Sheila C Rutland , MA January 20, 2024 Loud banging and walking across floor on spin. I started with the suspension pad kit and the tub suspension pads. I do have to say if you have an older model washer (mine is approx 17 years old) be prepared to let the inner tub sit in penetrating oil for a few days before attempting to take the tub out. I was able to get to this point on my own and then it wouldn't budge. My husband ended up buying some direct drive tool (it was pretty cool) and was able to break the tub free after two days. Yay! From there he took the the inner tub and put plastic tub and some other parts and power washed them and cleaned them all with a isopropyl alcohol and water mix. They looked brand new! My daughter and I (she's 9 and wanted to help) replaced the pads. I then replaced all two of the three spring mounting brackets. I did not know that the bracket in the back of the machine that holds the suspension spring that goes vertical was longer that the other brackets. NBD as it was in good condition. I replaced all 4 springs, cleaned up the bottom area with a dry cloth and a can of compressed air. I then reassembled the washer. The spanner wrench is a lifesaver! My girls were impressed that I was able to do most of the work alone. It's a valuable lesson to teach your kids that you can do something by yourself! Thank you for the instructional videos as they are really.helpful. my washer is running like.its brand new, and I don't have to close the door the laundry room anymore when it's running, or go sit on top of the washer during the spring cycle.

Linda J Beaverton , MI October 26, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Direct-Drive Washer LSR7233EZ0 The tub in my washer was unbalanced all of the time Replaced 4 of the suspension springs with new brackets. I looked up my washer, looked at the diagrams, watched your video which made things a lot easier! Took the washer apart, found the problem, ordered the parts from you and the washer was put back together and working within 3 days! Love your website! This is also the second time we have used your website and were extremely happy both times! Saved us a lot of money!

Kenneth B Hillsborough , NJ December 09, 2014 Washer was making load noise when in spin cycle Ordered parts I felt I needed based on suggestions from other appliance parts pro customers. Followed video provided. disassembling machine was very easy. Noticed long suspension spring was not connected to machine frame. The hole in the frame where the spring connects was worn through. I drilled another hole in the frame and install the new spring. Machine works like new. I did had a little problem re-installing the washer outer housing until I noticed the tabs on the frame which fit into the outer housing.

I was going to replece the suspension pads while I had the machine open, however I received the wrong pads so I put the old pads back in. Was simple after reviewing the videos.
