Jim for Model Number WTW7800XW4 I'm trying to determine if I need new bearings or new suspension rods on my Whirlpool Cabrio washer. Washer has been quite loud during operation for a few weeks, but had no problem completing full wash cycles. About a week ago, a high-pitched squeal began to be heard, not constantly, but periodically during operation. As of yesterday, the common problem described by so many people on this site began to occur, namely a "uL" code and a need to restart the machine (even though the loads were not lopsided). Today the problem became dire, as the machine stopped constantly, and didn't even seem to want to remove the "uL" code after the usual lid lifting routine. Have been reading up on these machines all evening, and I still can't be sure if the problem is the bearing or the suspension rods! Any help will be most appreciated!
Answer Jim, based on the information provided, the bearings in the tub assembly are failing and creating the high pitched noise. When the bearings fail, it can create tension on the motor assembly and cause it to behave similarly to an unbalanced load. To replace the bearings, the tub bearing kit W10435302 and installation tool W10447783 would be needed, or the entire tub assembly W10193886 can be replaced. Read More...
