Hello, Recently, our washer did not spin fast so the clothers were still very wet. I purchased and replaced the clutch. (Thanks for your website and videos.) Now it seems to spin faster but not spin long enough and the rinse seems to think it is done even though there is sometimes soap bubbles still visible on the spun clothes or the inside of the basket. Several questions: 1) What else can be problem? 2) Is there a way to check the drive block without disassembly? 3) You never mention the part number or source for the drive block spanner wrench. Is there a kit that contains both wrench and drive block? 4) With the unit disassembled for clutch replacement (I took it apart again to double check my clutch install) I can spin the clutch housing counterclockwise and it eventually engages with the transmission and turns the motor shaft, but when i spin the housing clockwise, it never turns the motor shaft. Is this normal action? Thanks

Long story short: Due to a non-spin scenario, I replaced the motor coupler (twice!), then I replaced the clutch innerds and cam. Now when it spins, it makes a lot of noise and only "indexes" about an inch or two at a time. I've watched a number of your videos, but don't feel confident that any particular fix will do the job. Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

On the washer drive block, there are two notched out places. When my washing machine is in the spin cycle, the agitator will turn and the washer drive block will turn. On the shaft there are two ridges. As the agitator turns around, the notches on the washer drive block will rise up on the spurs until reaching the notched out places on the washer drive block, then the agitator will drop back down causing a very loud drop sound. How do I stop this from happening?

If the spanner nut was put on too tight, would that affect spinning at all?

I am having intermittent problems with my washer spinning slowly or not spinning at all, other times it works fine. If this is due to a worn drive block, what specifically should I be looking for visually?

When the wash cycle is initiated there is a loud squeel from the machine until it moves into the next cycle. What may the problem be?

My Whirlpool top load washing machine goes thru the wash cycle ok but when the rinse cycle starts, the pump starts pumping the water out but the machine doesn't spin. If I push in the knob on the timer to turn off the machine and then pull the knob back out,the washer will spin normally. I have replaced the coupling and clutch and jumpered out the lid switch. Any ideas?

How do you know that the drive block is the only part that requires replacing? I see comment above about machine gun like noise. Ours started doing that occasionally during agitate cycle and the clothes would wrap around the agitator very tightly. The noise would often go away if the clothes were carefully unwrapped and the washer restarted. I attempted to remove the agitator using the instructions in Sears Do It Yourself Kenmore Automatic Washer (Direct Drive) repair manual but after removed the bolt, the agitator would not come out of the tub (and I was afraid to break something if I pulled too hard) so I put it back together. Yesterday, though, the noise migrated to being throughout the entire spin cycle and I told my wife we needed to shut it down. The video shows a special spanner wrench as being necessary to remove the drive block and I also wonder what other parts might be required and how I can tell if they are needed. I have a video I can send anyone who would like to see it - it shows the agitate cycle - I can take another with the spin cycle. Thanks.
