How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6008824 / WP387240 Balance Ring

The washer was my daughters and she lives 2 hours away. I purchase everything that could be responsible for the repair. It all disassembled quickly. I took the time to clean the guts of the washer including the outer and inner tub. Took my time on reassembly. Washer is again stable and no shaking or walking during the spin cycle. Thanks for the videos ..... very, very helpful. The gift card with the packing slip was a nice touch. My daughter is happy with her washer again. The spanner wrench was worth the cost. 

REPLACING THE SUSPENSION PADS AND REPLACE THE BALNCE RING EVEN IF MY DIDN'T LEAK ANY FLUID OUT OF IT... IT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT WORKS BETTER NOW THAN IT EVER DID, THE ONLY THING I COULD COME WITH IS THE MANUFACTURE PUT THE WRONG BALANCE RING IN IT TO START WITH... MY IS A 400 KENMORE TOP LOADER, IT IS THE EASIES WASHER I HAVE EVER TAKEN A PART.. I WISH CARS WERE THAT EASY... IT TOOK ME OVER A MONTH FIGHTEN THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE... WHAT BLESSING IT WAS... 

I replaced the Counterbalance Spring, all 6 of the Suspension Pads, and the Ring Balancer. I also replaced the Agitator Dogs and Thrust Space Washer because they were very worn. It works like a charm now!!! 

Ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and followed the instructions from the videos, very helpful and now it works like new. I've ordered parts before for my refrigerator and followed their videos and saved myself hundreds of repair costs. My advice, do the repairs yourself and save by using AppliancePartsPros.com. 

Checked on line for diagnostics. Followed a video from Youtube.there was a Link to Your site and ordered parts. took maybe 30 mins and seems to be working fine! 

After watching the video that Appliance Parts Pros provided. I replace just about all parts that would cause the washing machine to shake and move. Their video on how to replace each part was better than any one I had seen on YouTube. I just want to thank them for providing just great service. Once all parts were replaced I tested it with an empty load it was great. I got behind on my washing and had several loads. The washer does better now then when I first bought it new. The only thing I can hear when doing a load on laundry it the agitator during the wash cycle. I can not hear it when it goes into the spin cycle. I can not say enough about the outstanding help Appliance Parts Pros video are when doing a repair. 

Watched several videos on the repairs most likely needed to fix my problem. I had bought my washer/dryer used and the washer had always had a pretty good shake/vibration when spinning, but had recently become even more violent. Searched for the recommended parts and discovered Appliance Parts Pros.com. Also watched videos associated with the parts I needed to replace which were with the listings of those parts. Needed were the suspension springs, tub spring, and the balance ring. I replaced them all myself, problem solved! 

Replaced balance ring, spring and white skid plate rests. Ended up the problem was with the white bumper rests. I didn’t think they would make a difference, but they did. Project took longer than anticipated, but it runs great now. Videos were extreemley helpful if I got into a jam. I had two issues different videos helped me solve. Good project overall. 

Replaced the suspension pads (and the balance ring), The key element was paying attention to the excellent "how to do this repair" on the page where you order the part! 

I replaced the balance ring sitting on top of the tub. The fluid in it had leaked or evaporated.
