Pacho December 08, 2011 This is regarding an earlier question on water leaking from the bottom of the washer. I took the cover off as indicated earlier and inspect all the hoses, replace the pump. After this I pour a cup of water in the tub and all drained down from the bottom. There is a hole in the sheet metal to the right from the pump about half way back were the water is comming out.
1 Answer Hello Pacho. the hose that goes from the pump to the tub, attaches to the hole located where the sheet metal is at. You will need to reconnect the hose on the washer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Pacho December 08, 2011 I have a whirpool washer that leaks water. Is not the pump and not the pump hoses. I can't see where the water is leaking but I pour a cup of water in the tub and comes straight out from the bottom??
1 Answer Hello Pacho. You will need to remove the outer cabinet and see where it is leaking from. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dave November 28, 2011 for Model Number 110.13212200 Do these pump housings leak from the impeller rubbing through. I found a black circular mark that looks like it rubbed until a leak started. I put epoxy on it and it worked at least until I order a replacement from you. Wondered if this can be prevented or just a fluke?
1 Answer Hello Dave. Yes, they can leak in that location. Usually, it is caused by spinning the machine without water in the pump WP3363394. Hope this helps. Read More...
Pete November 05, 2011 for Model Number 3363394 ASS.Y or 3352293 KIO I took the water pump out of my Whirlpool washer because it was leaking. I filled it up with water, added a little pressure, found the leak. What I am wondering is, should the impeller on the water pump spin pretty freely with the part in my hand, or should it be difficult to spin?
1 Answer Pete, It should be relatively easy to turn, little to no drag, when you turn the impeller. Sounds like the seal in the impeller had failed and leaked, also caused the shaft to start to seize. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Arjune Sewdiyal November 05, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool while washing clothes and after the spinning cycle, the clothes are still damped. Is there a solution for this, because, I recently changed the coupler on it.
1 Answer Arjune, Did you check the drain pump, hoses, and tub opening for a possible clog, or kink ? If so, then your next check will need to be to the clutch and brake assemblies, 285785 285438 . Here is a post from our Repair Forum, It should be helpful, [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/washer-repair/3265-replacing-direct-drive-washer-brake-shoes.html] Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Dbr October 28, 2011 for Model Number atw4475vq0 I just replaced the timer on my machine, the washer runs the cycle but water drains while it is filling in both the wash and rinse cycles Can you help me out here?
1 Answer Hello DBR. You will need to check and see if the drain hose is to far inside the drain pipe causing the machine to siphon out. Also, is the drain hose is air tight with the drain pipe and can not get air, it will siphon as well. Hope this helps. Read More...
Claudette October 22, 2011 for Model Number RAX5133AWO We purchased the new water pump (AP2907492) and installed it, but the water is still not draining. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hi Claudette. Remove power. Tilt and support the unit up and back. Is there any black dust under the center area of the floor? If so the motor coupler will need replaced, part # 285753A. This couples the motor and the transmission together.Take the sump ( intake ) hose off the pump and look inside the hose to see if anything like clothes is inside it. Remove the hose off the tub and look in the tub end to see if your block is there. Thank You. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Ernesto. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch is bad and will need to be replaced. Check and see if the lid switch is broke. If so, you will need to replace the lid switch. Thanks. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Daniel September 29, 2011 for Model Number LSR6132HQ1 Whirlpool After wash and rinse, no water is in basket(where clothes get dropped into) but water is not fully drained out of the outer basket. (I believe this sitting water underneath is the cause of some smell coming from washer) No leaking on underneath on tile floor. How do I know if pump or timer is to blame? I am going to open up in 2 days (Sat) and see if drain leading to pump is clogged other than that, how do I test for timer vs. pump?
1 Answer Hello Daniel. If the unit goes into spin cycle and does not drain, and the hoses are not clogged, you will need to replace the pump assembly WP3363394. Check and see if the spindle on the pump is stripped out. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brittany September 24, 2011 for Model Number 11029812890 I was washing a comforter in my Kenmore 80 series washer and it stopped during the rinse cycle. It will spin but the water does not drain. The water has either become discolored and dark in a matter of a day or I'm not sure if there is another problem. What part should I check first? Please help.
1 Answer Hi Brittany. Remove power. Use a dozen towels and a shop vac for the water pick up. 2- options. A- completely remove the cabinet for total accessibility to parts - or - B , Pull the unit out 3/4 of the floor area and lean it back. The first option is to loosen the control panel screws and flip the control up and backwards. Then unhook the lid switch. Then remove the top 2- brass colored clips that hold the cabinet to the frame and back. Open the lid and reach inside the top lip at 6:00. Lift up and "unhook" the front lower / cabinet to the frame. Walk backwards and "undress" the unit. You will be able to hand access the pump. Or on the lifted unit, you can also unhook each intake and output hose(make sure you know where each one goes). Use a big flat blade screwdriver to unclasp the top and bottom clips from the motor to the pump. Pull the pump off the shaft. Clean all carpet backing from the hoses and the pump part # WP3363394. Reassemble in reverse. Make sure that you are fully aware of the top frame locator's tabs as the inside cabinet lower areas rely on proper placement so the top / back clips align correctly. Thank you. Read More...
