Some times the unit will not spin. Not all the time but some times. I moved the basket until it won't turn anymore and it begins to spin. It seems that it isn't a "Hard Part" broken because most of the time it works well. One would think that if it was a "Hard Part" broken, it would always be broken.

The machine shakes and makes a knocking noise when it is on spin cycle. It aggitates fine and I've changed the clutch assembly and it still does this. What else could it be?

Answer Hello Ed, You should check your suspension springs W10250667 to make sure that one has not come loose or is bad. Also if it checks ok then you would want make sure that there is not damage to the drive block389140.

Tim S for Model Number LSR8444LQO

Answer Tim, It could be an issue in the brake shoes and pads, but check the drive block first 389140 If the interior slots are distorted or damaged, the drive block will continue to spin for several revolutions making a very loud noise. You will need to remove the agitator and the tub locking nut to investigate. Good Luck and Thanks

Lorista for Model Number taws800jq1

Answer Lorista, Sure sounds like the brake pads are worn out or "stuck" in the retracted position. Heres some help from the APP Repair Forum: [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/washer-repair/3265-replacing-direct-drive-washer-brake-shoes.html], it should be a great help in diagnosing the drive system on your washer. Thanks and Good Luck

Hi, I have a Whirlpool that intermittently cannot get into the high spin mode. Recently, I cannot get it to spin on high. I have made it to the removal of the spin tube (which has no corrosion). I did not have black dust on the floor, but instead, on-top of the transmission. Is this normal due to the brakes stopping the basket when the lid is opened during spin? Or is this an indication that my brakes are dragging during spin and therefore unable to obtain the high spin speed? Note, I have not noticed any burning or smoking smell if it were the brake pads rubbing. If the washer still spins, but cannot get to the high spin, what else could be happening? Thank you in advance-

Mark

Answer Hello Mark. It sounds like the clutch assembly 285785 is bad and will need to be replaced. The new clutch assembly will come with new brakes as well. Hope this helps.

I have a whirlpool washer and it will not spin properly. When it does it doesnt get all the water out on heavy loads such as towels or jeans but ususally does fine on the other loads as long as they are not to wet. What could be causing this? I had kind of the same problem a few years back and I think all the repairman replaced was the brake pads.

Sharon

Answer Hi Sharon. Your motor is "coupled " to your transmission by a motor coupler part # 285753A. When this partially fails it can give the same symptoms. If you have black dust under the uint, centered on the floor then this is the Issue. Thank you.
