    Excellent video. I used it to fix my neighbor's Whirlpool washer. Couldn't believe how easy it was.

    Thanks so much Mike! Fixed mine in under 30 minutes! Saved me a big repair bill, waiting days to get it repaired or the bigger expense of replacing it and the bigger bother of carrying the new one in and the old one out. Some money for a case of beer is on its way! Thanks!!

    Spot On! Your video just saved me from what I'm sure would be an expensive repair bill. It's amazing that my Kitchen Aid washer's interior is identical to the washer in your video. The hardest part was getting those darn clamps back on the motor. I don't have a paypal account but if you're ever in Kansas City, I'll buy you several rounds of beer. Thanks!

    Great Video, Mike! Very smooth presentation; and perhaps I missed it, but it would be nice if you began presentation with what the symptom(s) of a broken coupler is/are. Right now I have a washer that makes a death noise at the end of the spin cycle as the tub continues to spin...If you read this and have any idea's, please pass 'em along... Otherwise, thanks again for the great tutorial!!

    Thanks for this video I was able to replace the coupler for my Kenmore washer easily. Plus clean the back and underneath of the washer after 10 years! Yes, I need to buy this guy a beer.

  • @techsport456
    @techsport456 13 лет назад

    Very well put video tutorial Mike .You explained each step correctly in how to change a motor coupling .This issue is very common on whilrlpool & kenmore washer machines .Usually you can identify if the coupler is the problem by just looking to see if the star like shape plastic part on the coupler is cracked The item Number for this part is #285753a .Thanks for the video

    I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial! We were able to make a 10 year old, $50 washer run like new again in about an hour. The washer broke late Saturday night which caused us to panic, but we figured out what the issue was and watched your video and we're washing clothes for the week as I type this. Five of the six plastic pegs had snapped off, and the rubber was so broken down that none of the peg holes were even remaining. Seriously, thank you so, so much!

    I actually left the pump hoses attached and they didn't get in the way. Less messy clean up. The hardest part of this whole thing is getting the coupler parts to line up when installing the motor.

  • @tgriffith42
    @tgriffith42 13 лет назад

    Awesome video, Mike! Luckily - I read the comment from mbrandon9, and I was able to catch most of the water spillage. Working on my washer was just like everything you showed in the video, and it was a breeze. Have a beer on me... (sent from my PayPal account labeled: TrackDayRiders)

  • @budgetappliance
    @budgetappliance 14 лет назад

    Good Job. I personally put the rubber boot on the transmission side. Each to their own. Also- why remove the hoses from pump? Simply rotate pump toward left side. (I have a long screwdriver that I place in the hole on bottom left of frame. This keeps pump out of the way.) Removing the hoses is more effort and possibly opens the possibility of leakage greater than just leaving them alone.Be sure to turn the transmission shaft (spline as you called it) to test if the transmission is locked.

    I thank you so much for making the washer repair so easy. I was able to access my washer's pump, drain the tank, and identified my baby son's sock in the pump. After removing the sock and putting everything back together, the machine worked like a charm. You are a tremendous asset to the youtube community. Keep the videos coming!

    Thanks Mike! Great explanation. I was going to attempt this on my own but I'm glad I found your video. Made me much more confident I could do the repair. On a side note I just fixed a dryer belt on my neighbor's dryer while he was out of town hunting. With four kids his wife couldn't have waited a week for him to return. Never tried that before and it went well. The following day MY washer coupler went. Your helpful video was my reward for helping my neighbor yesterday :o)

    After purchasing the $40 part, my husband had it fixed in under a half hour. Thanks so much Mike for sharing your skills and easy to follow repair instructions! We couldn't have fixed it without your video! We also got a chuckle because our washing machine is the same brand and looks like a very similar model to the one in your video!

    Hi Mike, My mother called me and asked to fix the washer if possible. I was not sure what to do, but after doing some research and watching this video, I got the motivation, and I was able to fix it. Thank you sir.

  • @mbrandon9
    @mbrandon9 14 лет назад

    This was a great explanation! Thank you so much! I was able to replace the coupler without problems. The only thing left out was that as soon as you disconnect the tubes, expect a fair amount of water to come out(I should have known that though).

    What a great detailed video No nonsense. Very well described. Gives me confidence in taking a look at this job. We have a maytag that is going slow. your video helped think about the job and what is in there. I probably have a transmission or motor problem. Mine just slows down and makes a rubbing sound. We will see. I doubt my washer comes apart THAT well. I guess we will see. Thanks!! My wife and I thought that was OUR 3 year old crying in the background :)

    Great video! Thanks Mike. The hardest part is tapping on the new flanges (without damaging them!) Mike's trick with the socket was the key. You da man. Silicone spray might have helped. Also, you don't need to take the hoses off. I just pulled the pump aside, hoses and all.
