Just finished installing a new water pump on my 2000 Splendid washer/dryer. What a job. Had to remove the drawers from the chest of drawers in the bedroom. Remove the rear wall from the cabinet above it. Then attempt to make my 230 lb body bend and twist into a very limited space to remove the rear panel from the washer/dryer. Lighting is never where you need it. All in all, a two hour job but mommas happy now and you know if mommas happy....................
Next RV will have the washer/dryer mounted on the roof.

Wouldn't it have been easier to pull the Splendide out to work on it? I know that's the ONLY way to get to ours.

Six screws & 5 minutes, pull it out & set it on the floor, much easier to work on.

Be glad you could do the work, just think what it would have cost you to have it fixed.

Not where mine is located. Its in the bathroom and to remove it, I'd have to tear down one of two interior walls and still have to probably remove it through the bedroom escape window. We don't want to go there
