How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6005824 / WP21366 Washer Spanner Nut

Already had all the springs and wear pads. Disassembled, replace them and the tube seal and spanner nut. Works like a new washing machine. Love your customer service, 

Replaced the parts ordered. 

Replaced gearbox, Spanner nut and agitator. Due to water corrosion, I had to cut the old Spanner but into pieces to remove it, then make a driver to drive the gearbox shaft out of the drum and wedge lock. 

I replaced the drive block and spanner nut. It was an easy fix. I watched the instructional video on your website. It was very helpful and informative. It helped me to get the job done. Thanks! 

Replaced tub drive block and spanner nut. Instructions video was very clear and accurate. Should have gotten a new bolt and rubber washer for the agitator, but was able to reassemble. 

The block and the nut were heavily corroded. Removing the old nut was very difficult, because the basket was free to rotate, using a spanner wrench just rotated the whole assembly, including the driveshaft. So I had to tap the spanner nut off with a hammer directly, striking it just right so it was spin relative to the block. Once off. I pulled the basket out and again had to use a hammer to tap the block off the shaft (WD40 was used liberally in both cases). I cleaned the shaft with a steel brush and more WD40, and cleaned the receptacle of all debris. Then it was very easy to put on the block, the basket, and tighten down the spanner nut. 

Watched the videos to see how to replace the transmission. If I were going to go that far I wanted to go ahead and replace the drum gasket. I could not get the Drive nut off, so I ordered a new one in case I had to cut off the old one. Ordered a drive nut wrench, new drive nut, tub gasket, and the transmission. The old nut came off with the wrench, the tub gasket was easy to replace once you have the tub out, transmission was easy, I used my pressure washer to make the “innards “ look like new, and after I had it put back together, it appeared to do the same thing (without the Scary grinding noise). Found a video that said you have to “align the support plate with the bracket or it will be out of balance and NOISY!” Took it back apart and sure enough, I didn’t “align..:”. Hey three times is a charm! There was no definitive way to diagnose the transmission, so I replaced the 17 year old one on principle. Works great! What’s New? Since I’ve owned it: Dogs, transmission, tub gasket, drive coupling, lid switch, clutch. Love this machine! 

Replaced the inner tub that was rusted and broken. In order to get the tub out, I had to remove the spanner nut. I could not remove the nut with the spanner wrench I bought, so I cut off the spanner nut with a hack saw. Once the nut was removed, I was able to remove the broken inner tub, and install the new one. I replaced the spanner nut and drive block with parts I ordered from APP. Everything works great. Washer agitates and spins again. Happy to keep my old workhorse washer running. 

First I replaced the clutch agitated like a champ but no spin so I ordered the washer Drive block and spanner wrench that fix the problem and now works great thanks appliancepartspros.com 

I followed your YouTube video almost step-by-step and got the job done. My Whirlpool WTW4800XQ2 washer was slightly different but thanks to your video and website that mentioned problems and possible repairs I was able to repair my washer instead of being forced to buy a new one (which isn't in the budget right now, if you know what I mean).
