    This is by far the best, to-the-point guide on replacing the transmission. Fixed for me, too. The most trouble I had was the unit's four bolt sizes for the transmission - not 3/8". I had to work with 10mm. Thanks for the great show!

    Mine is three years old and just started doing this. At first it was squeaking and grinding like a bearing was going out. A few loads later this noise. Since then I have researched the replacement item and can buy it for around $150. Thanks to you I will be doing it with a handyman coworker at my work. Our shop has all the tools.

    Ours doesn’t make noise while spinning like here…. Buuuuut, damn it makes a super hard knock at the end of spin cycle.. not sure what to do there. Just replaced the dogs in the agitator(noise is not new). I’m guessing it’s some sort of brake? If you have any ideas,I’d appreciate it.

    Excellent video. 9.9/10 just because I had a lot of trouble getting that plastic U-Clip back in the hub but i finally figured it out by shaving with a steak knife and whittling it down and then putting it all the way clicked in before I put the hub down over the transmission i had to force it down but after getting to the end of the job and spending over an hour just on that U-clip. (Last step) i was very relieved to see it was in, then i just tapped it back far enough to get the screw in that slot and I was able to tack it back into place.

    thanks for the video. My problem is when it first 2 spin (when it rinse and spin), it's shaking the machine with a banging loud noise that it move the machine around. However, the last spining ( I assume less heavy load because the water is almost empty) is very quiet. Any advice?

    So if I don’t have the extra $175 available till next payday(not for two weeks) and I can deal with the loud noise, is it ok to use the washer??? Basically, is it just annoying but since I can deal with the freight train in my washroom, it’s ok to wash clothes??? Really appreciate anyone that helps with their knowledge!

    • @DuctTapeMechanic
      @DuctTapeMechanic  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eventually, the bearings will seize, and the drum will stop spinning (might also damage the tub seal/tub). Will that happen in two weeks? Probably not, but don't hold me to it, lol!

    What about Maytag washer that sounds exactly like tv or radio static. Only lasts 7-10 seconds . The weird thing is it sounds like radio static amplified by 20 arena rock speakers. It’s and ungodly noise and ends as abruptly as it starts . It does not sound mechanical and I don’t smell electrical or ozone, it always stops when I go to investigate and only shows up may be 1 in 19 cycles.

    • @cl219
      @cl219 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you have an older one chances are it just needs some grease around the basket drive where the brakes pads are located. That is IF it is a direct drive style whirlpool. You can unclip the pump off the motor, then drop the transmission with the motor still on it to get to the basket drive

      There is a manual test mode that you can out the washing machine into which will allow you to test the spin and drain without water. There are a lot of good videos/instructions online on how to get into manual test mode. Perhaps I'll make a video on it in the future.
