Rubber door boot seal prevents water leaks between the washer drum and door. Replace if torn, cracked, or leaking during cycles. Confirm fit by model.
I noticed the rubber seal (bellow) was damaged near the bottom of the bellow. It looks like removing clothes from the machine had worn away and eventually ripped away some of the seal. This caused water to leak out the bottom of the door. I looked up the model number of my washer on the web and searched for the part number of the bellow. Once I found it I searched eBay, Amazon and a few other places for the part number and opted for Appliance Parts Pros. The part was reasonably priced and... Read more
Washer making loud metal grinding noise during spin? The transmission converts motor power into drum agitation. Moderate difficulty repair with video guide.
I knew from the loud sound during the spin cycle that the bearings were going out, I ordered a gearcase part number W11455453 (AP6993918) which has the bearings, tub seal, and shaft altogether which makes the repair much easier to complete. I will say you should also order the spanner wrench it makes taking the spanner nut off and putting back on much easier also, part number TB123B (AP6832671). With this model washer, you don't have to take the tub out you just need to take the washer plate... Read more
Washer won't fill or drips water after cycle? The water inlet valve controls hot and cold water flow. DIY-friendly repair with video guide included.
I watched the how-to video on your website to learn how to get at the valve to replace it. Before watching the video, I did not know how to take the washer cabinet apart to replace the valve. I searched on your website for my washer model, but the exact model number was not listed. I chose a very similar model number and looked up the info for that machine's replacement valve . It looked like it would work in my washing machine so I decided to take a chance and order the valve. I placed my... Read more
Repairs loud roaring or grinding noises during spin cycle. Replace when bearings rust or seals leak water. Confirm fit with your washer model number.
After about 6 months of use with our Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine it started to sound extremely loud in the spin cycle, we should have called Whirlpool at this point to have it looked at under warranty. Fast forward 5 years later our loud washing machine ended up leaking out the bottom, we had a local service company come out to take a look at doing the repair and they quoted $800 to replace the outer tub assembly. I was not going to pay $800 and figured that most likely we would purchase a... Read more
Suspension spring that supports and stabilizes the washer tub during operation. Replace if broken, worn, or missing to prevent tub lean or imbalance.
I had previously replaced the pump about 1 year ago. That was not the problem. Still leaked the same way - intermittently, but always in the center of the washer onto the floor. None of the hoses were leaking - no evidence of corrosion or water mineral residue at any of the hose fittings. So, it must have been something else. I studied the parts diagram for the washer tub assembly and concluded the source of the leak almost had to be the outer tub's Centerpost Gasket. It was really the... Read more
Washer won't drain or pump keeps running? This drain pump circulates and removes water during wash cycles. Common DIY repair, typically 15-30 minutes.
The original pump was getting jammed intermittently, more and more often. I cleaned it out, but that didn't help the jamming. So I ordered a new pump. Have your new pump on hand and look at it to see how it attaches. The original pump, a different part number than the replacement, lasted about 7 years of almost everyday use, with multiple loads each day. My washer model Maytag MHW5500FW0 has the pump at the bottom back, in an awkward position. This took me about 2 hours due to the awkward... Read more
Upper agitator not spinning or turning freely? This short cam agitator repair kit includes dogs, cam, and retainer. DIY-friendly 10-minute repair.
I searched the internet for the most likely cause of the problem and then went to the AppliancePartsPros.com site to see if they had the parts. Naturally they did, but the best part was that they had a video on how to change the part. The video was very clear and straightforward. So easy to follow. I ordered the part mid-day on a Thursday. Imagine my surprise when later that day an email came in letting me know that the part was already shipped! The next day the part was on my front... Read more
Washer won't drain or spin? A failed water pump is often the cause. This pump circulates and drains water during wash cycles. DIY repair in 1-2 hours.
There was a loud noise from my washer during the drain cycle. (The washer seemed to drain just fine.) It was pretty easy to determine that the noise was coming from the drain pump. (Which for my washer is behind the front lower inspection panel on the right side front.) I inspected the outside of the pump for any physical damage and verified no issues with the pump or the mounts. Everything seemed ok. I then checked the drain pump filter(You will need something to catch water if you do... Read more

Seals the center post/agitator shaft to prevent water leaks during wash cycles. Replace if you notice pooling water under your washer. Confirm fit with your model.
Four-rod suspension kit that supports the washer tub assembly. Replace when rods are worn, stretched, or causing excessive vibration during spin cycles.
I called a repair guy who came out to specifically replace the suspension rods because I read that if you push down on the tub and it bounces around, then the rods have worn out. After running the diagnostics, the repair guy tried to tell me it was because the lid was not locking correctly! After expressing concern that this makes no sense, he continued taking things apart and noticed the agitator rollers were all broken and told me this is probably causing the tub to be unbalanced. I... Read more
Fixes loud roaring noise during spin cycle or basket wobbling. Connects basket to drive shaft for smooth spinning. Moderate DIY repair with video.
After ignoring for a couple of years that the bearings were bad on our Whirlpool Cabrio washer and just closing the door to the laundry room, it started slinging grease underneath during the spin cycle. Knowing that the cost to call out a repairman would be close to the cost of a new washer, I decided that it would be a nice Saturday project after reviewing AppliancePartsPros’ repair video. The bearing & tub seal kit and bearing installation tool arrived in two days. I’ve done a lot of... Read more
Washer won't drain or shows F21 error code? The drain pump assembly removes water after wash cycles. DIY repair in 15 minutes with video instructions.
I have a 12 year old Kenmore Elite washer. One day, suddenly, I heard a grinding noise and the washer abruptly stopped. I called a repair service and was told it could be the bearings in the drum of this front-load washer, or it could be the washer's drain pump, which automatically shuts down when the drain pump fails. The repairman said, if it is the drum, it wasn't worth fixing for the age of this washer. It would cost $85 for him to come out and diagnose the problem, then if I decide to fix... Read more
Fix no cold water, leaking when off, or pulsating fill issues. This water inlet valve controls hot and cold water flow. 15-25 minute DIY repair.
Replacing the water inlet valve fixed the problem. For many months we noticed cold water was just dribbling into the washer during the rinse cycle, and "warm" washes were hot not warm. It seemed like the cold water wasn't able to enter the machine. Then one day the cycle just stopped when it reached "rinse" and wouldn't go any further. I first tried solving it by cleaning the filter where the cold water hose enters the machine at the back. It was coated in sediment (the water comes from a... Read more

Flexible door bellow seal prevents water leaks between drum and door on front-load washers. Replace if torn, moldy, or leaking. Verify fit by model number.
Luckily we planned ahead when building the laundry room, as we built a water catch basin and drain under the washer, but waking up to see 1-2 inches of water is never a good sign - even if it is contained. It appears that a sleeve of a shirt was accidentally caught between the door mechanism and the bellow seal. After a few hundred revolutions in the washer, the shirt knotted up and was torn free of its pinch - in doing so, it tore a quarter sized hole in the rubber bellow seal. This was,... Read more
