Customer Questions and Answers for Drum Mounting Hub by Whirlpool

Mike, We wouldn't really expect the hub assembly W10324651 to be the issue, at this point. So far, most of the grinding squeaking noises on this type washer are due to a loose drive pulley W10721967 and nut W10759923. This causes the "splutch" cams and gears to mesh improperly and slip and make noise.

Hello Charlie. You remove the screws around the unit. Then lift the basket assembly from the unit.

Mike, You don't need any special tools. Here's some help "1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Raise the cabinet top3. To remove the basket: a) Loosen the clamp and pull the recirculation hose off the tub ring. b) Pry out and unsnap the tub ring tabs from the tub and remove the tub ring. c) Insert the blade of a small screwdriver into the slot in the impeller cap, then pry the cap up, and remove it. d) Remove the 7/16? hex-head bolt from the impeller, then lift and remove the impeller from the basket. NOTE: Lifting the basket will assist in removing the impeller.4. To remove the basket hub, remove the six screws, and lift the hub assembly from the basket." Good Luck
