Darren M South Bend , IN August 15, 2019 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW4815EW0 Agitator was spinning freely and not working. Replaced agitator and washplate bolt and washer. Normally this would have been a 5 min job, however the bolt wouldn't come loose. The teeth on the agitator were worn down and the shaft the bolt screws into would turn with the bolt when trying to loosen it. I had to cut out the agitator using a dremel and hold the shaft in place with a vise grip in order to unscrew the bolt. Once the bolt was out I used WD-40 to help get the agitator off the gears. Job took much longer than normal, but I was still able to save money doing it myself. I didn't end up needing the drive block or tub wrench Read More... 21 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
James B Baldwinsville , NY August 17, 2015 Washplate wouldn't agitate clothes The plastic ridges on the inside of the washplate were stripped. New washplate solved the problem. This washer is barely 3 years old, so I guess I can expect to be doing this again, but better than buying a new washer.

Laurence O O'fallon , IL November 03, 2018 Appliance: Maytag Commercial Washer MAT14PDAWW0 Sometimes it would spin other times it would not, agitated fine Replaced transmission (that was the problem) and clutch (if you're going to tear it down put in a new clutch - they're cheap). APPRO's video was a big help. Everything went as they showed except transmission does not just slide out. You have to work it in and out several times. Once it breaks free it will slip out. This was my first transmission. It was not nearly as hard as I had thought it would be.

Phillip J Clayton , NC July 30, 2018 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW5640XW0 Model WTW5640XW0 Washer was making loud noises when in spin cycle and leaking water. Researched problem and found that transmission bearing was bad and the tub seal was leaking which caused the bearing failure. I ordered the transmission, tub seal, drive block assembly, splutch assembly, drive belt and wash plate bolt. I replaced the other items because of the age of the washer and I already had them off to replace the transmission. Everything went smooth on the replacement after I watched the videos relevant for the repair. The biggest issue was the drive block because it had corroded. I used a dremel tool to cut it into to remove. I did purchase a spanner wrench to remove the basket drive spanner nut, $13.00. Did the recalibration per instructions and washer is now quiet and no leaks. Great videos.
