You literally have a video concerning everything about a washing machine! They are all complete, accurate and incredibly interesting. By watching your videos I have had the confidence to fix my whirlpool washer from 1998. I was able to fix it with your help! Thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot, saved a ton of money and gained a lot of confidence. 🙏

This is an amazing video.. Not only took the time to explain every move but there was a closeup and a slowly removing parts. Well done sir! Thank You! I can't believe the brakes are $80 now (2023)

I have watched almost all your videos on repairing the whirlpool top loaders. You have covered almost everything which is an amazing resource for me as a laundromat manager. One of the things that I have not seen is a video about replacing the seals in the drive shaft, I watched the replacing seals and bearings in the support shaft, and used things I learned from that video to make the process easier for the drive shaft. I would love for you to make a video specifically about the drive shaft for any insider tips to make the process even easier.

Excellent explanation, I thank you for that tutorial, it is very helpful to me, thank you and greetings from Panama City.👉🇵🇦🙌👋👍

Thank you! Thank you! so much for this video. My washer wasn't spinning, and after replacing the clutch, it still wasn't spinning. After searching the web and various forums, it looked like I needed to replace the entire basket drive assembly which is over $100. At this point I despaired thinking that my washer's time had come to an end. Then I stumbled across this video and realized that I could just buy the brake shoes and save a bundle! Woohoo! I would add however, that I don't believe you need to remove the drive shaft to replace the shoes. I will certainly be trying to replace the shoes with the drive shaft in place. Thanks to APP for helping us DIYers keeping these old but reliable appliances working!

I think our brakes have just gone out. It's clunking to an abrupt stop at end of spin cycle. Looks like a lot of fun. Lol. but you did a great job of explaining what needs to be done. Thank you. Just got to get the parts and get it done.

This is overkill, just to change the brakes. You folks only have to remove the agitator, flip it over and remove the hoses, 3 bolts then pull the shaft, motor and transmission at the same time. very helpful video, lots of helpful details, thank you for helping others.

that was one off the best tutarial videos ive seen

Great video. You make it look easy. I need to repair mine and hopefully I don't have to order more parts? I ran a service truck and did all kinds of repair for 20 years, including repair of Continental H-20 commercial washing machines, and believe me this looks easy compared to some! I love how well thought out the build of these machines are. Well done. I wish the dairy's equipment rooms were done like this repair room!

I just used an air hammer didn't have a spanner wrench I have mine all apart and the drive block is stuck inside the tube I didn't realize it will come out thanks for the detailed video it helped me a lot

I've been working on my washer for a week and I've tried everything, a capacitor, check the pump, everything and I really think the brakes arent the problem... But the little piece in the thumbnail, the white one, is broken. So I think I need to replace it. so thank you

Well done video. Nice step by step instructions and I work on washers and dryers.

Top quality video! Covered every step 👍 thanks.

Great video! The spanner wrench is a must have tool to remove the spanner nut. Even with penetrating oil and rubber mallet, the tub would not come free of the drive block. Removed the transmission and then tapped on the top of the drive block to free tub. Hardest part is getting tub out. After that quick and easy repair. Tub and drive block had built up gunk so plan some time to clean.

Best explain yet of any you tube

Excelente video maestro y excelente trabajo en lo personal me sirvió mucho felicitaciones y su merecido LIKE. SALU2 DE MONTERREY NL MÉXICO Y GRACIAS. ✌️👍👍

nice instructional video, excellent value...thank you !

Gracias por tu video y saludos desde Guadalajara jalisco mexico

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful in helping me understand what’s wrong with my washer.

Clearly your pump has been leaking. What's the purpose of the white paper on the bottom side of the motor? Mine fell out , should I be concerned? Thanks for being so positive!

Son Grandiosos, saludos desde México... Gracias

Matt, you make amazing, thorough videos. I have a 3 year old Whirlpool washer that makes a rubbing sound at every 360 degree turn of the drum. I am trying to watch these videos to see what the problem may be. A service technican had no idea! Matt (or anyone else), do you have any ideas as to what this rubbing sound may be caused by? Most videos just show you how to fix different parts of the washer, but give no reason why one would know why this or that part needs to be replaced. Thank you.

Thanks for teaching me how to fix the issue. And concluding that it’s not worth fixing it

Thanks a lot Matt, its a great help to many

What do you call that spring behind the brake and how do you know when it needs to be replaced. Like, what are some symptoms ?.

Very well explained 👌

gracias; la exposicíon del procedimiento; muy bien. bendiciones

Excellent video... thanks 😊

I have a really great whirlpool built in 89 gave me no trouble until last week.. it had a burning smell..and it wont spin,, ok one youtube vid said its the coupling or the clutch .. i bought both and replaced both and those parts were fine.. no reason to replace them but i did anyway.. replaced the agitator dogs too.. put it back together and it still wouldnt spin and had the burning smell again ( not the motor) i assume its the brake system and it wont unlock.. do you have an idea why the brakes would lock on this whirlpool when everything else is working properly ?

Thank from Colombia

Now this is one Awesome step by step video. TU+SUB

that was perfect. thank you so much

Excellent Video!, all the internal parts and components on this unit are the same as my Estate (lower end washer), except the control knobs. just goes to show you higher end appliances aren't much better then the lower cost units from the same manufacturer

Thanks for your help

Buen día charly seguí los pasos de tu video pero mi lavadora sigue sin funcionar como si el cluch no ensamblara con el frano del tubo spin que consejo me pudieras dar ya que jalo el agitador hacia arriba y trabaja bien el siclo de centrifugado pero vuelve a repetirse la falla De antemano agradesco tu comentario saludos

Also you can use long pointy pliers to put the bolt in while the agitator is sitting down on the tub.

Thanks for the vid, what if one of the wires on top of the motor is shorting? The washer won't drain and stops after a few seconds on some speeds. I couldn't find any obstructions and the pump turns fine. I replaced the gear case & motor coupler, but it is still doing the same thing. And then I noticed one of the wires on top of the motor is black and melted at the connection. Can I just replace the wire connection or is something else causing the motor to overheat? The brakes and clutch look ok to me.

So how fast or slow should the drum stop after spin to know if the brakes are working properly?

Great video, but it would be good if you showed us just how the old parts were worn out so we can know if that is the part that needs replacement. Like the comment below, I've replaced every part, but still no spin.

Fantastic video ,thanks

These are top quality videos! Thanks

Great video! We’ll explained. Thanks!

My favorite demo!

Need help... I did the clutch repair on a LSR7010pq1. The center shaft was corroded and would not come out. Took a lot of effort, hammering and time but I got it out. I removed the inner spin basket thinking it would help me get the shaft out. Wrong. The drive block is stuck in the basket and no amount of hammering with a 4lb mallet will set it free. Replaced clutch and reassembled without issue. The drive block was very difficult to tighten and get it to lock on the shaft. But I got it tight. Now when empty, Low spin is fine but in high spin it goes violently out of balance. I checked the suspension components and they are all in tact. The Spin basket remained attached to the shaft after several tests. Not sure what went wrong. I think it is related to the drive block or the basket. What confuses me is that it is fine on low spin. I am going to run it without the Spin basket to see what happens. Any Ideas what my problem is ?

Hello there, first of all great video, as many I've watched from you. My question is, when you removed the basket drive assembly ~10:17 you said you only needed to turn it counter clockwise and pull, but in my washer though it turns counter clockwise I can't pull it off. It there a way to know what can be holding it? Is there a part a area in which I can add some lubricant or penetrating oil to loosen it without damaging anything else?

There’s also a hack fix if your washer to stopping too fast to avoid removing everything. Remove the outer shell and tilt the washer back against the wall so you can see underneath where the brake shoe and drum is. Watch this video to get an idea where the brake shoe is. Apply some high temp silicone between the drum and brake shoe. You can rotate tub some so you see the spring which will give you enough space to use a flat blade screwdriver to apply some silicone to the metal outer drum. Just apply a little. Also be sure to use silicone instead of grease or oil. I’ve heard those will eventually decay the rubber on the brake show more.

Great tutorial. My washer stops so suddenly it moves an inch.

My direct-drive Kenmore 500 washer makes a "squeegee-like sound" every time the brakes engage at the end of a spin cycle. Is this normal? Other than that sound, the brakes do a fine job of stopping the rotation of the inner tub in less than 3 seconds.

I have replaced both the couple and the clutch brake. My washer still only makes the noise of spinning but does not budge.

Mil gracias

Thanks for the info

thanks, it is a good video

Exelent You working

Why would you change the brake shoes vs brake assembly?

if the inner tub spins freely by hand when its off does this mean brake pads need replacement. ? its also not spinning during spin cycle.

I'm just wondering what I'm missing here. Why did you go through all that extra work by removing the cabinet. I just unplugged it, disconnected the water lines and drain hose. Then I removed the agitator and laid it on it's back and I had easy access to change the brake shoes. I completed the job without a problem.

If the spin tube seems stuck, how do you get it out, I have done everything as directed but it won't come out, it moves about one in, I have a Kenmroe elite, I need to replace the brakes.

El buje donde está montada la pieza está muy desgastado como lo puedo cambiar?

nice 👍

Hello, I have whirlpool WTW5200VQ2, and machine does not run after water is filled up to the level. I have empty out the drum. I noticed that inner drum is not free, I mean it does not rotate by hand. is it normal or something wrong. Please comment. thanks

buen video

The pliers for unscrew hoses where do you get them? Share a link where i can find them

Excelente Saludos

i tried getting that brake tube off, and i saw the brake assembly. my machine had no short tube. i replaced the clutch assembly the other day. put it back on the transmission, then i changed the motor coupler. tried pushing up and counter-clockwise, as you did, but she didn't give an inch. after this, i replaced the balance ring. since i had not yet spent what the stores were asking for heavy duty maytag washers and dryers, i decided to try to fix/find the problem. the motor, transmission, water pump, capacitor, water level float---checked just about everything but my butt hole. agitator, drain, fill, worked on all cycles. nevertheless, it would not spin the clothes, even though it would pour rinses water in the spin cycle. after cycle, the tub would drain. the anger begin to really rise up in me, so i took everything apart, again. checked my work, and put the washer back together. now there is no sound on spin, and the machine does nothing but a slight hum on all cycles.checked agitator, dissembled it. replaced agit-digits. let water disconnected, but turned current on, in order to see what was then occurring. same thing. faint hum everywhere, except the silent spin. some of these vids suggested that a no spin zone might possibly be due to switch lid. 5 min fix, easy, no problem, no expense, use zip ties---yeah. after a rather severe beating, kicking, screaming, and crying session on the old girl, i set out to do these alleged easy fixes. over 8 hours later, i had found all 3 of the lid switches. this washer bore a resemblance to the aftermath of the titanic. i finally traced and pulled wires and little boxes, none of whom that favored anything on you-tube. i happened to have unhooked the one that worked, before we all began rewearing our underwear, both inside and out---same for socks. some man suggested a staple put in the switch would bypass the program, and spin would work. another lady told that i could take a guess and cut the plastic clip, that traced to the lid. my wires are green, brown and white---i think. though i haven't chosen to do this yet, i guess it is something like hot wiring. i don't know why it quit all cycles. should i put the 2 wires together w/ one of those electrical caps? i have a heavy duty kenmore, if that means anything. inside, looks as if 3m company has a warehouse on premises. i didn't have that much tape, when i had worms.

my washer machine is a kenmore 800 series . it comes to an abrupt stop the machine makes a loud noise when it stops and the machine moves when it stops after every cycle, is this what i have to do replace the brakes ?

@14:40 what's the part number for the plastic cam?

Me gusta gracias

i noticed when you lifted the inner tub a water sloshing noise. Hear the same on my washer but can't get any water to drain out regardless of how i position the inner tub. Is it desireable to get this old water out somehow?

Is it similar if my washing machine has the door at the front?

Why wouldn't you clean inside and outside drum along with the seals. Cleaning inside agitator also a good idea.

Y GRACIAS , YA VI COMO CENTRARLA

My kenmore washer 600 series spin once it get to spin cycle,so I replace the motor coupling,clutch shoes,lid switch,,and still same result no spin,the only way it would spin is if I rock the tub back forth then close lid and it spins. What else should replace?thanks.

You could have put the motor and pump when it was laying down; it is easier for me.

Disculpe ese clutch para que sirve?

QUE BUEN EXPLICADO

Cool technical

I don''t understand why you removed the motor? I would have just pulled it off with the transmission.

I would probably change the coupler and clutch while I'm in there.. just saying

Very informative but my idea and your idea of “easy” is waaaaaaaay different!

Muy interesante me resultó

thanks amigo

ya vi, gracias

First, great video. Thank you so much. Second, may all washing machine engineers be cursed with tongue warts and a plague be upon their houses. When is the last time you had to pull the axle on your car to change the brake shoes? It's absolutely possible to engineer the brake assembly so the shoes can be replaced with everything in situ. But it might have cost them an extra dollar.

Can I monitor the sound while recording on my iPad

You listed a symptom of "abrupt stop". Isn't that what the brakes are supposed to do?

👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

It looks like that spring loaded brake shoes spun too easily.

Hola hablan el español ?????

Now days you replace the whole basket brake assembly.

My washer does not spin, when I try to move the tub with my hand it doesn’t budge.

Thx
