Sixtyfiveford, You always get a well deserved thumbs up from me. If the motor coupler is good, then its usually the clutch. Replace clutch or tighten the pads against the drum by using spacer washers. See video: clutch reconditioning whirlpool washer by the appliance man. Thank you for your presentation; always top shelf.
Hey thanks
@@sixtyfiveford Thanks for the reply Sixtyfiveford. Please keep your tutorials coming as we love you in the youtube classroom!!
Is there a way to tell, before taking everything apart, if it's the coupling or the clutch? My coupling looks intact and is spinning pretty well, but the drum doesn't turn to wash or spin. Searching a bit, usually if the coupling isn't the issue it's the clutch. And I wondered if the plastic part of the couple connected to the transmission was worn out and causing the issue. Seem like the coupling 65ford links to would be good since it has a metal core. I think I replaced the coupling some years ago, but haven't had time to scrounge through household repair receipts to see when or what I bought. Guess I have to take off the motor/transmission to get to the clutch anyway so I'll be checking the coupling first anyway. And they don't seem to cost too much so I might replace it while I'm in there.
@@stewartbruce2409 I replaced the clutch and motor coupler, and reset the motor by unplugging for a moment the plugging it and lifting the lid 6 times within 12 seconds, as whirlpool instructions say.
Still no spin. Pump is good. It empties. It agitates. Just won't spin.
I have the same problem on a ge washer exactly as you described. I bypassed the id switch do its not that@@MissionaryInMexico
Thank you cost 4.95 and I made mom proud that her daughter fixed her washer.
I'm a senior lady who likes to repair things like my motorcycle, washing machine, car, microwave, etc., myself, too. Another thing that helps me in addition to these great RUclips videos is to take pictures, with a digital camera or my cell phone, each step of the way as I take something apart so I can use the pictures as a guide to reassemble whatever I'm working on.
That's a great tip.
Hey, just wanted to say, you saved me lots of money. We didn't have money to call repairman, last time cost $200. This time I got the part for $25, I couldn't wait for Ebay. The new parts have a metal insert collar so it won't round. But it is swedged on, so you have to use a socket to drive it on. Make sure you put it on the Transmission side, shorter shaft. Thanks again for your help.
Have to tell you. This video made it SOOOO easy to check everything with my 30 year old Whirlpool washer that wasn't draining or spinning. I had already diagnosed the lid switch issue and bought the replacement. Before I re-assembled the unit to test it, I used this video to make sure the pump housing and coupler were not in play just in case. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Great job, have the exact machine. Bought it used for 200 for washer and dryer 14years ago. First time acting up. Won't drain. Sure I can fix it now. My wife loves this machine and refuses to get a replacement. This video was the clearest on RUclips. Thanks so much..
You’re a life saver! My washer wouldn’t drain or spin this morning and because I watched your video I found that it was an issue with that door latch. It took me only a few minutes to fix and now I’m good to go. Thank you!!
Let’s go!!! This girl just fixed her washing machine!!!
Lots of money saved on a repair man. Thank you for making this video, good sir!
Great. I'm glad it helped.
Thanks for people like you that put a variety of repair videos on youtube.
Thank you for showing me how to fix my washer. Your instructions was very simple. You saved me $$$$$$$. You get 5+ stars.
Awesome. I'm glad it helped.
You ROCK!!! My Kenmore washer stopped working. It would fill but stop. I watched your video and placed a zip tie on the lid switch and viola!! It works!!!!! Thank you, thank you!!
Great tip! The switch was broken AND the ground wire was as well. Thanks much!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You saved us HUNDREDS if not MORE!!!!! We found our replacement part on Amazon for 10 bucks 1 day shipping with Prime. And back to working like new! Bless you for helping 🙏 ❤️
Nice repair. You just saved yourself $150 in a half hour. We live in a throw away world, most people would bust out $1000 for a new one. That's why people like you and I have a fat wad of cash in our pockets.
Thank you to the ends of the earth! Exact issue was happening I reached underneath there and just work the wires around and worked the switch around to make sure there wasn't any crud built up on it and now it's just ripping away on the spin cycle. Who would have thunk it?Thanks again. You just saved a whole lot of people a whole lot of headache.
I just wanted to say thank you my walking me through how to fix my washing machine. My whirlpool coupling broke and you took me step by step on diagnosing the problem and fixing it. Ordering the part right now I'll let you know how it goes once it arrives. Thanks again!!!
My washer was full of clothes and bedding, would not spin OR drain. Within the first minute, you solved my problem. Thanks!
GREAT. I'm glad it helped.
Dude! Thanks so much for this simple, well explained video. Saved me spending minimum $250 for a used replacement washing machine. although I did overtighten the screws at first, causing the washing machine to make a high pitch noise then I could smell burning rubber/plastic. I backed out the screws a few rotations and voila! No more high pitched noise or burning smell.
Thanks for the video! Washer works like a dream. Although the pump was a total pain to get off and on. I appreciate you taking the time and sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Total coat of repair was around $16.
Can't beat that price. Your welcome, I'm glad you tackled it yourself.
Great video, I have never seen a "square" motor in a washer, but I have not looked under our Kenmore washer, our washer is about a late 80's very early 90's model.
It works good but when it spins it will shake our whole mobile home...LOL.
We have to balance the load of course but even than it shakes and yes I did level it.
What I had to do is jam a 2X4 and screw in down tight againced the side of the washer tight with the dryer.
Thank you so much for that precious video a fixe my washing machine take me 20 mins so proud of me
Thank again
Keep up online 👍
Thank you for the excellent video. I was able to fix my washer for $7 plus less than an hour of my time.
Awesome.
They are a different beast. They are still easily serviceable just set up different.
I replaced the lid switch on my washer 2 years ago, but now I'm having the problem of the clothes still sopping wet after the spin cycle. For now, I can just put it through another cycle, but I know that solution won't last long! I was concerned about the potential cost of parts, so thanks for mentioning that and for the detailed repair info. Now, I feel confident about taking it apart to determine the problem and fix it myself! :)
This is an awesome video. It helped me understand this process. I also need to know how to fix the drum when it is moving funny. What I mean is the drum rotates off track as it seems. I do need to fix the coupler first, but the drum problem still exist.
Thanks for the tip - I'll check that video out also. Hopefully, I will be able to determine the problem when I get it apart. Because of it's age, I was worried that it might be time to replace it rather then spend money on parts, but I think I might be able to squeeze a couple extra years our of it yet!
I checked my door switch like you mentioned and that's where my problem was. The switch housing is seperating and not making contact inside. An easy fix and a lot cheaper than a service call. Thank you sir!
Dude.:..dude... you’re the man!! The first minute of your video fixed my washer!! By far the most helpful video I’ve watch!! Thank for saving me 500 plus dollars!!
Great to hear!
Wow! I was about to replaced our washer until i saw this. Thanks for making this video it helped me a lot.👍🏾
Right !!! Lol money saved
Thank you so much. Zip tie on the switch worked.
Lifesaver on after a long day at work.
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks.
Love all your information given here! You are the best. Thanks for part purchasing help too!! ❤
that zip tie fix just saved me $$...thanks bro
Glad I could help
I almost replaced my washer until I saw this. That was too easy! Thanks for the video.
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for an informative video was able to fix my whirlpool washing machine never worked on 1 before today your video pulled me through it no worries ty
Thanks for the help did it all by myself!! When I started the washer it was great up until 5 mins in it smelled like burning brakes.
Awesome. That's a lot easier than ripping into the underside internals.
thanks man,..my switch was cracked..i put a zip tie on it.. and re-attached it and it worked.thanks..now it spins and drains
Thanks for the tip on the door switch. I'm a complete amateur repairman, but that's what it ended up being and I wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't mentioned it in the first part of this video. Much appreciated. -Dan
+Daniel James That's great. Got to love a cheap and easy fix.
Thank you!!! This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Fix my washer and the real boss is happy. Cheers!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much!!!! My washer wouldn't drain or spin, a simple zip tie fixed it!!!! So simple and such an easy fix......although you told me how, I am now a hero to my Hubstud!!!! ;)
That's GREAT.
Great demo on replacing the transmission to motor coupler. Wish there is a service to come by and inspect these things once every year or so. It will be worth the cost than having to replace the whole thing with a new machine.
Great demo. That washer is exactly like mine. That coupler is my problem.
Glad the video helped. Hopefully your machine is up and going soon.
So helpful!! The part was inexpensive ... and it took me less than an hour to replace the part. The replacement process was exactly as shown in the video. Easy!
I'm glad the video was helpful.
Please where did u get the part from and the name of it.... thanks
Me too!! Fixed with a zip tie and I found 18 cents in the basket after it drained. A win/win situation. Thank You!!!
You are a blessing - just fixed my washer before my wife got home and blames me
Thank you so much!!!!! Saved me lot of money. I just had to repair ac unit so was not happy when washer stopped working two days later.
My last machine had the electronic timer switch go bad,plus the pump was leaking. I don't know why I didn't think of ebay for parts. Could have saved a bundle. Great vid!
Thanks pulled it and got the part for 20 bucks runs like new again!
You're too kind. I know when there isn't something I've worked on before I love going to youtube to watch someone else do it. It lets me know what to expect.
I need help. My WM won't drain. Or do much of anything
Good job! This is usually a $300 job, and your tips can save us this kind of money.
Thanks so much! Washer is back running again!
I just went through this about a month and a half ago. One youtube guy was saying it is the lid switch, another saying it is the motor and another saying it is the capacitor and then another saying it is the coupler. My washer stopped washing in the middle of the cycle so I had to drain the water out and take the wet clothes out. Lid switch was good, the capacitor was good (went to a parts shop and the nice lady checked the capacitor with a capacitor tester, you don't use a resistance meter on this as it does not test it right) so the guy told me that it is probably the coupler ($25.00) so I bought it with the understanding that I could bring it back if the problem is something else. When I took everything apart (just like your machine) the coupler did not look that bad but I did not look very closely at the motor piece, I was looking mostly at the black rubber part so I changed everything out. When I tried this the discharge hose popped off (just changed out the hose last year) and flooded the room. I stopped the machine and put a worm gear clamp on there so it would not pop off again. Everything ran fine but a couple of times there was a burning smell but no fire or smoke so I am not sure what that could have been. I need to watch more of your videos, they will save me time, money and aggravation. Thanks for what you are doing.
I'm glad the video helped. As far as your symptoms go: It is most likely your clutch. It requires a few more parts removed but really not to difficult or expensive. I don't have a video on it but there is a good video here on youtube by a guy named Bill. It is called Kenmore / Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning 1.
I hate looking for video help and ending up with one throwing out part names and crap like I don't need the video! Lol Going slow and paying attention to detail is what it's all about. I like that you mentioned parts and costs and where to get them. Nice job. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks so much! The tabs that held my lid switch together cracked off and it was open, causing the contacts inside to not touch when the switch was pushed down. Zip tied that sucker and it works now. I was racking my brain wondering why it wouldn't go into the spin cycle. You saved me big time, bro. Money's tight and I cant afford to buy a new washer right now! Thanks a million! You rock!
Thank you for saving me $800. I was about to buy a whole new washer.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Hey Moe nice job. You are right about "Going slow and paying attention to detail is what it's all aboutt about. " Due to time constraints, we often rush and end up paying more then necessary.
Thanks!!! I'll try it and see if the reset works first. If not, your video will be most helpful to watch again.
Ruth Warren
Thanks very much. The switch was defective on my washer and the sip tie worked perfectly . You make it look so easy, keep up the good work.
+Keith Adams Awesome.
Great tip on the ziptie temporary fix on a broken switch. Much appreciated!
2x4 trick.. I like it. Sometime a spring that holds the drum can break or just come off its mount when the machine is moved. This will cause the horrible shaking. Thanks for watching.
Ebay is your best bet for finding parts and appliance sites will help you find the part number you need. It may just be your lid switch.
The little tab that depresses the door switch most likely barely depresses it. The vibration of the washer can lift the lid and kick the switch off. Also the lid can bow and barely hit the switch ( bend the lid back into shape and take the bow out). You can also hook the 2 wires going to the switch together to bypass it completely (unplug the machine first) or you can try putting something heavy on the lid and see if that remedies your problem.
Thank you. I understand and will proceed to fix my non-spinning washer.
You just saved me $600!!!!! THANNNNNK YOU!!!
2 years from the video post and it still helps. cheers!
Ovidijus Srebalius Great.. I'm glad it helped.
coolest guy on the YT's. "Give me a thumbs up; down"; he does the videos to actually help not just for the revenue.
D4x4Bronc Wow, thanks man.
This is the best video about this machine .... I will resolve my problems. Thank you and blessings.
Thanks.
You was a great help. You just forgot to say turn water off, from main line. Lol
Great info video same to exact problems. I will be looking parts up and getting to work as soon as I get them. Thumbs up again. .
Omar Hill Thanks.
thanks ill have to check them out next time i always give them away when they break and buy a new one this would save me some money
Awesome. Glad the video helped and you had an easy fix. Thanks for commenting- Moe
Straight forward no bull advice that makes sense & it works!! Thanks man!!
Hey Thanks.
put a new coupler on mine 2 weeks ago . I just went ahead and bought two!!!
Thank you for this video. I just fixed the door switch. My washer is working now.
misstanisha2280 I'm glad it was a simple fix. You're very welcome.
That was a big help thanks for showing us how to fix that problem?
Thanks. Followed your video. Easy as one two three. Only one thing I think you left out is to turn the water off before taking the hoses off, other than that great.
+Gilbert Scott Yeah, that'll keep you on your toes.
I'll be fixin my kenmore wont spin but drains top loader tomorrow...going to use ur video to help me...ill let u know how it went
Great video tutorial. Quick and to the point with all necessary info. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Wow! Loved the video. This is my first comment on any youtube video. I'm an old guy. But my Whirlpool Estate stopped spinning and started making this horrible grinding noise. I guessed it was a part that I might be able to replace. After watching a couple other videos I came across yours which explained things VERY well. I followed all of your easy steps and I've just found a broken coupler. I've not yet replaced it, but it seems pretty straight forward. THANKS!!!
+George Rutherford Thank you very much. I'm glad the video helped.
Yeah, I checked the switch, and for good measure bypassed the switch and tried it that way with no luck. It will add water, but no agitation or draining. There are no other sounds when I move the timer in to different positions. I'd almost guess the timer selector switch is worn out, but I'm just guessing at this point. I will tear it down again tomorrow and look at the motor just to make sure.
Thank you for helping me. Much appreciated.
wow dude u just fixed my Kenmore! thanks much
Awesome.
My brother had thrown his out because it wouldn't spin or drain n it looks like an 80s model Whirlpool so I'll try to forward this to him. Thanks for the vide3 oh he said oil was leaking too so might need an overhaul 😂
It worked thank you man you just saved me $400
MrGonzales1982 I'm glad it helped.
Thx for the advice so far! I got everything back together and bypassed the switch. Still running into spinning problems. Now that I can keep the lid open while it goes through it"s cycles I can view what's going on. I tried a load of towels and it could not muster up enough to make the drum spin. I helped it along and it did spin but not at full speed. I took towels out except for 3 and still had to help it along but this time it went full speed and accomplished a semi dry load. What now?
Thanks for this video! Turned out to be lid switch and I zip tied it like you said and BAM....back in business!!!
Cheap easy fix.. Awesome.
The vertical machines are just cheaper, that is why they are so popular here. Last I looked they are about double the price for a front loader but manufactures here are pushing to sale the front loaders more (to make more money).
I think the pieces are built out of plastic to be a weak link. I could be wrong and they could have done it to save money as well. Definitely resemble a cush drive.
Thanks -Moe
Thank you so much, you saved me so much time and money!!
saved me 300 bucks you are my hero!
Very good repair video. It's 3 years late 4 me. Had this problem, and figured it out and fixed it. Now Whirlpool washer shakes rattles N rolls when on spin. I tipped machine fwd to re-balance it. I leveled the machine with front legs, but no luck. Can U do a video on this problem?
I took a look at mine, and everything appeared to be mechanically OK; put it back in place, and it worked. I might order the coupler to have on hand. Thx.
A similar thing happened, as I recall, with agitator dogs. The agitator wasn't working (years ago), and I took it apart; they didn't look bad. I put it back together, and it has worked ever since.
So glad people like you make helpful videos like this. Thanks!!
Katherine Rhee I'm glad it helped.
thanks for this video. i thought i was going to have to pay 300 plus fora new washer but even me who is far from handy can do a fix like this.!!!
Awesome.
Thanks very much. The falilure was in the door switch. I fixed it with a plastic belt around the part. Again, thank you very much, my regards
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for the video, straight to the point and easy to understand. Does the machine need resetting afterward? I've got an older Whirlpool. Since you didn't mention it here, I'll assume I don't need to reset after making any needed repairs or replacements. I think I just screwed up my machine by opening and closing it during cycles and I need to try to reset it 1st. If that doesn't work I'll ck out replacing parts. I've already replaced the agitator dogs previously when it wouldn't agitate properly. I had no idea it was so easy to replace them before looking into it! I'm sure so many people just buy new machines instead of trying to fix it. Thanks again!
Sounds like your hot water solenoid is malfunctioning. it is a little technical but not too hard.
If it spins with the timer is advanced then the coupler and all other mechanical items connected to it are fine. It sounds more like a timer problem as it seams to be getting stuck before it hits the spin cycle.
RUclips University!!!!! Thank you!!! 🥲
