Randy November 13, 2018 for Model Number LSQ9110KQ0 On rinse / spin cycle makes an odd clicking noise sometimes but not always, yesterday caught a burning smell & thought ah ha pump going bad & locking up & burning belt. Looked up this sight & found that the pump is direct drive - pulled it out just to make sure & pump is fine turns free no leak drive shaft connection is fine. Some times after the clicking noise 15 to 20 sec the machine goes ahead & completes the cycle. Also found the belt does have a kinked /burnt spot. Gearbox ? How hard to change out?
1 Answer Randy, sometimes on a heavy load, the washer will make a clicking noise when spinning, this can cause the motor to overheat and put off an odor. This is a direct drive system that uses a motor coupling and it does not have a drive belt. Read More...
Ken Mccoy October 28, 2018 for Model Number 11026882502 when wash and spin completed clothes are too wet for dryer
1 Answer Ken, it sounds like your clutch is slipping and not spinning the basket fast enough, you will probably need to replace the gearcase and the clutch. The seal around the gearcase shaft will start leaking and letting oil seap up and around the clutch. Read More...
Richard D November 04, 2017 for Model Number LSQ9549PW1 My washer drum bangs against the wall of the frame when it is in extraction mode. I took the washing machine apart to see if there were any springs missing or broken from the frame of the drum, but I found that all the springs were attached and looked in good working condition. I looked at the parts diagram to go observe and see if there were any springs missing from the machine in comparison to the diagram and noticed that none were missing. I tested machine again after I had replaced all the springs after purchasing them just in case my eyes deceived me from my first observation, but after testing it the problem persisted. I then notice in the drum of the machine the water was not fully drained out of the machine so I thought that the drain pump was the cause to the banging of the drum against the washer frame walls. I then checked the drain pump and noticed that it looked pretty good and decent and it came off its housing without any struggle. I also checked the pump to see if the impeller was functional and all looked functional and clear. I have no idea what is causing the washing machine to bang against the inner walls of the washing machine frame when the washer is in extraction mode? Please, can you help with your expert opinion and advise for a solution to my problem?
1 Answer Richard, There are pads on the skate plate that would most likely be the cause for this issue. The part number for the pads would be lower 285744 and upper 285219. Read More...
Erik October 26, 2017 for Model Number RAS7233KQ0 Washer will drain, and spin however won't fill with water. Is it the pump?
2 Answers Hello Erik. Test for power to the water valve. Make sure the screens are not clogged and the water is on. If that is good, and there is power there, you will need to replace the valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Curt April 17, 2017 for Model Number 110.16101691 The unit fills, Washes and spins but will not drain the water out? Seems the pump or motor?

Warrent March 15, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool LSN2000PW2 Problem: Washer fills successfully however will not start agitating. I suspect fill valve because slamming the lid will start it agitating. Solution: Reseal hose should resolve? Hose does not have host clamps. Maybe should also apply hose clamps? Aside: How to diagnose lid switch?
1 Answer Hello Warrant. By slamming the lid to get it to work, you have diagnosed the lid switch WP8318084 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Kevin January 13, 2017 for Model Number kennmore elite The pump doesn't leak...it just seems as though it's not completely draining the drum as the cloths still appear too wet...Spin cycle appears to run long enough...Sound like a pump problem or is it something else...?
1 Answer Kevin, It could certainly be the drain pump and would want to check the filter on it to make sure that there is no debris that would keep it from draining completely. If this checks ok then it could be that the unit is not spinning properly which if it is banging around any then could be a issue with the spider having been broken. Read More...
Christopher November 09, 2016 for Model Number 11092581420 During spin cycle there was a high pitch squeal and a burning smell.
1 Answer Christopher, You will want to check the drain pump on the unit to see if there is something that may be caught in the pump causing the unit to make the squealing noise and causing the motor to overheat. Also check the spin bearing on the unit as it may be bad. Read More...
Emad June 15, 2016 My washer drains water from the hose in the wash cycle during filling then stops when it starts agitating. This also happens during the rinse cycle, which takes long time before spinning.
1 Answer Emad, You need to check the height of the drain pipe, it needs to be 38 inches high from the floor, in order for the tub to fill properly and hold the water. If the drain pipe is too low the water will siphon out as the tub is filling. Read More...
