1 Answer Hello John. The ends of the shocks will be broken or the shocks will be cracked or broke. Read More...
Greg February 14, 2015 for Model Number WFW9450WW00 I forgot to mention on my previous question with the loud noise on spin cycle until rpm is reached that the tub is on a soild tile cement floor. I also checked the inner tub for play, when I hold the outer tub stationary the inner tub spins freely in either direction with no side to side or up and down movement, it does sound like some change is rattling around at lower rpm till it stops pretty sure it is the baffles since you canmove them a bit. When I spin it by hand really fast it is nice and smooth with no odd noises.
1 Answer Greg, You will want to check the shock absorbers to make sure that they are good. If the bearings are bad the unit will not make noise during spinning the tub by hand. It is still possible that the bearings could be bad. Read More...
Brian January 26, 2015 for Model Number WFW9250WW00 I need to replace the shocks on my washer there is only 3 on it. However there is the holes to put 4 on it. Can a fourth one be added without it creating a problem?
1 Answer Hello Brian! Your model only uses three shock absorbers. We would recommend only using three as per the manufacturer. Thanks. Read More...
Chris September 10, 2014 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 I have broken 3 of the shock absorbor clamps that attach the shock absorber to the internal tub but I can't find just the clamps on your site... the shock absorbers are still good I just need the clamps that attach the absorber to the tub. Is there a part # for the clamps??
Nicole July 24, 2014 for Model Number wfw9200qa10 What is the difference between this shock absorber and this one: AP3951199? Would I need all four of the same kind to replace all four shocks on my machine?
1 Answer Hello Nicole! Unfortunately, we do not have the specs available to verify the difference in the two shocks. According to your model you'll need to order W10822553 for your unit to function properly. Yes, all four are the same within your model. Thanks. Read More...
Paul Smith May 07, 2014 for Model Number MFW9800TQ0 Hi,We have an front load MFW9800TQ0 that shakes in spin mode to the point it can`t balance and will stop. Seems to be happening more frequent.Wash mode seems fine. Thanks!
1 Answer Paul, Aside from checking the levelness of the unit, you will also want to check the shocks and check the tub to make sure that there is no up or down motion of the inner tub to the outer tub. If there is then it could be a bearing or spinner support issue. Read More...
Jon May 07, 2014 for Model Number WFW9050XW00 Washer will not spin at High speed. All other levels work. I thought it was the shocks as it was bouncing around to much but after replacing the shocks it still will not spin at high speed level. The shocks did stabilize the drum better but it still will not spin at high level. Any thoughts and checks I can make?
1 Answer Hello Jon, You need to check the drain pump area for any debris that could prevent the unit from fully draining. If it is clear and the drain pump impeller does not appear to be damaged, you will need to run a diagnostic test to see what, (if any) fault codes are stored in the control. This is explained on the tech sheet behind the kick panel. Read More...
Jon April 30, 2014 for Model Number WFW9050XW00 My washer has quit spinning at the high speed level. It spins at all the other speeds just not the high speed. It appears to keep trying to balance the load which is why it wont spin at high speed. It will spin at High speed with no clothes in the washer(Empty). I noticed it appears the shocks are allowing the baskets to flop around to much therefore never giving a balanced load feel. Does this sound right. I was going to replace the shocks mine only has 3 not sure what the part number is.
1 Answer Jon, Based on the information it does sound like the shock absorber would be the issue. The part number for the shock absorber is W10822553 and wound need a quantity of 3. Read More...
1 Answer Bill, The best way to tell if the shocks are bad is by pushing down on the tub and seeing if it springs back up. If not then the shocks are most likely bad. Read More...
Kenny February 01, 2014 for Model Number wfw9150ww00 Hello, I have the whirlpool model WFW9150WW00, and its bouncing around vibrating very badly. I noticed the rear shock seems to be to soft. Upon reading a few questions on here I noticed one person said they had 3 shock on their machine. I noticed mine only has 3 as well, two shocks on left side and one central mount shock on the right side. There seems to be provisions to move that shock on the right side to the front and rear of the frame and drum. Would adding a fourth shock and relocating the original central shock be beneficial, and what possibility does it have to void warranty contract? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kenny. You can not add an extra shock. Make sure all parts on the unit are good and tight. Including the motor and all the weights. Also, check for bad tub bearings causing the issues. Read More...
