Washer won't spin? Is you Kenmore or Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning or does it make a loud noise when you turn it on? This is commonly caused by the failure of a $2 plastic coupler and the fix is easy. It will take you 10min and you only need a wrench and screw driver.

I'm a stay at home mother of 3, and because of your video I was able to diagnose and replace the coupling all by myself! I normally would have called a service repair guy and been charged out the butt. Thanks to you, I saved money and built confidence! Thank you!

We just moved into a duplex so we’d have more space but had to buy our own washer and dryer. Could only afford a $135 used set and just about broke down because the washer wasn’t spinning. My husband followed this video and now it’s working like it’s brand new, seriously... I don’t think anyone would understand how much this has helped us 😫😫😫 I MEAN IT WAS A $5 FIX. WOW! THANK YOU

I have that EXACT MODEL Washing Machine! I bought the coupler, took it apart and noticed that my Coupler WAS NOT DAMAGED. I changed it anyway. Then upon re-assembly I found the REAL PROBLEM: One of my Pump Retaining Brackets was Rusted and Brittle causing the Pump to dislodge from the Motor during the Spin Cycle which made the washer make that "same sound" when it's not turning. I'm getting another Pump Retainer Bracket tomorrow and my issue will be resolved. Thanks Chris for pointing me in the right direction!!!

This is why I've watched your channel go from barely 5 digits, to nearly 5 million subs.

I've been watching your videos for over 5 years. My sister actually was the one that mentioned watching them as she saw your videos on how to super clean the windshield. I work on family and friends vehicles and she knew your content would be something I would enjoy watching and very informative. I haven't missed one since. Though I can't believe I never stumbled across this one with the washer repair. I have a front loader now, but I remember working kenmore machines with my dad back in the day and changing these couplers. Wish we thought of a jack stand used a cinder block. Lol Still watched regardless of what's being fixed. I remember when the videos were labeled for difficulty and other changes. I'm glad you keep your older content, it's nice to go back and watch from time to time.

You rock, bro. I've been fixing stuff at home for a long time now, most repairs have been relatively easy but I'll tell ya - it often takes longer to find a video that is clear, fast and minus all the blah, blah, blah than it does to do the actual repair! You provide perfectly clear, easy to follow, easy to see directions with no ten minute intro featuring your dog. Not that I have a problem with people's dogs - I'm just here to learn something! The Repair Clinic video for this same fix instructs people to remove the case! Oh, my god, why? That's a huge waste of time. Also no need to detach the wiring harness, which they also advise, though at least that only adds a few seconds. I found it best for me to lay the washer down on its back. The rest was no sweat. I paid 8 bucks for the part, obviously up in price from 8 years ago. For people never doing it before, don't expect 10 minutes to fix, though. Took me an hour, but that includes cleaning the underside, gathering tools, setting up a light, disconnecting hoses, putting it all back. I call that a win. 8 bucks, one hour - thanks, man. I'll be checking your vids first in the future!

The farther back you can lay over the machine, the easier it will be w/o having to remove the cabinet. Beyond 45º worked well. The weight of the motor will assist in re-seating the motor to the transmission. I used a dab of dishwashing liquid on the plastic tabs of the coupler to make it easier to slide the motor onto the seated coupler in the transmission. A rubber mallet is a must. Not quite the "5-minute job" Chris billed it to be, but still HUGE cudos to him for providing this video and enabling me to avaoid a call to the Maytag [in this case, Kenmore] repair man! Thanks, Chris!

I didn't want to wait for the $8 coupler on Amazon ( side note- the part sizing was off, and used the old part for side that didn't level out). Took me longer 30-40 min because of lack of tools and space. Glad I was able to diagnose and repair it because of your video!

@@SwagJaws It works fine now. I used the jackstand and but I didn't have to purchase the part. I removed both hoses from the motor/filter. I couldn't see any obstruction so I blew on the hoses. The one that goes to the outside drain hose, had some resistance and I blew until there was none. I reassembled the unit and it works great. Thanks.

Hey man, my washing machine took a crap a few days ago. I looked up videos and figured out it was the coupler, but they had me thinking I had to take the control panel off and remove the outer shell or whatever. Soon as I got the coupler, I went back to KZfaq to follow the steps, and I found your video. You saved me alot of time, and I now have clean underwear. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for your video! I was able to fix my washer with your help. My coupler looked ok until I took it off. It was stripped out inside. But thanks to you demonstrating the sound a bad coupler makes, I proceeded with confidence. You were the only one who did demonstrate the sound of a bad coupler. Thanks again.

Thanks Chris! I always follow your car fix videos and when I saw this I knew I was good. Really thought the motor or drive went out on it and dread having to buy a new one since I hear the horror stories about those. Love my old 2003 Kenmore! I owe you so much you don't even know. The fact that a 78 yr old lady used your video to fix hers literally brought tears to my eyes. God bless you bud!

Hey there Chris. Just completed the identical repair to my washing machine. Identical machine btw. Mine was a $20 fix though. Ended up going to an appliance sales/service store to buy the part. Maybe could have found it cheaper somewhere else but had to get it done pronto. Thanx for the very good graphics and explanatory steps. From tip up of machine to lowering back down to test, 27 minutes. That doesn't include my driving to pick up the part, LOL. That took 11 minutes.

I have an older whirlpool top load washer from the early 90's that recently stopped working. It filled and drained the drum like normal but neither the agitator nor the drum would spin. The clothes basically just sat in still water for 15 minutes. Thankfully my washer design is almost exactly like the Kenmore in this video, so every step that Chris does matches with my washer too. I checked under the washer and found lots of shredded plastic and broken prongs from the old coupler. I knew immediately that I had the same issue from the video. Every step was the same as Chris described, except the coupler I used was really hard to get on the motor and transmission shafts. that caused a 15 minute job to turn into 2 hours. I had to use a hammer to get them on, and it still took well over an hour to get them both on. After that everything else just fell into place. I'm so thankful for this video, this video and an $8 coupler saved me from having to spend several hundreds of dollars to replace my washer. It works just like before! I'm glad there's a channel likes Chris' that encourages regular people to perform their own repairs.

Even though I’m dazed and short of breath from the pneumonia, I was able to prop the machine up, pull the motor off, and successfully change out the part. I still feel like crap, but at least I don’t have to smell bad, too. Your video is the best. Thank you very much!

I was able to fix my washing machine thanks to your video (03/04/2023). I have never even heard of this part (and my uncle used to be a repair man for all appliances. RIP). My washing machine was 30 years old, but for mine, the plastic arms had broken like the video shows, but also my black rubber piece was totally worn out and actually it had big worn out gaps where these arms go into; so it was a double failure of that part. Thanks for doing so well on explaining this process. THANK YOU!
