@@philliptaylor5981 hey thank you very much! I can’t remember if I used aftermarket or oem on the bear/shaft kit. But I know the rods were oem. Thanks for watching 👍
@@LAapplianceguy yes your right taken off many times 😂But not this one removed bolt kept wiggling back and forth won't budge thinking about slipping a dryer belt behind it..Thanks for getting back to me appreciate you Bro
@ oh the wash plate in the drum. Yea I use airbags under them sometimes. And hooks too. Hot water. One guy said take the bolt out and let it wash. And the washplate will work itself right off. Bunch of different tricks
@@coolrobuxgaming oh no that stinks. Looking up that model it doesn’t have a bearing set to change it has a gearcase. That is where the bearing or housed. Not hard to change I have a few videos on some whirlpool and Maytag gearcase swaps too. Nothing to it 👍
@@aksel58 on a good day about 30-45min but you can run into situations where it can take longer. It’s not that bad. Getting the tub out used to be the hardest part but using the Jack makes it a breeze.
I replaced the bearings back in April. It has started with the loud jet noise. Did I get a cheap set of bearings? Is it ok to use the washer until I either replace it or fix it? Can you recommend a place to buy used ones? I live in Wilcox County.
@@dad0041 oh no. I have had premature failure out of them. But it usually happens if the seal starts leaking early. That stinks. Not really sure around Wilcox. But it won’t hurt anything until it gets to where it’s throwing codes. Man can you get a new set under warranty? The whirlpool parts get 1 year warranty
@@dad0041 if the water is coming down the center I’m not real sure there is a way to stop it. But you can maybe throw a washer pan under it to catch the water that way it doesn’t get on your floor.
@ well it would work if the leak is from the outer part of the seal to drum. But if the leak is coming from where the seal meets the shaft. I don’t know if it would help. Maybe it might. But the shaft has to move. So it’s a toss up.
@@dad0041 if you want the best ones I’d say go with the one Factory whirlpools. The choice and erp brand is ok. I use them a lot. Make sure to allow the glue time to dry before putting any water in it. I used to give it a few hours but now I let them sit over night at least
@@LAapplianceguy ...I worked for a major retailer doing appliance repairs. Techs were given the bearing tool but after several failed leaking repair attempts it was cheaper to ship out a replacement tub. Additionally, older tubs that had bad bearings tended to have a buildup of soap residue resulting in smelly machines.
Finally a decent video on this!! Did you OEM on your parts?

Make it look easy,Doing one this week any ideas how to get rotor cover off?
What do you mean? It usually comes off pretty easily. Well once you get the bolt out

Great repair. How does this model of washer shift between agitate and spin? Thanks.

I got a Crosley washer that is very loud in the spin cycle
@@homeguestunton oh no. Yeah a roaring or airplane taking off sound is usually pointing towards bearings going out.
@@LAapplianceguyWhat washing machine do you most commonly get if it has bad bearings?
@@LAapplianceguyList multiple top load washers you most commonly get if it has bad bearings
@@homeguestunton whirlpool units. Maybe since there is a lot out there. Or maybe their seals crap out faster. I don’t know why. 🤷♂️

@ I’ll ask pop and see if he does. But I don’t know of any.
Is there any way to stop the water leaking until I can replace the bearings?

@@LAapplianceguy what about using silicone somewhere in the bottom of the tub as a Band-Aid?

@@LAapplianceguy Thanks. That gives me a better understanding of what to look for.
Would it be easier(and cost effective) to replace the drum?
Can you recommend good quality bearings? I replaced mine in April last year, and they already going bad. I have this model washing machine. WTW8000BW0

@ where can I find choice and ERP?
@ eBay maybe. But for less problems I recommend the oem. Parts Dr has a good price on the oem but I’ve never ordered from them. We use encompass a lot
just order a new tub....it comes complete with new bearings
