Robert M. June 10, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool GHW 9150 PWO My duet washer goes out of control during the spin cycle. I replaced all four shocks but didn't seem to help. I Looked over the entire unit and could not find anything broken. I see two springs at the top.. HELP what should I do?
1 Answer Hello Robert. Check and see if the inner tub assembly feels loose on the unit. If so, it sounds like the bearings are bad and you will need to replace the outer tub assembly W10772617 on the unit. This will cause the issue you are having with the unit. Read More...
Steve April 17, 2012 for Model Number WTW8600YW0 I've had this new Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum WTW8600YWO for 6 weeks now. Sometimes it drips water on the floor from in the washer left side. Water splashes on the side of the drum and the inside walls of the washer. The warranty service technician lifted the top open and says some springs are missing that secure the drum to the frame base. He checked and he is coming to install them in 2 days. How can there be springs missing when this is new. The factory quality assurance must be realy bad. Was this made on a friday afternoon holiday weekend at the factory?
1 Answer Hello Steve, The manufacturers only check what the law requires. Last I heard this was actually 1 of every 10 coming off of the assembly line. In the 1980's, when I worked in manufacturing, the requirement was 3 out of 5. Also, you must remember that all appliances are man made and perfection, even if they strived for it, is not possible. We are providing the best service advise we possibly can and as hard as we try, we cannot answer questions for the manufacturer. If you have questions like when was the appliance made,on a holiday, these should be directed towards the good folks that are doing that job. If there are any questions you have that we are empowered to answer, please feel free to post them and we will happily do our very best to get you as accurate an answer in as short a time as we possibly can. Have a fantastic day. Read More...

Michael T. January 14, 2012 for Model Number LSQ9010LW0 EVERYTIME THE WHIRLPOOL WASHER GOES INTO SPIN CYCLE THE TUB SOUND LIKE IT KNOCKING AGAINST THE WALLS OF THE MACHINE.REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY CLOTHES IN THE WASHER. I HAVE REPLACED THE THREE BIG SPRINGS.THE ONLY ONE LEFT NOW IS THE ONE YOU GUYS CALL THE SUSPENSION SPRING(THE LONG ONE AT THE BOTTOM). I NOTICED THE SKATE PLATE DON'T HAVE ANY SCREWS IN IT.SHOULD IT HAVE SCREWS? MODEL LSQ9010LW0
1 Answer Michael, Other than the locating tabs, that secure the "skate" plate to the tub support, there are no screws. Have you checked the base frame and the skate plate pads for damage, stuck ,or being bent ? And are the rear self levelling legs, "locking" in position ? You may also want to check the spin tub balance ring for cracks or holes and the fluid for a "sloshing" noise, when you shake it. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

Mike October 04, 2011 for Model Number LTE5243DQ6 I notice that my washer leaned to the back side of the machine. I guest it's the springs. How do I change them? How do I access them on my thin twin?
1 Answer Hi Mike. Remove the front panel. Lightlt grease the contact points of the spring upon assembly (no squeeks). You can use a pair of vise grips to pull up from the top and unhook from the tub support. Part # is WPW10250667. Thank you. Read More...

Timothy May 01, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool LSQ9549LW0 I had to take apart my washer after I lost the spin cycle. This website has been immensely helpful! Since I put it back together the tub leans toward the motor and bangs during spin cycle. I had spring bracket AP2905281 in back which is wrong, the diagram shows it should be on the left side. The diagram shows spring bracket AP2915495 in back and one on the right side. It also shows the counter balance spring AP4459650 attaches to this bracket in back, it does not. I drilled a hole in the bracket to attach the counter balance spring, because I don't remember how it attach before, and the tub still leans toward the motor. I'm stumped. Should I replace all 4 springs?
