Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt (Part Number: OEM18019104)

1 Answer

Jan, The most likely cause for the unit not spinning all the water out would be that the tub is getting off balance from weak springs or the thrust bearing is going bad and needs to be replaced.

Hello Robert, You can use a pair of hose pinch off pliers like TJ145 to prevent the water from running out during the pump replacement. There will be a little water get away but this is better than 22 gallons running out.

Mary, The residue would be partially from the belt. You will also want to check your pump to make sure that the bearings are good and that there is no clog in the pump.

Hello Mawcmw, You can tilt unit back and take belt off. Once belt is off you can try to turn the pump pulley. If it will not turn then the pump would need to be replaced. If the belt is cracked or damaged then you would want to replace belt.

Hello Joan, You will want to check the thrust bearing to make sure that it is lifting the brake for the unit to go into spin. By resetting it may have allowed unit to do this but the thrust bearing may be sticking.

Theresa, If the repairman installed the thrust bearing and belt, and adjusted them properly, then the issue would be in the tub bearing assembly W10219156 or the gearcase bearing 35-6615. The bearing failure is usually preceded by a water leak from the washer, which washes the lubricant from the bearing and causes them to make noise.

Hello Etw. You will need to look for plastic shavings in the bottom of the machine. If there are some, the snubber ring WP21002026 will need to be replaced to balance the machine. Hope this helps.

Rudy, Does the washer make a grinding or chirping noise ? You may have a seizing bearing in the drain pump or a loose impeller. Also check and make sure the motor assembly "slides" free and easy on the base plate assembly, with the drive belt removed. The water on the floor, could be due to dripping faucets or hoses and a slow drain pipe. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Bruce. Turn the belt by hand and see if the belt slips on the pulleys. If not, and the belt turns the pulleys, you may have a bad thrust bearing kit 12002213. Hope this helps.
