Sue January 21, 2016 for Model Number WJRE5500G1WW My washer is making a loud grinding or scraping metal sound when agitating, watching the video I thought maybe it was the tub bearing but when opening the front panel and looking inside there are several small ball bearings laying on the bottom of the washer. My understanding is that the tub bearing does not have actual ball bearings, where did these ball bearings come from? What part do I really need to replace?
Garrett January 17, 2016 for Model Number WJRE5550H1WW I've recently replaced the mode shifter and bearing, but once assembled again the pulley has some play in the teeth of the mode shifter. Is this normal or is the pulley worn?
1 Answer Hello Garrett. It is normal to have a little play in it. As long as the unit is functioning properly, it should be fine. Read More...
Roy February 25, 2014 for Model Number WCSR4170G1WW I noticed some play in the pulley recently while replacing the the drive belt and the pulley seems to be tight. Is there a keyway on the pulley or is the play in the shaft?
1 Answer Hello Roy, This is normally an indication of a failed bearing in the mode shifter assembly WH38X10017. Read More...
Roy K February 25, 2014 for Model Number WCSR4170G1WW I am replacing the belt and noticed the pulley has some play from left to right and makes a noise. Does the pulley have a key way that could be worn? Thanks Roy
1 Answer Hello Roy. No, if the pulley is loose, and you are sure the tub bearings are good, you will need to replace the pulley on the unit. Read More...
Pat January 06, 2014 for Model Number wpre6150k2wt I am just trying to find out if the ball bearings come with the drive pulley or if that is part of the transmission shaft and gear. Thanks for any help
Pat January 06, 2014 for Model Number wpre6150k2wt Does the drive pulley come with the ball bearings or is that part of the transmission gear? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Pat, The drive pulley is simply just the pulley. The bearings are internal to the transmission and are not available without the shaft and tube assembly WH38X10017. Read More...
Bobkentex December 09, 2011 for Model Number WPRE6100G0WT How do you remove the drive pulley? Removed nut holding pulley on shaft, but still cannot lift off shaft.
1 Answer Hi Bob. Since it is very wise to replace the nut anyway, reinstall it until the back side of the nut is flush with the shaft back side. Then take a block of hardwood and squarely hit the back of the shaft a few times to send a jarring effect into the pully spline to loosen it from the shaft. Lubricate it as well with Break Free part # 5303937087. The nut is part # WH2X1203. The pulley is part # WH07X10019. Thank You . Read More...
