Customer Questions and Answers for Transmison by Whirlpool

Mark, raise and block the front of the washer up(you can remove the front panel, if you want)) remove the belts. Grasp and turn the transmission drive pulley and turn it clockwise, aftwer approximately 1/2 to 3/4 revolution, the brake should "unlock" and the tub should start to spin. Turn the pulley counter clockwise, it should be a bit easier to turn, and have a helper look in the drum and check to see that the agitator is iscillating. If all OK, you'll need to look at the motor carriage and rollers, motor, and pump. If it is hard to turn clockwise, you'd have a worn out tub bearing assembly. If you cant turn the pulley counterclockwise, or it makes noise,then you'll need the transmission, tub bearing and tub seal kits.
