Do-It-Yourself Story

Originally I ordered the Bearing, Seal and Shaft kit. Replaced the bearings, seal and shaft. After running the Automatic Diagnostic all was fine till the spin cycle. Yes it started to shake again. For anybody that has watched the videos on this problem, there has been no mention of checking the two (2) bushings molded into the Basket itself. Some people are calling the basket a tub, this is incorrect. The tub is the large plastic unit that actually contains the Bearing, seal, shaft assembly. The Basket (which actually holds the clothes) slides down over the newly installed shaft. If the the two (2) bushings (or bearings) that are molded into the basket are worn this will cause the basket to tilt slightly causing it to rotate out of center. You will definitely have an unbalanced load again and again. I priced a comparable new Washer at $1,090.00 and due to the shortage problem in the stores, you can not even get one for weeks. I have clothes to wash soooo onward. I am waiting for the delivery of the new basket, support rods and the Rotor position sensor. Should be here shortly. Appliance parts pros has the fastest ordering and shipping I have ever seen. I will follow up this report when the other new parts are installed. Thanks Guys and Gals at Appliance Parts Pros. Joe. Note, below it asks how long the job took. Can really say till the whole job is completed. The Bearing, seal, shaft replacement took about 30 minutes, but you need to wait till the sealant dries overnight.
