Robert for Model Number A412 My washer vibrated on the spin cycle. I found the damper pads damaged and out of position, so I installed a damper pad kit. I had difficulty removing the brake without the proper removal tool, and had to make my own, otherwise the repair went smoothly. After reassembly the vibration problem has been corrected, but the agitator does not work during wash and rinse cycles. Instead, the agitator and drum spin (slowly). The agitator seems to hesitate and start to reverse once as the cycle starts, but after that the entire assembly spins. Have I damaged the brake? Some other component? Is there another explanation. Thanks in advance.
Answer Hello Robert, the drive lug may not be adjusted correctly, this is from the service manual: Place the rotor bearing on the drive pulley with the cupped side down over hub of the pulley. Turn the drive pulley onto the shaft and run it up till tight. Install the drive lug on the end of the drive shaft directly across from the pulley lug (180deg) with the pulley still run up tight.one side of the drive lug is flat compared to the other side. The flat side should be towards the pulley. Release the pulley and let it drift down against the drive lug. Now run the pulley back up the driveshaft until you begin to encounter resistance. Check the positions of the drive lug and the pulley lug. The two lugs should have about 1/4" space between them. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, June 11, 2020
