remove and replace the pump. As long as you are capable of laying on the floor which you would have to do either way. I replaced mine a few years ago, it had a date on it of 1999. There was nothing note worthy about the job. I would avoid pulling out the converter, seems like more trouble than it is worth. On a side note, a year before the pump went I replaced the original converter.
Re: Water Pump Reply #26 – May 02, 2024, 12:06:01 am Removing the converter isn’t difficult, the four screws on the front cover need removing, they may have Torx heads, if so, another new tool.Amazon.com : torx driver foldingOnce the front hinged cover is off, remove the four screws around the converter’s perimeter that are securing the converter in the cabinet’s frame. Next, pull the converter out gently, it should come out 2-4†depending on how generous the electrician was feeling that day.Switching from a 5.7 Shur Flo to a 4008 requires re-orientating the pump, probably needing new hoses and switching mounting positions, they are very differently shaped pumps. The 4008 pump's mounting screws should require new holes.It’s a bit of a project. Once done, future replacements are much simpler.The 5.7 Shur Flo was a poorly built pump with a high failure rate, the Mothership gave up on them after a few years and went to the more dependable 4008.Larry As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Water Pump Reply #28 – May 02, 2024, 08:30:54 pm thanks Larry! got the converter out easy, the 4 screws. yes, the replace was a bit of a project! 4008 is smaller than the old 5.7. I'd already scheduled a mobile tech to come out to replace the circuit board in the AC yesterday, and "luckily" the water pump started leaking the night before so he helped with that while he was here, so at least it wasn't a separate house call charge. That circuit board seemed to do the trick, no more clicking with AC running. But will be putting it to the test later in the summer I'm sure! Daryl 1 Likes
