I love it when kinda ordinary folks do amazing things that save the kinda average guys like me some money and time. Great video! I hereby subscribe!
Thank you for the support! Much appreciated!
I like the way you showed how to remove the transmission when it was stuck. Nice work
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video. It showed me this is not a DIY project that I can complete. Will be calling a repair person later today.
You are welcome! Sometimes, knowing when to stop is the best option
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.
You can do it! Good luck!
Mine is 3 years old and it just started doing this. Thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks!
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!
Appreciate the kind words!
thank you so much for the video. saved me a lot. it was impossible to remove the transmission from mine. would not budge. finally grabbed a 30 lb. sledge hammer and banged it out to the very end.
I'm glad I could help! Yes, sometimes they are really seized up in there!
Great work and nice video, I do not have the skills like you, I am going with a new machine. Thanks.😀
At least you made an effort! Appreciate the kind words!
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.
I like that fast forward ya got goin’.. cool to watch!
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.
Great job getting through it!
@@DuctTapeMechanic thanks man. You’re a scholar
Thanks so much very helpful
You're welcome!
love the name of your channel
Thank you!
Thank you sir. Mine is doing this and I cant afford a new one right now.
Very helpful video I have subscribed
Thank you!
If you make a video of the bearing replacement I would love to see it if they even make a bearing that you can buy for that
great video thanks
Your welcome!
Very helpful
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber here
Thanks for the support!
I would love to see the transmission repair. My transmission has rusted splines😢
I have an washer that just started doing this. It’s an older top-loading Frigidaire. It doesn’t have the sealed transmission box like this one. I’m looking for a video on how to fix it. I think it will be more complex than this repair, unfortunately.
My whirpool not only made loud noise, it shifted as well and cloth were not draining if I used large and super load.
solid
I encountered this problem after I replaced the actuator on my washer. That's crazy if my sealed bearings went the very next wash cycle after I replaced the actuator/tachometer
Stanger indeed!
Mine squeals when it spins, even when I turn it by hand. Any suggestions on why that might be? I've already changed the seals & bearings.
My whirlpool washer only screams during the braking cycle of spin, when it is trying to slow the tub from spinning. Any ideas. Is that a transmission issue as well?
The bearings are probably common. I’d like to see you try to replace them after removing trans and shaft. Might need a press.
You dont replace the bearings ,they are in the gearcase
Also replace the tub seal
Thanks, my toploading Maytag screeches during spin cycle. Could it be the same problem? Also there is no tag with serial number on machine.
Most likely the same issue, particularly of you have a machine with 6 led lights followed by a pause play button (they are all made by whirlpool)
Check right underneath your lid… back side of the washer,top side of the drum,it’s kinda hidden…..ours had a upc,along with model number
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!
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!
@@DuctTapeMechanic thx for the speedy reply… greatly appreciated!!!
Mine has been like this for about 2 years now. Works fine just loud as hell. I just leave the house when the machine is running lol
What if it makes a grinding/screeching noise at the end of the spin cycle?
I have same problem
Mine did the same. I changed the pulley belt and solved the noise.
I have a whirlpool washer that makes a horrible grinding noise at the end of the spin cycle not during any idea ?
Most likely the shift actuator. The part he pulls off at 3:30 in this video
What causes the bearings to go bad? I have a whirlpool doing this and it’s only two years old.
Poor quality bearings!
Mine sounds like its slipping and never engages in a full fast spin. Cranks up to spin, makes an awful noise and just lets it free spin until it winds down. Could this be the problem?
It sounds like an issue with the clutch (which is a much easier repair). Check out my video on it!:

@@DuctTapeMechanic Thank you! I will do that!
I have the same washer and it makes the same noise when it spins
Bad bearing/transmission
@@DuctTapeMechanic Bearing failure is very common on this particular washer
How can i test the spin or rinse spins without putting water on it? So i can fix and work on it much better
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.
@@DuctTapeMechanic awesome sounds great thank you,it would be great to see a more detailed video and description into the manual test to know more about it and what to do and not to, in my case i just dismantled everything since well it seems it turned out to be the transmission after i bought the 2 pieces that we're above and below of it 😅 so yeap another washing machine cause Damm whirlpools are annoying
Might as well replace the washer lol
Aaaah then you haven't seen my video in which I actually rebuilt one of these transmissions.
What is the trick to get the wash plate out of a rusted spindle?
Wd40 and a lot of rocking the wash plate up and down
My Crosley sounds like a freight train in the spin cycle
Most likely bad bearings
Can I do the same with my g e washer
New style ge washers are very similar
Fantastic video this is exactly what's wrong with my washing machine but how do I reach him? I want to talk to him and see if he would be able to come and repair mine but I have not been able to find any way to contact him does anybody know? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️Does he have an email address or a phone number there's nothing listed on these videos!!!🤬😬😡🤦🏽🤦🏽☹️☹️
Never buying Maytag again, this thing hasn’t lasted 3 years and it’s already falling apart.
You must not be using it right. Ive had mine 12 years and the bearings just now started getting loud so I did what this video told me to and I cleaned everything while i had it apart and by god it runs, smells🙃, sounds, looks, and feels like brand new
My washer is really loud in the spin cycle, I do have some videos of my washing machine spinning that you can watch:
This is what it sounds like:
th-cam.com/video/lO7qTDfsxM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_TzmXXzdylO_bgi4
Sounds like a bad transmission, but I can't say for certain without being there. Try spinning the basket with your hand and listening for a howling noise
@@DuctTapeMechanic It did make a howling noise when spinning it by hand
@@JohnAdams1-y5w bad bearing in transmission
Diy milestone
What’s the part number
Best thing to do is look at the part number on the transmission you are removing
This is too much! My machine is a Whirlpool, not even a year old, and making a sound just like in the video! I’m sick of it and will never buy another Whirlpool ever again!
