1 Answer Russ, When this occurs you will have a bad bearing in the rear outer drum and possibly a spider arm broken. A complete teardown would reveal the spider to check it out. It's a good idea to replace the bearing no matter what if you tear it down that far. Read More...
Mary June 30, 2014 for Model Number EIFLS55IIWO I am moving and have been told I need "dryer pins" or pins that I was supposed to have received when I bought the washer in case I move it. They are used to stabilize the drum so it isn't damaged. I cannot find pins anywhere? What am I looking for?
1 Answer Hello Mary. There is no shipping pins for the dryer. It is fine to move it without them. Read More...
John B April 24, 2012 for Model Number 417.41042000 Is it possible to insert the new pin from the front of the washer instead of the back? I have already removed the front panel and the back is up against a wall?
1 Answer Hello John. Yes, you can insert the pin 131268300 from the front, if you can reach and access the shock assembly. If not, will need to go through the back access. Read More...
1 Answer Hello John. Remove the back access panel and access the shocks on the washer. Then with a pair of pliers, you will squeeze the locking tab on the pin and slide it out of the shock assembly. Once removed, you will line the holes up on the outer tub and the shock and press the new pin 131268300 into the hole. Read More...
