@briansiedenburg2514 9 ай бұрын

Newbie here - My washer has all the signs of a broken motor coupler - It makes noise but does not agitate/spin, and it stopped spinning after I washed a blanket (another sign). However, after taking everything apart, the motor coupler has no obvious signs of damage and isnt rounded out; still fits well into either shaft and spins the shaft when I manually spin it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel 9 ай бұрын

That sure sounds like a motor coupler. Maybe one side of it has the plastic forks broken, or the rubber piece is torn .

@briansiedenburg2514 9 ай бұрын

@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Hi Scott, thank you for your reply. The coupler is good. I removed the entire gearcase from the bottom to see if it was the clutch. I could not spin the clutch with my finger, so it doesnt seem like that was the issue. However, when I tried to manually turn the input shaft that the motor coupler would normally attach to, the output shaft did not spin. Every now and then it would barely move a millimeter or two. I also noticed that the gearcase was leaking oil. So my conclusion is that the transmission is bad. Does that sound correct? Thanks in advance for your help.

@jerrydewitt8937 3 жыл бұрын

enjoyed your video. whatever you do dont use the coupler with the metal insert. though it would appear to be a better coupler, it will be the last one you ever install on your machine. the problem is the metal coupler will destroy the shaft of the gearcase and the motor. its the third generation of the part over a 28 year period and the metal insert is stronger than the shaft it mounts to so it rounds off the shaft instead of breaking. Use the cheap plastic one and you wont destroy the machine. I think Whirlpool did it on purpose. thanks

I did that , but now it's clicking stop and starting at the same time, I smelled something burning, so I just stopped it , I'm wondering if it's the Motor going bad or the transmission or the capacitor not giving a nuff boost

So I’ve got the outer box removed and I’ve taken the two clips off the water pump, but the pump (which seemed to just pop right off in your video) will NOT come off. I went so far as to slip a screwdriver behind the pump and tried to pry it off the shaft that runs into the pump. Wouldn’t budge. It feels like there’s something on the end of the shaft that is keeping the pump from coming off. Any idea what might be happening?

@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel 2 жыл бұрын

You’re doing good, Rust has expanded the metal shaft which is now stuck in the plastic water pump. Use even more force to break it free.

Need help, my washer leaves clothes wet. agitates fine with new doggies, i replaced transmission, motor coupler, clutch assembly. Everything works fine except no spin. When I tilt machine over it starts to spin, I put it back level and it finishes the cycle and spins fine. But when I start a new cycle, it doesn't spin again. Tilting machine somehow fixes it but won't stay fixed next cycle.
