Mike May 19, 2018 for Model Number WTW5600VQ0 With larger loads, the washer is shaking strongly during the spin cycle. I took the body off to check the suspension springs and they all look in tact. The larger vertical one is there and I didn't see any broken springs. Any ideas?
1 Answer Mike, The most common cause for the unit shaking in the spin cycle would be the pads 285219 and 285744 that have worn out. Read More...
Roger March 20, 2017 for Model Number 11022996101 In the answer to the the shaking of the washer, you mentioned "Open the lid, grasp the top of the agitator and move the tub in a circular motion and check that the tub moves freely and isn't "sticking" in any position". I did what you mentioned but I am unable to move the tub. Is something wrong?
1 Answer Roger, For your unit you would not be able to do this step and the most likely cause for the unit to be shaking about would be the pads on the skate plate being bad. The part numbers that would be needed for this will be 285219 and 285744. Read More...
Roger March 14, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore washer 11022996101 I have 2 questions: (1) I hear gargling sounds from the washer after drain cycle. Is it normal? What does it mean? (2) How should I reduce shaking of the washer during spin cycles? If parts are needed, please let me know their numbers.Thanks.
1 Answer Roger, Yes, the "gurgling" noise after the tub has drained is "normal" The drain pump is "sucking" air through the tub and directing it through the water that remains in the hoses after the drain cycle. Under some circumstances, minor vibration can be "normal" as well. Check and make sure the washer is installed on a good, solid floor, the washer is level, and the front feet are as close to the base of the cabinet and locked in place, Then check the rear self levelling rear feet are level and locked in place. Open the lid, grasp the top of the agitator and move the tub in a circular motion and check that the tub moves freely and isn't "sticking" in any position. Once all is done and the washer is back in position. Place the timer in the final spin/drain cycle and start the machine, stand in front of the washer about 6 to 10 inches away from the front. If you can feel vibration in your feet, then the floor is a bit weak and causing the remainder of the vibration. Read More...
Mike Moriarty December 11, 2016 for Model Number LSB6400LW While I was replacing the suspension spring I found a 2 inch pin with a flat side down the length of it. It also has a hole in the end of it that a cotter pin may have been through it. I can't seem to find what it is for or where it goes. The machine is working but I know it goes in there somewhere. Thanks ahead. Your videos are outstanding.
1 Answer Mike, The pin that you are referencing is a shipping pin that was in it when the unit was first purchased. This pin is not required for moving and can discard it. Read More...
Cathy August 01, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore 4680290 One of the suspension springs on the washer came off but the problem seems to be with an extender hook that the spring hooks into. Can't seem to find any mention of this part anywhere but the spring will not expand enough to do it without this.
1 Answer Hello Cathy. The model number will have to be verified on the units I.D. tag since the one listed came up invalid. This will be necessary to look up and specific parts such as the one you requested. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Monica March 10, 2016 for Model Number WTW 8600 YWO I have had this Whirlpool Cabrio for about four years. A few days ago it started making a very loud noise while on the spin cycle. Also the code UL came up. I had a repairman come out and he stated that I would have to replace the entire tub to repair the bad bearings, but after reading different articles I am beginning to think mine can be repaired by just purchasing the bearing kit and replacing just that and not the entire tub! Also under the washer he showed me what appears to have been rust.
1 Answer Monica, The bearing kit that would be for your unit is W10447783 and you would need to have the bearing removal tool W10193886. Read More...
Marty October 30, 2015 for Model Number inglis washing machine How many springs does it usually take to balance a wash tub on a washing machine
1 Answer Marty, It depends on the model and the brand of washer, some models have as many as six(6) suspension springs. An Inglis/Whirlpool top load washer usually has three(3) suspension springs WP63907 and 1(one) counter balance spring WPW10250667 in the rear of the cabinet, to offset the weight of the drive motor.

Michael September 27, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore 80 series washer I replaced the motor coupler and clutch on a washer that was not spinning. Turned out that I had a sock stuck in the pump, machine is spinning and draining again. When reassembled the drum shifts off center and rattles loudly. No visible breakage on the shootings but they may be stretched. Does this sound like the best course of action to replace them?
1 Answer Hello Michael. Lift the basket assembly and make sure it is centered. If so, it sounds like you will need to replace the suspension springs on the unit. Read More...
