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!
Save me some money! Thanks a million!!!!
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!!
Couldnt have done it w/o this video. You are a Godsend!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks buddy. I am a DIY'er and I was wondering how to take the dryer apart. Your video was EXACTLY what I needed to disassemble and repair my switch.
Mike, I would REALLY like to thank you! I just watched this video and was able to fix our washing machine and saved some serious money. I appreciate your work. Thank you buddy!!!
Thank you, appliancemike. I just saved about $100 as a result of your video!
Thanks for the great tutorial! I have used this twice now to replace the coupler on my washer. Great video for the DIYer!
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.
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!
Thanks!! Ive been fixing domestic refrigerators for 8 years and im great at it. Now im fixing samsung and lg washers and dryers. There a pain in this ass but im getting it. I just dont like customers with there W& D in a tight spot or closet! lol!
mike you rock i fixed my washer in an hour flat!!! doing laundry now! great explanation.
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.
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)
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.
Thank you so much for posting this video! It made the process simple for me. I really appreciate it. =)
Thanks a bunch. You just saved me some money. My water pump was broken and was the cause of the water leakage. Very easy to remove and replace. Thanks again for the vid..
Thank you MIke !
Thanks Mike,I save a lot of fixing my washer machine only expend $20 bucks !
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!
got it fixs..thanks for video
Great video, I think my problem is actually the clutch but your video helped me diagnose the problem. Thanks
This REALLY helped me. Great explanation.
great video...thanks!
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)
Thanks a lot this video really helped!!
Great vid. Wanted to note I was able to get the motor out without disconnecting the hoses from pump. As I was doing this in the house and I knew the machine still had water in it
Thanks appliancemike!! Great vid. A $27 coupler and I'm back in business.
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!
Thanks appliancemike this video helped me soooooo much wonderful help!!!!!! I'm a married 34 yr old mother of 3 boys actually 4 if you include my husband LOL :) and I replaced the coupling myself !!!!! Thant involves me do everything you did in the video word for word now I'm back in biusness of being a mom by doing laundry again!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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).
I would have been lost without your video. Now, my clothes smell spring fresh once again. You're a (social) LIFESAVER!
My washing machine looks exactly like this. I took out the motor the hard way, from the bottom of the washine machine. Great vid. Thanks.
Excellent job on the video. Clear, concise, easy to follow instructions. Got the job done in no time. Please keep up the good work.
hey Mike, You are a great help, i just saved 400 hundred bucks, my washing machine is like new. thank you so much. regard joey veeeeeeee
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 :)
Wonderful explanation. Thank you. THANK YOU.
Thanks Mike!!! Was this close to buying a new washer, $500 I don't have!! Thanks to your tutorial you just made my mortgage company really happy that they will get a payment afterall. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! Piece was snapped in two, a $10 diy repair vs almost buying a new washer.
Nice demo Mike. Lock & Load!
Thank you so much! My fiancee and I fixed our washer with this video alone!
excellent instructions! I just replaced my lid switch in under 30 minutes, thanks to you!
you just saved a whole bunch of money for my mother and her washing machine...concise instructions, thanks!
Thanks a ton, worked like a charm and saved a lot of time.
OUCH Love the cut on your left inner forearm ;) Appliance service has these dangers.. People beware!!... Guillotine cut sheetmetal is SHARP !! lol
Thanks, Wonderful.
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.
