Dan May 21, 2011 I just received shipping bolts for my Whirlpool Duet Washing Machine and I need installation instructions.
1 Answer Hello Dan. To use these bolts, remove the four covers from the oblong shipping bolt holes. Using a flashlight you should be able to see the point where the bolt will attach to stabilize the drum. Then, simply use a wrench to tighten the bolts down. If you need more assistance I will provide a link to more detailed instructions in this message. I hope this helps! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/washer-repair/8033-whirlpool-duet-shipping-bolt-installation-instructions.html Read More...
Neil May 14, 2011 for Model Number 11045081400 I ordered bolts W10289554 from Sears and attempted to install them into my front loading washing machine. Unfortunately they did not work (bolt is too big to fit into the "nut" and I did not want to force it). On your site I found part number AP4508052 but they seem to be the same thing. Can some please tell the correct part required? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Neil! It seems that the manufacture has supplied two different kit part number on their website for your particular model. One being what you have already order, W10289554 our part number W10289554A and the other being W10289554A. Both contain 4 shipping bolts in each package for the listed model. If you have already purchased AP4508052, perhaps your model calls for the AP5180566. Unfortunately, we do not have any resources available to check the accuracty of Kenmore products. You may try the parts and return within 365 days if they do not work with your unit. Thanks. Read More...
