Exact noise my washer is making. Its not even a yr old! Thanks for the help! They definitely dont make them like they used to!

Diy Videos like this bring a tear to my eye. 😢 No stupid music, excellent explanation, great video, no Shaky camera, good lighting, no extra talking, straight to the point. Subscribe and liked! Thank you! 😊😊😊😊😊

Same washer nightmare I’m facing. Same friggin machine !!!! You’re awesome!!! Thank you

After 2 days of searching for a repair video i found this video, i have a kenmore that makes that exact sound. Its a relief to know i wont have to call anyone to repair it

I appreciate the knowledge. Service Man was trying to tell wife it was non repairable. It's not even a year old. He told her transmission was almost as much as the washer.... So again I say Thank U!

Thanks for the video. I just took my Maytag Centennial washer apart and brought these parts to my local appliance dealer/repairman. He said the teeth looked fine so the problem was likely the transmission and would be very costly. I put the same parts back on and made sure the nut was tight. No more grinding. ZERO COST REPAIR!! Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for this video. I had the same noise and I went to go look at everything and the nut had backed off the bolt on the pulley and allowed it to drop and disengaged the clutch. so I didn’t even have to replace anything. I’m 3 loads in and everything seems fine! 🎉 this saved me so much bc I’m a broke single mom of four kids and I can’t afford a new washer right now.

People like you make my sister think I'm a genius!! ROFLOL I truly appreciate this because that noise makes you want to run away!! She heard it and told me it was too noisy I couldn't fix it it was too broken.. lol

Thanks for this video, this was a big help to me. Note: I have a Whirlpool washer and you don't have to take to shift solenoid off to replace the clutch assembly.

Fixed my washing machine today because of this video. The kit he refers to / links to from Amazon is actually pretty bad quality. I spent an hour or so messing with the splutch. Once it was in place, the gear would not shift. I eventually went back to the original parts as they weren't broken or worn down. I added a bit of the grease that he mentioned and reinstalled. Gear shifting worked as expected. Once everything was in place, I put the machine back, hooked it up, and ran a Normal Wash cycle. Worked perfectly. Thank you for this video!

Worked like a charm. Good stuff, definitely gonna come to your channel to fix my appliances.

Thanks man, I've just finished the repair . I my Whirlpool works quietly once again. You saved me some coin.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. It was pretty easy to do and fixed the inexplicably loud noise from my 13 year old Whirlpool.

Tape! we`re watching this like we`re watching heart surgery. so if we miss something, we feel like we might die. put the camera where we can see every speck of action, we don`t want to miss anything. bravo!

Great video!!! Aircraft mechanic here and you did great explaining things! got my kit on order.

Very informative and to the point on disassembly and reassembly. Haven’t found my problem yet, but this helped me eliminate some things.

Thank you, Sir. My washing machine was doing the same noise and thanks to you. I check it out and it was only loose. Problem fix thank you so much.

My washer was making this exact noise and wouldn't move or spin. So I ordered the part kit you linked. I took off the old clutch gears and none of them were warn or ground down. I figured I'd try replacing them anyway and somehow it worked. Thanks so much!

Great job on the washer repair and the video I appreciate it being very clear and straightforward!! Thank you

Thank you so much!!! This fixed my washer. You saved me so much money!!! I was able to follow your instructions easily. I had to do it twice because somehow I failed to put the gear shifter thing on correctly. But that’s my bad! I appreciate your video- concise and informative. 100 stars.

Thank you. You just saved me $1500.00 on a washer and dryer set!

Great video but my issue was the drive pulley on the motor, so I would order that also with the clutch kit just in case you need that also.

Thanks for the video. My Kenmore is only 5 yrs old and the grinding noise started. Thought it was the washplate but couldn't remove the bolt with a ratchet. Called an appliance tech who couldn't remove the bolt either so together with my impact wrench and his adapter got the washplate removed, it was fine, he was baffled. He consulted with fellow techs and concluded it is the gearcase and the cost to replace that is more than half the washer value. I don't know if it IS the gearcase or if it's the clutch.

Thanks for the video. I haven't diagnosed the noise yet, but it sounds exactly like the one in the video. I will hopefully be working on it within the next few days. Thanks for your time.

id like to see ore videos like these with a tools list at the beginning. Great Video!!!

Hey just a filming tip. When you use the selfie camera the picture is backwards, like all the letters in a word. With your selfie camera on you should be able to go into its settings and change them to flip the picture on playback so it isn't backwards. Thanks for the video. It helps a lot!

Awesome help and fix Duct Tape Mechanic. Very detailed video for us DIY old folks. The replacement prices anymore are putting a huge strain on the elderly, Thank God for people like you to help us out of the money pit of today lifestyles. PLEASE keep the DIY videos coming, to day you were our lifesaver. Our washer and dryer were only two years old when it needed this kit, Thanks Again!!!!!

tks my friend took me less then 1 minute to fix after seeing you vid .... tks hose were already out, unscrew the protector zip zip, move the arm that was badly engage ... and works fine now

MY MAN!!! 1 hr later and an 18 dollar part , no issues after I was told by "pros" its trash get a new one

Great video , helped me with fixing my washer . This was the exact noise it was making and I was able to buy the kit from the link....only problem I ran onto was the cup (middle peice) was way to tight had to use the old part but I believe the spring was actually the problem because all the other parts fit perfectly and the noise went away..ty again

Thanks. Gave me the answer I was looking for and saved me a lot of money. Appreciate you doing this post.

wow. after watching this i realised even my dog can fix a washer with his tool kit and so many washers get tossed

Great job, short and sweet and to the point for us attention deficit challenged. Just order my parts for this very job.

Excellent video brother!! This is exactly what's going on with our washer. Appreciate all your help God bless you. Thanks for the video.

I had a hair get into drum seal and that let a small amount of water to leak and that got into bearings. Binding bearings can make the trans fail to shift and that eats the clutch plastic teeth. The Centennial uses bearings that are not serviceable and the drum support/gearbox is spot welded sheetmetal. Service guys will quote the trans and clutch due to the high failure rate of the seal, especially in areas where water is hard and deposits shorten life of the seal.

Not the exact noise mine is making but youre already more helpful than the actual companies youtube channel. 🙄

Easy to follow, fixed my washer. Great video.

You have saved me so much stress! My clutch was sticking, so I didn't need to replace it. I just cleaned it and greased it. Thanks!

Same noise ours is making. Going to follow your steps and hopefully we will be back in business soon. Thank you

Short and to the point. My 12 year old Whirlpool started making this noise. Looks like I’ll take it apart and hope it’s the same issue.

Thanks for the vid👍my Maytag bravo MCT washer is making that same noise I'm gonna give it a shot replacing it gonna cost me $35 I hope that takes care of that issue...

Very helpful video. Thanks .

So happy I came across this video. Exactly how mine sounds. Will be trying to fix mine myself due to easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much!!

You know your stuff but it helps so much that you explain and show the detail. thank you

Also make sure that the washer is level or the washer will not operate correctly. A torpedo level and pliers to adjust the legs of the washer.

Thank you so much for this. I understood everything perfectly to get this fixed.

Thank you so much for showing me what my problem is my GE is not even a year old it's only 9 months old and I have the problem of the teeth of the clutch grinding her yeah grinding I guess that's what you call it and you saw my problem but I don't know where to go to get the parts

Make sure you tell people. Put the center ring the right way. Other than that PERFECT !!!!!

You saved the day!

❤❤❤ thank you a million times over this actually truly was simple and it worked thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

Molly is a great lube but don't get it on the belt or in the channel of the pulley where the belt goes. Moly is hard to remove off any surface

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge! You explained it very well. It was easy to follow.

Hello! I was able to replace the parts as directed but it’s still make a similar noise

replaced the parts as you showed and it still made the exact same noise. I then replaced the part under the basket agitator and still the same noise. It is the exact noise you have on the video. I need help. Ron Wilkinson

Good day from Ontario Boy interesting video. Thanks

Changed the clutch and other parts in the kit but still making noise when I turn it on ! Which is weird because it seems like it's the pump or something else,

My same machine is making the same noise. A great video and easy to follow, however, my clutch assembly looks completely fine with no wear. Could this noise be the cause of a bad transmission or shifter actuator?

Thanks for video. Very good step by step. Thanks again!

I have a 4.7 cu. ft. Top Load Washer w/ Built-In Water Faucet & Agitator. It also makes the same noise, how do i get to the part since its a different model? Thank you in advance, can you point me in the right direction.

Well I'm going to give this my best hope I can do it as good as you did thanks

What did you use to clean the teeth of the transmission? 4:56

Great video! Really helps in the diagnosing and repairs. Thanks.

Thanks this fix worked and save me some money.

Love the video! I have the same problem and I have ordered the assembly, but I can't get the nut off to begin with. Even with an impact wrench. Any tips?

Does the agitator on this machine spin separately from the drum or is it fixed? Mine doesn't move at all but the drum spins around it. No weird noises though

I'm curious - why did you not also replace the pulley? The grinding must have worn down the teeth on the pulley as well as the teeth on the splutch.

hope this is what's wrong with mine, has a very similar sound. Gonna flip it over tomorrow

Most helpful my friend. Thank you very much. God Bless

Thinking about replacing the plastic pulley wheel on the transmission motor, let me what you think? It does have alot of wear

Whats the part # for the nut that goes on the bottom of the shaft pulley mine fell off cant find it

So just took this apart and the gears actually look good but there was no crease at all! Could that be the problem? Or do you think it's the pulling motor? I could order it but I put grease on and I guess we'll see if it picks the problem

Thanks for sharing, very informative video.👍

Is the transmission leaking? If not, then what. Is all the black spray-out pattern?

Mines making a terrible loud grinding noise randomly too. I took it apart and all the gears look fine. I took off the agitator and thwre was a hair ball stuck. I removed it and put it back together and it made grinding noise again. Doesnt seem to happen everytime

Who else is ready to go back to an old ringer washer with me?

Actuator was changed, at times high speed spin/agitate no work Ran both tests (auto,mea😮an) will clear and work 1or2times after recal. Last run 1st ag cycle screach stop. But would drain and spin dry (both speeds) w/ slight screach 1or 2 time. Code 7/1-7/5. Basket looks good.. very slight out of round?

Very nice! Move the camera to the right a bit, your head kept getting into the frame. Based on your experience, when do sticky clutch gear problems like that start to occur?

I don't know if you will see this, but I have a question - I have this exact same washing machine and it's making this exact same sound so I plan on attempting the repair you demonstrated here, however there is still some water in the washing machine that I can hear when i move the drum around with my hand. I stopped the spin cycle when I started hearing that noise. Is there another way to drain it or when I tip it over is it going to spill everywhere?

Thanks for this video. Seems like our exact problem. Question: the new clutch fits so tightly on the transmission shaft that it will not slide from forward to reverse at all. Any ideas?

Hello, thanks for the video. We have a maytag model MVWC 416FW1 Type 58820 series 074931525. When our washer is spinning, it sounds like a jet engine. It is really loud. We hear a little grinding but not what was in your video. Do you think replacing with a new clutch kit will help and solve our problem and the part number you posted for amazon will be compatible with our model? Dp you think it could be the bearings? Our washer looks identical to the one in the video. Thanks!!

Great video and information. I have the same issue with a grinding sound mostly during the wash cycle. I was wondering, if i manually spin the agitator and dont hear the grinding, does that mean it is not the clutch assembly or can it still be the clutch assembly even though there is no grinding when I spin the agitator? Thanks for you help??

Thanks for the video. It worked like a charm.

i’m looking to buy a new washer and dryer. I want to know your opinion on what is a good brand to buy that last a long time I’m not looking for bells and whistles I want something that will wash my clothes and get them clean and do the job.

Sir, after I replaced the clutch, my lid lock doesn’t work anymore. Any suggestions?

Mine is still doing it in the spin and drain cycle any ideas what else could cause this noise? I have the same washer as in the video

Exact noise my Kenmore 500 was making. I replaced the clutch assemble and actuator, and everything works great except at the last few seconds of the spin cycle it makes the grinding noise again...very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Mine makes the same noise in "normal" cycle while shuttering violently. However, if I switch over to the "rinse and spin" cycle it seems to work just fine...even the agitator works quietly. Then I go back to the "normal cycle" again and the loud grinding noise and shuttering is back. Do you think this is the same problem?

You gave me weight direction to go… thank yoi

I bought my machine used and it has been making this sound for a couple of years. It is AWFUL. The other day, my machine would not drain completely. After attempting to run diagnostic tests and clear old codes, I ran a test load without anything in it. It didn't agitate at all and the lid never locked. Do you think it didn't lock because it is unable to agitate and spin? I assume the clutch is completely stripped at this point and I will need to replace the transmission, which I know you suggest doing anyway. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Great video, Thanks!

thanks for this video!

Is it possible to damage or dislodge the subject parts of this video, if, per-chance, one were to bang on the splined shaft that spins the wash tub while trying to remove the wash tub (due to rust and sludge)? It went back together just fine, but now it makes a noise very seemingly similar to the noise in the video while the tub is being spun back and forth during the wash cycle. I peered underneath it while it was spinning back and forth, and there seemed to be almost parmesan cheese looking shavings coming out from the plastic cover. It sounds ALMOST like it did before I took it apart (I know for certain there were no operational issues), but just seemingly grinding on something. I will try to take the plastic cover off and see if it still has the same issue. I guess I shouldn't have taken it apart if it wasn't broken. But you know.... if it isn't broken, fix it until it is, right?

Hello friend. I found your video very helpful. I have the same problem but I think it is not the pulley but the gear you lubricate at 5:07. That piece is a whole part or is it just that white part? Do I have to disassemble the whole transmission?

Hot damn that was my problem. Subbed.👍🇺🇸💪🙏🏼🛠️🔧⚒️

Thanks fixed was easy with your video your awesome man

We bought several Maytag professional machines for GREECE but the importer delivered them to us without preparing and programming them. after 3 months of operation, the washing machines began to have operating problems, once with the coin moneyer once with the program. random problems are error codes like LID or F27 or F28 where it takes on water without stopping. after contacting maytag in the USA they offered to change the motherboard but we contacted the importer but the card is not available to provide services to our customers we have placed a washing machine at 200 euros

How do I keep the washer running while taking a look inside? I think the middle thing doesn’t spin while in wash mode and my clothes arnt getting the proper wash

How to you get the nut off the pulley? When I try to remove it, it just spins 1:46

You sir are awesome 🎉. Thank you so much

Did you have to replace any parts? Or did the cleaning and greasing help eliminate the noise?
