Florie February 26, 2013 for Model Number GHW9150PW4 I would like to know what the tub size is--what cubic ft. it is, please. Thanx
Bill February 03, 2013 for Model Number 110.45972401 I have a Kenmore HE3t Washer. Over the past week, the washer started making a loud thumping noise. When I checked the unit, I first thought it was the main bearing. But when I noticed plastic slivers from wear underneath the front rubber seal, I checked further and found that the main basket can wobble back and forth ( at rest leans to the right) and the front plastic basket is taking the wear. With the excessive movement, could a support spring have broken? Will I need to replace the front basket as well?
1 Answer Hello Bill. Based on the information you provided, you need to order and replace the inner basket WPW10250573, front tub W10772607, and the rear outer tub W10772617 in the unit. Read More...
Todd January 08, 2013 for Model Number 110 45862 400 knocking noise when in spin cycle , 2 of the three ancor points you can pull stainless steel tub about 3/4 inch ,would it be better to replace tub or washer. about 6 years old .it is a sears kenmore elite he3
1 Answer Todd, It does sound like the support arms on the spin basket have broken loose and the tub is "wobbling" when the tub is spinning at a high speed. You didn't mention any rumbling or growling noise, so we can presume the tub bearings are OK, and can be cleaned and lubed, if or when you replace the tub. This is a "bulky" time consuming repair(makes for a Saturday morning project) but it's a doable repair, with basic skills and tools. Read More...
Ron July 31, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool wfw9200sq02 I am hearing knocking noise when the washer goes into high spin. Going into the washer through the door and wiggling the inner tub assembly, I can feel some play up and down as well as hear some klunking. Is this a sign that the inner tub spider on the back is failing or could it be the bearing behind?
1 Answer Hello Ron, This is most likely the spin bearing W10772617. In cases where the spin bearing fails, it is a good idea to inspect the "spider" shaft where it passes through the bearing. When the bearing stops spinning, the support shaft WPW10250573 will take on wear which will accelerate the failure of the new bearing. Read More...
Ron B July 31, 2012 for Model Number wfw9200sq02 My Whirlpool Duet front loader is only 4 years old and it has started to make "Knocking" noises when it goes into high speed spin cycle. Durig normal wash, it's quiet. I have read that the duet washers have experienced problems related to kncking noise caused by the "spider" mounted to the back of the tub basket corroding and cracking. Some people say this can be verified without disassembly by shaking the inner tub to see if a noise occurs? Does this sound right before I spend +$300 for a new tub basket?
1 Answer Ron, Thats one way of checking, another way, is to turn the tub so a baffle/lifter is on the bottom, grasp the front edge lip of the tub, with your finger tips, place your thumbs on the bottom of the opening,and lift up with your fingers, there should be very little if any movement from the tub, if you feel or see it move up, you've got a badly worn tub bearing or a broken support arm on the spin basket. Thanks Read More...
Frank K. July 18, 2012 for Model Number GHW9150PW0 During the spin cycle there was a loud bang and now the drum makes a squeaking noise during the wash cycle and it is noisey during the high speed spin cycle. Also the drum is lower at the bottom now. Outer tub bearing seems fine and shocks/suspension springs are connected and seem good.
1 Answer Hello Frank, There are several things you should check. First make sure the unit is unplugged and remove the main top and make sure the suspension springs are in place. There are two slots where the springs can be installed and they must be in the rear position. If these are correctly placed, Check the weights for cracks and they should be firmly bolted to the tub assembly. Vibration often causes the weights to work loose and this can lead to extensive repairs. It's hard to tell if the shocks are bad without filling the unit with water and shaking the tub around. If there is a squeaky shock, this will normally make it show up. If the tub hangs lower now, the suspension springs and/or the shocks have to be to blame. I suspect one of the shocks will be the issue unless one of the springs have jumped to the front slot. Read More...
Bearnie February 08, 2012 for Model Number 110.45862400 Is there internal gears in this agitator and can the shaft and any other parts be replaced? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Bearnie! The shaft on the basket WPW10250573 is only available with the basket only, it is not available separate. The bearings are included with the outer tub W10772617. Thanks! Read More...
Jay K. December 17, 2011 for Model Number WFW9500TC01 On the spin cycle there is a noise in the drum itself. The back pulley assembly is not shaking or looks out of line. It just happens when the washer gets up to full speed. Thought there might be some type of guide or bearing
1 Answer Hi Jay. You will need to replace the inner basket part # WPW10250573. The tub gasket part # W10772613. The outer tub assy/ with bearing part # W10772614. Thank You. Read More...
Gary December 15, 2011 for Model Number 110-44832 202 I have a kenmore elite front loader and want to know if I can purchase the rear tub seal only? Tub is fine, basket drive shaft is broke and I don't want to reassemble with same seal.
1 Answer Hello Gary. No, to replace the seals and bearings, you will need to replace the tub assembly W10772617. If the shaft broke, it would be best to replace the bearings in the tub assembly. The manufacture does not sell the bearings separately. Hope this helps. Read More...
Robert M. December 10, 2011 for Model Number GHW915OPWO Is the spider that attaches with the shaft to the back of the drum made of the same inferior metal?
1 Answer Hi Robert. This metal compound was up graded. But what deteriotates it is the rear tub seal / bearing leaking. It will start small over a long lenght of time and then continually drip and spray when the unit operates. The drum is part # WPW10250573. Thank You. Read More...
