Clifford Few April 20, 2014 for Model Number GSW9800PW1 Washer fills and agitates then during drain it makes a clicking sound and room light flickers like a heavy draw on electrical system, clothes are not as dry after spin as they once were. It is doing this on both reg. and permanent press cycles.
1 Answer Clifford, You will want to check the drain pump for obstructions and or damage in which it is causing the motor to bog down to try to turn it. If the pump is faulty it could cause this effect or if there is something caught in it that would cause the pump to not want to turn. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Wanda. You need to check and see if the lid switch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Darrell March 26, 2014 for Model Number LSQ9659LWO I have a Whirlpool washer that doesn't drain but spins. It's not the lid switch, checked the pump and it seems good, no obstructions in the hoses or the pump. The washer fills and agititates, but when it's supposed to drain just jumps straight to spin spinning without stopping to drain. Any idea of what it could be? Thanks
1 Answer Darrell, the issue with the washer is a mechanical issue, you will need to check the basket drive assembly, clutch and gearcase. We've made several attempts to provide you with the technical information you need for accessing and checking the components, but the e mails are returned as demon mailers. Please repost with an e mail address that will work and we'll try again. Thanks Read More...
1 Answer Hello Joe. Check and see if the screens are clogged on the water valve and if there is any screens in the washer hoses. Replace the water valve if needed. We will need your model number to help you more with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Mark March 23, 2014 for Model Number LSR5132PQ0 I think I have a bad pump and have removed it for inspection. With the pump removed, I stuck a tool in the outlet to turn the impeller and it turned very hard. How freely should it turn and what else should I look for? Thanks.
1 Answer Mark, You've looked far enough, the impeller shaft should turn rather freely, especially if you're using a tool. Apparently the pump shaft bearings are starting to seize and cause a "drag" on the motor. Replace the pump WP3363394 and you should be fine. Read More...
Kevin March 21, 2014 for Model Number Lsq8243hq0 Originally, my washing was shaking a lot during the spin cycle. So I replaced the springs, but that didn't fix the problem. Then I replaced the suspension pads, the other pads that are plastic that snap into the metal frame, but that didn't fix the problem. So then I replaced the drive block and the tub gasket, and now it makes a loud banging noise only during the spin cycle. Then the coupler broke, so I replaced that, but it still makes a loud banging/clunking noise in the spin cycle. This is different than the original problem. It makes a clunk/bang noise about every second in the spin cycle. Please help. What is making the clunk/bang noise? I don't know what I did or what is the problem.
2 Answers Hello Kevin, You most likely did not properly align the drive block tabs WP389140 with the basketdrive W10820043 ears. Read More...

2 Answers Kevin, It sounds like the drive block may not be in place properly and causing the tub to slip and bang. Double check the drive block and check the bottom of the inner tub to make sure that it is not damaged where it would meet with the drive block. Read More...
Kevin March 16, 2014 for Model Number LSN2000PW1 Washer would not spin. I replaced the direct drive motor coupling,( it WAS defective) easy fix. After putting machine back together I ran 2 successful cycles. Now it will only fill and I can't get it to do anything else. What should I try next?
1 Answer Kevin, With the unit not agitating, draining or spinning you will want to check the lid switch to make sure that it is good. The lid switch WP8318084 is the most common thing to fail in relation to the unit not draining, spinning or agitating. Read More...

Andy B February 25, 2014 I had a whirlpool pump replaced yesterday on my washing machine. When I looked into the two large holes on the old pump I saw a black looking fabric. Is that part of the pump?
