Loved this video and you totally helped me repair my washer. HOWEVER....you never re-installed the water break. Luckily I was paying attention. Thanks.
This is one of the Better How to's I have seen . Thank you. My Washer is over 20 years old (and Dryer set) One last repair before I retire them.
Thank you for making this video. I need to remove the clutch assembly. Seeing how it was done made it easy. 👌
without Simon I could hae never rebuilt my Kenmore 90 sezries. Thank you Simon.
They should do car repair videos. Change oil step 1 remove engine so you can get it on your work bench. Ect....
I found a substitute oil for that transmission. The OEM Whirlpool oil is $30-$35.00 for 15 ounces. Go to walmart, Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts. Get a quart of Hyperlube Oil Supplement for around $8.00. A quart is 32 ounces. You only need 15 MEASURED ounces for that transmission. Take some Diesel and an old paint brush and clean the old oil out. Measure 15 ounces and pour in the Hyperlube. Our machine actually runs quieter now.
Forum said you could use Supertech Gear oil from Wally World 80W-90, it's only $5. They also said thicker oil bases would make the washer run more quiet, but it would also cause things like the motor to run harder and hotter.
Another, nice, professional instruction from you folks. Thanks.
Use a paracord or nylon string to wrap around tub and back panel. This really helps when you go back & forth with upright and laid back. All these years with no help, you learn. thanks for the video.
What about just replacing the seal without opening and draining the gearcase by using gravity to keep the oil inside? Mine just started leaking a little. There's still plenty of oil in there.
Excellent Video. Thanks guys
I really appreciate you guys and these videos. And I appreciate the comments. I found that I couldn't remove the tub then figured I didn't really need to. I guess removing the inner tub reduces the weight of laying the unit on it's back. Anyway, I was able to do something I never would have THOUGHT about attempting before. Thanks again!
very well done you took your time and did a very good job. Thank You.
Kinda fun to take apart. I just did it on my 1998 Kenmore 80 series washer since it had a minor oil leak. The old oil had lots of dirt/grain on the bottom. I filled up the bottom of the gearcase till it started pouring out. Hopefully I didn't overfill it, was 16 oz.
Esta es la reparacion de la lavadora Whirpool que esta tirando aceite. Muy detallada explicacion
Yeah, Clean the basket, tub and top ring. Also, the wiring harness connect on the transmission; squeeze the connector from the back side with your fingers to release. Using a screwdriver on the wire side of a connector is asking for a skint wire. Other wise, another descent Whirlpool Direct Drive Disassembly, Assembly video.
Will this seal fit my Roper Model: RTW4340SQ0 ?
Mine also has a hole underneath the gearbox with a metal piece inside that almost looks like a drain plug but it's not keyed for anything I have seen, although it is notched. the main loss of oil has actually been through this location (whatever it is) and the shaft seal. Have you ever seen a Whirlpool gearbox like this? My main seal shows no oil loss.
Seazed spanner nuts are the bane of my existence
I've only done the spanner nut once & had to use a dremel to cut it, then pry it away from the threaded shaft. The spanner nut is some kind of soft pot metal, so it's pretty easy to do. You don't have to cut all the way thru it, just as far as possible without cutting the steel tub or anything. Then when you pry, what remains below the cut will break. Also, in case it needs to be said, make the cut where the drive block has the slot.
Oh good grief. You don't need to remove the case, spanner nut, drum or any of that. That is a TON of unnecessary steps. All you need to remove is the agitator.
Very true, but if the seal on your gearcase is That Old you probably should replace the tub seal as well. Sucks, because I have to get a spanner wrench just to remove it. I've already tried removing it without one and it's impossible. I have a bad feeling it's going to be hard to remove With The Wrench. I'm going to keep soaking that thing with liquid wrench!

If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Clean the tub and basket then replace any rubber parts seals while you’re already in there.
Why you remove the tub fo? You don’t have to do that to service transmichagin.
no crap, lay the thing down on the side and the trans pulls out from the bottom.
James Lester- Very true , but having repaired hundreds of these machines I can tell you that they have an affinity for building up a stinky , bacteria laden sludge on the inside of the outer tub that makes it well worth taking apart whenever you do a repair. Even if you don't need a repair . I would take that inner tub out once a year just to clean it.
why did you remove the inner tub just to pull the transmission . you do not have to remove the tub
And then put it back dirty
How in the world does everybody get the suspension springs back on by themselves at home?? The way they're curved back into themselves, I can't get them to pull out and then hook on to the brackets, and especially those tiny eye brackets at the frame! I'm getting close to my 'tool throwing mode' here. Help!!
If oil is leaking at the seal, why not just add more oil when you pull out the old seal? Then you wouldn't have to remove the whole transmission.
Jason Morrell- The oil is very heavy gear oil. Even if it was a light oil , you would never get it to go past the bushing and the shaft. The gap is too tight. If you could get it to go in, how much would you add?
What if the rubber is broke up around the tub up top on the tub
What is the model number of your appliance?
What problem's would one have if it leaks oil? Would the washer not spin properly?
It will spin correctly until the gear box oil that is leaking form the seal saturates and causes the clutch to slip.
@@brucealan8690 That is exactly what happened to me.
My problem is water in the gearbox. Why is it happening?
Dude you for got the water 💦 Dispenser 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great video Though Thank you. Great Job 👍
No, he didn't. He just forgot to show it. You can see it when he is putting the skin back on.
I would put a grease instead of oil
You don’t need to remove the spin drum... all you have to do is replace the agitator
noice
My 2005 kenmore elite top loader spins but takes forever to get up to full speed and doesn’t get the clothes dry enough, so I always have to run the spin cycle 3 or more additional times no matter how big or small the load is. Any idea? Could it be a bad clutch, faulty motor capacitor, bad bearings, or weak motor possibly? Every google search leads me to nowhere.
Also, if it's leaking water & the water is getting on the clutch, that will cause the clutch to slip & the thing won't spin & the clothes will be wet.
J KY I’ve never seen any moisture on the floor around the machine after using it so I think we’re good on that. Anyway, I got a new machine recently and rarely use this one anymore, mainly just for dirty work clothes. It works fine with very small loads. I will probably attempt to fix it someday and if I do, it will probably outlast the new washer.
Way too many steps to replace the seal. Leave the shell on the washer, lay the washer on it’s side and after removing the agitator pull out the trans from the bottom.
Lot of unnecessary work !!!!
