Allen for Model Number wtw6600sw2 My Whirlpool Cabrio top loading washer always goes unbalanced when it hits a certain rpm around medium, almost like harmonics and starts bouncing up and down violently. Replaced the four suspension springs, bearings and shaft. I haven't replaced the balance rings yet... which I believe are part of the drum and you would have to replace the whole drum on this unit. I have pulled the drum and it has no leaks where the balance rings are. The bottom ring which is basically the whole bottom is in good shape and seems to have liquid in it hard to tell how much. The top ring has liquid in it as well and is in good shape seems to be half full, but looks like it is two pieces sandwiched together. Wondering if there are two rings on the top of this model? Also wondering maybe the suspension springs I bought were garbage and not doing there job, how would I test the springs if they were good even though they are new? In the process of replacing the washer hub kit soon as I receive them, but really doubt that is the problem. Last step is the drum itself because tha'ts all that left. What do you think?
Answer Allen, you can test suspension rods by pressing the tub assembly down as far as you can and quickly releasing. The tub should rise right back up and not bounce up and down. The basket will only have one counter balance fluid ring on the top. You may want to double check to make sure the new suspension rods are seated fully at the top of the frame as this can cause issues. You may also want to check to ensure that the unit is level.
