Best repair video for tub banging I've seen - No gimmicks - A repair that makes sense
I really appreciate that comment. I personally love doing this repair. I give my customers a year warranty on this repair. The beauty of this repair, years later if it starts to shake you can simply tighten up the collars and you are back in business
It's been almost a week and several loads of clothes and the washer is running smooth as new. Thanks a lot!
Just so you know as time passes and you notice it isn’t as it was, you just have to tighten up the collars
I like the way he resolved the tub banging - I watched other videos - Guy's using safety pins - Liquid nails - Nonsensical approaches - But by him using the collars - This made good sense to me - And simply tighten the collars over time as necessary . . .
Appreciate that sensible response. Thanks
You're the best !!! Did this repair about a month ago, it's been great ever since !! Thank you friend !👍👍
Much appreciated! Keep it mind you can always revisit and tighten up if needed
Found this video today. Already ordered the clamps. As soon as I fix mine, I'll update here. Thanks!
and, still did not get the clamps? You said 6 months ago that you will update here... lol
Thanks for this tip...i will try it as well and keep you posted...
This is brilliant... I was contemplating how I might involve a gas strut and this is the much simpler solution with same result
I laughed out loud because I actually considered that
Thanks a lot for your sharing.
Thanks, I'll have to try this, Ive rebuilt a lot of stuff on my Maytag commercial washer, new transmission, agitator, clutch, clutch actuator. Had I seen this video I would have gotten these clamps, as my machine does shake more than it should. At least its not a Samsung. I really like the old school machines like this. It actually washes the clothes!
The older direct drive are the super reliable ones for sure. You can email me if you have any questions
Awesome fix i did it Thanks the best fix out there i made them tight after 2 washes it leveled right out PS. I put a little Lock tight on them tho !
Great tip, thanks for watching!
This fix is genius. The manufacturer should add this to the washer design. I measured the thickness of 2 quarters as 0.130 inch which is slightly thicker than 1/8” = 0.125”. I then used calipers to check the gap width. Also, to ensure that the collar screws do not vibrate out, I added Threadlocking glue (the blue or orange version) where the screws can still be readjusted. Do not use the red version which is permanent.
Thanks for the measurements I’ll add that in the description. Yes I agree with the thread lock. I have used it, but didn’t noticed any movement as in coming loose. Yes the orange version I’m good with. I’m coming out with a Samsung’s version.
Fantastic idea, the collars worked perfect, i had to tighten and little bit more than the 2 quarters method, i ordered thru ebay, with free shipping. I figure now if it starts to get out of balance just tighten collars and fixed. Thank you for the video, and easy to understand instructions.
Appreciate the feedback. Yes the quarter method is pretty close, but sometimes a little bit tighter is best. Thanks for watching.
I did have to re-tighten the collars, but the good part is i did it just opening the top and reaching down to tighten about half turn each .@@appliancerepairshorts
I also had to go quite a bit tighter than 2 quarters. With 2 quarter gap I felt like they were still way too loose. I ran the washer and it worked good.
Thanks for sharing.Going to give this a try
Update us on the repair
Mate have watched many so called solutions but yours best especially having simple adjustment option even if some time involved to get best results?! Great video Cheers
Actually I’m have been doing this for probably 6-7 years now. I figured why not share my knowledge. This particular repair that is.
Update from last week's repair. Now it seems to be functioning pretty flawlessly just did 2 load and no jumping. Go figure, I'm good. Thanks again
Awesome news
Wow great idea to fix not replace original parts I just ordered this part to see if it helps. Thanks for sharing.
Really quick check your washer suspension rods. Make sure you have a nipple. Like a stem . If you don’t, the collar will not work. I’m coming out with a fix for those ones in a day or two
worked?
Thanks, bud. I plan on trying it.
So, I fixed my Maytag using a combination of this method and another YT video tutorial. My rods didn’t have the upper tip part for the collar to grip on to, so I:
-found 4 large safety pins
-pulled open the upper white lid from casing
-insert one safety pin through the bottom of the white plastic lid
-cut safety pin on bottom (leaving the coil part) and bend coil flat
-reconnect casing to white tip
-cut electrical tape width in half and wrapped around the safety pin (to create a tip for the collar to lock on to)
-installed the collar as instructed, with the >2 quarter gap
-fold safety pin over collar gap
-cut excess safety pin on top
-pulled component down and applied grease
Component was still able to slide and it fixed the issue! Thank you!!
I like how you did that. Pretty smart. I actually have a video coming out on the ones without the nipples
@@appliancerepairshorts did you ever put out the video of how you fix the rods that have no plastic nipples for the clamps to be use on? I have been looking for it but i haven't found it.
Same... Would love to see that video😊
Just did this repair yesterday and the washer works flawlessly. This is just what I was looking for. Lost a little blood, but that probably would have happened anyway with the janky safety pin thing. Thank you so much.
You made me laugh out loud. I appreciate you feedback. Keep it in mind you can always adjust the tension as needed. Thanks again
Yep. I expect them to loosen up over time and will react accordingly. With gloves on.@@appliancerepairshorts
If you have old gator skin like me you don't have to worry about cuts and blood.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Thanks ❤
Welcome!
Awesome! I'm a sucker for the simplicity of this.
I have posted a different solution (I replace the "cup" with some epoxy; it holds the shape well and over a longer area against the rod). But your way also restricts the flow of grease between the rod and the piece of plastic. That's the magic! If the grease has broken down to yellow or brown, replace it (that will matter). This solution is easier to do than mine, though. I will try it on my next "bouncy house" washer!
I'd be curious to see what happens if I do 2 rods this way and 2 rods my way in the same washer - which needs another "tweak," first. Seems like a science experiment I need to do on the next one ...
Awesome to hear about your idea. You are absolutely correct about the cup. So if you only do two rods, if will not stop the bouncing. If you have a load in. I’m curious on the epoxy because some suspension rods you cannot install the collars on. Some other guy uses rubber .
Mine doesn't have the nipples , I going to try the grease idea, & my Maytag commercial grade washer was just 2 years old in April. We paid$650.00 tell me what other washers are associated with Maytag, I won't be buying any of them either.
What cup & how? Please
@@jplafoot whirlpool makes Maytag, Amana Roper, estate,but I’ll tell you unless you get a Speed Queen, they all have suspension rods. I’m definitely seeing some Whirlpool washers failure more often than ever. The collar is definitely an upgrade. What is great, is you can also go back and snug it as needed. Thanks for watching. Keep me posted on your repair
Very good repair. The issue is the black rubber grommet beneath that white cap is intentionally undersized so that it can't slide easy on the shaft and acts like a shock absorber. Like on a car to keep it from bouncing on its springs. But it wears out. An easier fix is to pull up the white cap exposing the black grommet and wrap a copper or steel wire around it and twist the ends until it is tight on the rod again. There's enough room inside that white cap to trim the twisted wire and bent it over against the grommet so the white cap slides over the twisted wire and it looks like new.
Thanks for the feedback, I tried a few different methods. I settled with the collars because I wanted to share it. Pretty straightforward and repeatable and adjustable. I actually have a couple more pairs on the other whirlpool that you can’t use a collar on. I have not uploaded it yet. On the repair you mentioned, how would you determine the level of tension?
I shortened the rods by an inch. Works fine now. Need to see how long it lasts of course. Just moved the crimp up on the bottom of the rod.
Thanks for watching, that seems like a lot of extra work. Not sure how that is actually reducing the bouncing. I think what is happening is, the rod where the damper goes up and down is super smooth. By raising it, you have introduced a rough section. I have done what you mentioned on old GE washer that the apron was sagging. The basket was rubbing on the bottom of the washer floor. I’m curious how that is working out.
So the springs are losing their tensile strength is what I’m getting but I will have to this thanks
Thanks for sharing this repair. I ordered the collars and they're arriving today. I'm excited about fixing these issue for $10. I'll let you know how it goes
@danmartinez7272 how did it go? Did your washer bounce again after the $10 fix? Please update. Thanks
aku hadir bosqu, woooo mantap
I can't imagine the soft plastic under that metal collar won't wear out far more quickly than the harder plastic of the original damper. It'll be interesting to see how many years this fix will hold up.
Actually the damper that Whirlpool uses is soft rubber foam. The plastic that the collars are squeezing is actually harder. You also have a larger area of contact. I have seen it last 4 years then you can snug it up. I’m very curious as to how long it will last you. Please share your experience.
Glad to see this. I had wondered about using some kind of clamp on some of these rods, especially the GE rods that have the spring completely covered.
Do the GE rods have some sort of dampening grease in them when new?
I have one that shows no sign of ever having foam on the rods. Not sure I have ever noticed this before on the machines I have worked on.
I did come across a GE rod that I had split the plastic like piece that covers the spring. Evidently, it was back when I was about to investigate ways of fixing used rods.
Btw, the GE rods (front) on one machine I have are blue and have a longer nipple where you put the clamps. Would it be advisable to double up on the clamps if there is enough room?
On the older style GE they use a vacuum type of damper. Pretty much if you wear it down, it could sag. I have a video somewhere that I used the collar to raise the drum. The blue, white yellow or whatever color the sleeve is. It plays as a dampener. Thanks for watching. I have a video coming out on Samsung suspension and some whirlpool that the collar doesn’t fit.
Great video thanks..... Would a small hose clamp work in place of part you used?.. Type used in a scooter fuel system for example?... Thanks
No not at all. Not enough clamping force. Also might be too big for the opening
Working like a charm, so far. First time this machine has washed a semi large load of towels,smoothly, in weeks! Do you use Loctite on these at all?
I should have bought a bunch of collars for reselling lol. I have before, but 3 years later it was difficult to tighten them up. It is not necessary. I have a kit coming out shortly for whirlpool without the shaft. Also for Samsung
Problem is that now the rod is sliding up and down on the tightened plastic peace and over time said plastic piece will break due to missing grease (the squishy material inside the plastic piece is greased)... How long does that fix work until it breaks again, this time for good?
I have been using this for few years. I warranty any washer I repair. I let the customer know, but I do a year warranty. If you adjust it properly, you will be fine. You don’t need grease. Thanks for watching
Could this work with using a butterfly hose clamp with the same diameter?
Not really because of the pressure. Not strong enough
I have 2 Samsung WA5200 machines and I replaced the rods with Chinese rods. They really didn't work and after watching many videos, I found yours. I had to use a 3/8" collar on the rods due to the larger size damper. I also had to replace the stock collar screws with #6x32x3/4 to allow for the girth of the fatter damper. I simply had to remove the back cover of the machines, which gave me access to the 2 rear rods without removing them. You CANNOT pre-install the clamps then rehang the rods because the damper won't fit back into the slotted flange on the tub where it is supposed to go when the clamps are installed. They must be installed with the rods hanging in place. Therein lies the problem. You cannot get access to the 2 front rods to install the clamps, unless you want to completely remove the tub first. So both machines have rather tight clamps on the 2 rear rods and none on the front 2. I have washed several horse blankets (one at a time) in the barn washer as well as other horse stuff about a half dozen times. NO MORE ERROR CODES so far. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us-It helped me solve a potentially costly fix.
I have done it on Samsungs, but I didn’t want to share it. Super difficult. You have to install them on the washer. Now I have yet to come out with the Samsung repair. I have it ready to go. I will be selling them. Cheap and last the life of the washer.
@@appliancerepairshorts THis is the one us Samsung folks are waiting for :)
I’m having this issue right now but it’s a Samsung Model Top loader would this work as well? Need advice about
Unfortunately, the collars will not fit, actually they fit, but they will not fit back into the suspension rods hole. If you are able to install the collars on the washer, it will work. I did it once. It was difficult so I didn’t share the experience. You might need to go to ACE hardware store and match the screws up. The Samsung rods need longer screws for the collars to squeeze. I actually have the rod repair for Samsung. I’m releasing it shortly
Thanks for the great information.but what that parts call and where can I buy those.
They're split shaft collars. Link for them is here: www.amazon.com/dp/B07GTC62MH/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_JG0G68BR3JYGRG8PZRJS?linkCode=ml1&tag=lwcappliances-20
Were did you get those
Parts. Aka clamps
The link is the description. Thanks for watching
Hi, thanks so much for this video. Very helpful! But I still get the banging even after doing this fix. I didn't check the two quarter width though. Could it be possible that I have over tightened the clamps?
Yes it is possible to over tighten. The quarter is a good indicator. It also helps in keeping the same level of tension. If you have a video of you pushing down on the basket I’ll tell you. It is either too tight or not tight enough
@@appliancerepairshorts thank you. After loosening the clamps a bit, it was running fine. But I only tested with one cloth. I'll let you know if it still works with regular load. What kind of video do you want me to post if the problem comes up again? Pushing down the tub from the top on all the four sides?
@@RS-sr6nu just push it down from the center, the agitator or if you have a wash plate use a baseball bat to push it down. If it is spongy they are loose and you need to tighten them up
@@appliancerepairshortsjust want to let you know that it is working fine. Since the original suspension rods for my model (WTW6700TW0) doesn't come with the notch/sleeve at the top I bought "duplicate" the ones from Amazon that had the notch/sleeve on top in order to put the clamp.
Would these collars work on a GE washer? The blue cap has a 3/8 tapered tip ? But I think the OD of the collar might interfere with the other plastic insert that goes into the bottom frame hole...
Send me a model number, you might be able to larger ones
GE GTWN2800D2WW@@appliancerepairshorts
What does the little yellow button at the top do? What is the purpose of that part?
It is a moisture barrier. It protests against rusting. It water spills, it will not cause rust on the suspension rods. Rust would cause the dampers to fail prematurely
just now completed this repair with recalibration and running our first load. so i guess we'll see how it goes. just wanted to say that at first i only bought 1 set of collars and 1/2 way through the repair i accidently striped the threads on 1 collar. it was very easy to do with barely any pressure,, "cheap Chinese steel"😖. had to purchase a 2nd set and wait another day to complete the repair. upon restarting low and behold the 1st collar i tried striped as well, thankfully this time i had 3 more as backup. so the moral of the story is purchase more than what you think you need, you can always return them if they're not needed.🤔
You know I thought I included something about the in the video, I need to watch it again. I talked about using longer screws. If you are not careful as in evenly spaced out you could strip the screws. Yeah everything is made cheap. Keep me posted on your results
@@appliancerepairshorts yeah,, I knew about evenly tightening the screws even before watching your vid,and I did do it properly with the 1st 2 but may have gotten a little over confident on the third one
But as I said it was very easy, like almost no pressure at all and the threads just gave way. While on the others I was able to torque quite heavily with no problem. Therefore I put more blame on the inconsistency in quality of "Chinese" products. By the way, we did the first load and while it didn't go into a frenzied shake with that load it still shook pretty hard. Not sure if it was a normal shake or if maybe a different/heavier load would cause it to act up again. I also put a new metal hub in before this repair. That alone didn't work. Hopefully I'll get a good bit more use out of it. But if not we bought it used for $150 at least 5 years ago so if it's dead not a big deal, as I'd say we got our moneys worth.
Yep you definitely did good on that price on that washer, did you use the coin as a reference? I have noticed washers with super bad rods that are smooth. I have at some point use 220 grit sandpaper to give the collars a better bite. Now I’m taking about the rod itself.,sanding that area of most friction
@@appliancerepairshorts yes i used a us mint quarter and made it tight enough so that you have to actually "push" it in and "pull" it out. As I said if it works for a while, that's great. If not, well then I'm not going to mess with it anymore. 🤷🤣
@@appliancerepairshorts oh and by the way, thanks for the vid. Was definitely a good one. 👍
Do Kenmore rods change out with Maytag
Yes and no. Kenmore is unknown. If it is the same manufacturer and same model, yes
Will this work on a Maytag , model# MVWC565FW1 ? Thanks for the help !
So unfortunately the collars will not work on those, but I have a similar vision on fixing those. Not if you can match up the length of the other style rods, it will work. Some rods have the lip or nipple for the collar. Thanks for watching
Will this work with an LG washer top load? Have you used this method on one?
No, LG has excellent suspension rods. I have one in the shop I’ll let you later today. I have a kit for Samsung probably LG and Whirlpool. I’m pretty going to sell it as a kit. The collars has to fit through the opening on the rod holder. The 3/8 are too large.
4 years whirlpool bounces out of room installed new suspension rods and the collar. It bounce more than it did before 😢 4:21
You 140% probably overnighted them . I explained the 2-quarters as a reference. Just remember, too stiff will vibrate and is just as bad . I would love to see a video of you pushing down on the agitator
Very nice video, would it work for a samsung machine? Thanks
Unfortunately no but I’m working on a solution for those!
Thanks thats what i wanted to know. I have a samsung washer.
Where do I get the collet to buy and what's the size
They're 1/4" and on Amazon. Split shaft collars. Here's the link: amzn.to/3NkCz3r
I ordered the clamps. The only thing is, mine doesn't have that little yellow plastic cover piece. So it will be resting right on the clamp.
Not totally understanding you. Are you talking about the little nipple that the collars are supposed to be on?
@appliancerepairshorts No I have that. I mean that little disk piece that slid over your clamp, I don't have that on there.
Hi what is the collar size and how but them please
The size is 1/4 “ the link is in the description. If you can’t find it, let me know
It would be great if you could show a machine working after you did the fix.
This video is a detailed description of the collars being installed. I have a video of before and after. Also the installation of the suspension rods.

I took mine apart. I bought from amazon some brass shim material. (very cheap) I lined the entire hole with brass shim. Then I slid my rubber into what is now a smaller tighter hole.
Interesting, I actually tried a few different methods, but the collars are the only way to fine tune to the proper stiffness. Share your pictures or video
@@appliancerepairshorts Different thickness of shims. I also got the collars as a back up plan but 1/4" is way too small for mine. I re-ordered the 3/8" collars. If I ever have to go back in I will install these in addition to the shims. I also ordered new rubber pads from Amazon to cushion the walls of the machine where the drum bangs and has beat holes in the existing ones.
Explain the clamp.... where do you get one? On-line?
I included a link in the description also in other comments. Let me know if you still need help. Thanks for watching

gonna order me up some collars and see if it fixes my whirlpool
Before you order the collars, remove or check your suspension rods. Some whirlpool rods don’t have the section to accommodate the collars. Keep me posted. I actually have a video already made dealing with the other rods. Keep an eye out for the video
Does this method work on samsung suspension rods.
In a week I have the real fix for Samsung and some whirlpool washers. I’m actually going to be selling the kit. The installation and instructions will be on Patreon. Free link to paying customers. The tension is based on a new suspension rod. So you will know exactly how much to tighten
Hi. Does the tub ring have screws in the 3 little holes that connect to the tub ?
I don’t think I understand what you’re asking. The tub ring is on top. It has nothing to do with the collars. Maybe send me a picture via email. Let me know how the repair goes. Thanks for watching
@@appliancerepairshorts Yes. My questions is about the ring not the collars or the rods. Found my ring out of place when opened. Thanks
@@appliancerepairshorts what's your email?
@@DidYouKnow... The tub ring is under is usually damaged when you have bad suspensions rods. You should be able to snap it back on
Howdy I've got a Samsung WA85F7S6DRA/SA 8.5 kg washing machine. Do you know if collars would work and what size to use? I had an idea to try some hose clamps but where the tightening screw bulges out might cause issues. Doesn't really matter, machine is unusable in its current state.
I have a video uploaded, but I haven’t released it yet. I have the solution for the Samsung. No, the collars will not work. The only way it will, you have to install it on the washer
@@appliancerepairshorts Thank you for the reply, if you can post the video would be awesome🙂
@@appliancerepairshorts Found a different solution. Had some fly screen spline (rubber that holds fly screen in place) after replacing my fly screens. Is cheap to buy as well (got the idea from people that have used bungie straps). Used a half hitch to attach to bottom of each rod (this gives two pieces of cord, made them the same length) pulled nice and tight so won't slip off, put a collar above this to stop weight of drum filled with water pushing it off. May have been easier to secure to bottom of drum where rod goes or make some brackets out of metal or wood with holes on edges to easily tie to. Then wrapped eight times around rod, was able to secure at top by going up and around each rod and tying off with a further number of double half hitch knots (did four). Looped around again with a further four half hitches, until no cord is left over. So far, this solution has done around fifteen loads of washing without issue.

How about using a zip tie?
Why would you want to use that? You have to think, how heavy do you think wet clothes are. Also how are you able to apply the proper force / tension on the rods? With the collar, you can always increase your level of firmness. The collars are cheap. Thanks for watching. I have a fix for Samsung washers as well

Why not just pop a tiny hole in the cup that holds the shock oil and refill it with some new oil? Maybe some hobby grade rc shock oil could work.
I have tried it. It is a grease. The problem is a lack of lubrication, but absorption or damper. The collar is an excellent fix. Also you can adjust it as it is needed

Metal against plastic want work for long, put a small O ring between the metal an O ring
The collars are actually pretty well established. I’m a tech and have used them for a while before sharing. The reason why it is so effective is, you can increase the tension. Overtime as you lose tension, you can snug it up. As for your other comment concerning metal against plastic. The collars are against plastic. Just like the suspension rods have plastic on it. The O- ring idea might work, but how do you check the level of resistance. You can’t. I have tried different types. The collars are the best. Thanks for your input

Totally unnecessary
Mine doesn’t have the tips. If I shorten it a little like the other guy you think it would act better? I moved the rods around and it doesn’t jump around as much.
I actually doing a video on the ones without the tips. Also you can open them up and use a piece of rubber to slow the damper

What size?
Are the rods all the same size?
@@jplafoot They will vary depending on your model number. If yours doesn’t have the nipple at the top, the collars will not work.
@@appliancerepairshorts ok thanks
How long do they last? Anyone?
Long time if you . You always can increase the stiffness. Usually 4 years then if you need more stiffness, you tighten them up
clamp name please ??
Collars the name and links are in the description. Thanks for watching
He is using a split collar clamp. Probably 1" size.
1/4” collar. Link in the description
@@appliancerepairshorts Thank you!
I hope I have not asked this already, but what about GE rods that have the long point in the cup but no foam.
I have a video of them on GE, but at the bottom. Basically it is lifting the tub up from grinding. What’s going on with the GE?
@@appliancerepairshortsSorry just now seeing this response.
I have no idea what the problem was. It has been a while since I have really worked on any appliances.
I have watched this video a few times and wondered if it was a GE with no foam you were fixing.
I had ordered some double split clamps probably after watching this but lost them.
Just got some more in I had intended to try on a Kenmore that shakes badly with clothes in it but spins quietly with no clothes in it.
When I push down on the agitator and turn it loose, it seems to be very little if any actual bounce.
Starting to wonder if it needs scrub pads.
Just put some collars on the Kenmore washer my friend needed fixed.
I had to tighten them a little tighter than 2 quarters would fit.
Have to wait to get a load of clothes to put in it to try it out.
I wish I had some dampening grease to use but couldn’t find any I trusted locally, so I decided to try this fix.
Might go to thrift store or yard sale to get some clothes just to test washers and dryers with.
I had some but let them get away a long time ago. I assume I let them go with a washer it dryer I sold to someone.
part number of those clamps

This does not fix the shaking side to side, only helps with up and down.
The Whirlpool washer doesn’t have anything to stop it for going side to side. At one point they had little springs, but offers no support.GE washers utilize the rubber dampening straps. The suspension rods when they are working correctly, it stop the bouncing around as well. Maybe if Whirlpool had something like GE, the rods would last longer
Why not put an small skinny O ring between the foam and rod 🤨
I thought I replied to you already. The collars are very effective and they can be adjusted as needed. They are cheap and easy to work with. I have tried so many different types. I have been using the collars for some years now.
Those are pretty pricey figured they'd be 2 bucks tops
Try Ace they are $9 each. That is pennies in comparison to a service call parts and labor.
Changed the shocks new ones it still bounces. This machine is junk Maytag has been xd off the list of appliances to buy.
Funny I was just responding to comments. What brand did you get? If you got Amazon brand, you got defective one-100% return them or put the collar on and call it a day. Keep me posted
Their the exact ones that came off of the machine they don’t have the tip to put the collar on it
Do you think the tub could be bent again. It has a ten year warranty but would i have to pay for a service call.
How many cycles to failure with the retrofitted steel collars?????
I've gotten 4 years and going on these repairs. If it shakes again, you can tighten them up and they're good to go. Thanks for watching!
@@appliancerepairshorts Do you understand what a failure is? When the retrofited steel collars loosen up, Each time They loosen up, It is A failure. That's why you repair Is unacceptable. Now, if you could come up with a way to retrofitting still color that would provide for additional years of use of the machine at three times per week without tightening up the collars, Only then would you have an acceptable repair. In the meantime what you are proposing simply present more problems. It's just that the average person viewing your videos doesn't have the training knowledge, experience and education to understand that The repair you are proposing is unacceptable. Perhaps you can come up with a better idea???
@@frankie7508 what are you trying to say? Here is deal, I have been using the collars for years before I started showing it. Whirlpool suspension rods are the failure. The collar fixes it. Imagine if parts could be tightened up without replacing? Wow! When your washer starts bouncing is it the washer failing or the suspension rods? What is cheaper new whirlpool rods or cheap and effective collars? If you need more explanation of how it works, let me know. Also, who said anything about it coming loose? I mentioned when the washer starts to wear and loosen up-as in the friction point of the original failure. Yes you can snug up the collars. Thanks for watching
@@appliancerepairshorts A band aid over an infection does not fix anything.
@@frankie7508 man I have explained all I can. They don’t loosen up. You probably didn’t do it properly. They are cheap. Buy new ones and start over.
What's the idea of wearing gloves while you work? I see a lot of millennials wearing dainty little gloves while they work. I've hardly ever seen older generations (Boomers and X) wear gloves while they work. What's up with that? If you're afraid of getting your little paddies all dirty they make this stuff called Go Jo that'll get your hands clean as a whistle. It's even got lanolin in it to keep millennials hands soft and supple. Try it, you'll like it! BTW I like the attack on the suspension rods with the new hold-its. I would have bought them If'n I saw this vid first. New rods with burn a $100 bill right out of your pocket. Keep up the good work!
lol you made me laugh out loud. So I started wearing gloves when I work on anything electrical. In fact I was deep in a dryer and the customer said, “ it is still plugged in you know “ I was impressed because I totally forgot to unplug. I do notice that customers like it. Plus if my nails are not perfect, you can’t tell lol. Appreciate your compliment. Also I don’t mind getting dirty lol
I wear gloves on most tasks these days, whether it's wrenching or squeezing hands into tight areas, supple hands ain't got nothing to do with it, older people have thinner skin and being on blood thinners only makes it worse...the slightest scratch or abrasion and the blood flows!
Most people don't know that Haire company in China,has taken over most brands, like Maytag, I guarantee they are junk.! The worst part is they don't tell you the Chinese now owns them and kept the name. To m that's false advertising and crooked. Look it up..peck
I’m pretty up to date, I know a company supply both whirlpool and GE, but as far as I know, they are separate. Whirlpool is owned by a few other share holders. Maybe you can share so info
This will not work. The plastic will wear away because it's rubbing on the metal shaft and it will just become loose again right away. The problem is actually that the Springs have become somewhat compressed and they are also weak because they have lost their strength or their Spring Steel. The only real solution is to replace them.
Thanks for your reply. I've been doing this repair for over 5 years now and haven't had any issues with any of those repairs. I've had many people that I've guided to do this repair as well and have had their springs going on 3-4 years and counting.
The issue is not the spring, it's the damper. The difference between the spring and the damper is that the spring holds the weight and the damper controls the bounce. Have you tried this repair? If it did not work for you, you may not have placed the collars correctly or followed the size guide.
It works, I’ve done it. Almost bought a new machine.
Nope
Nope? Explain what happened.
I found the capsule that has foam is just to greasy the rod the little round disk above that wears through the cap I added just a piece of cloth so it wouldn't slip through the cap now it's all better
@@edjarman807 yeah you can. Originally I used rubber to wrap. Imagine a straw like rubber. Cut it and wrap the rods. Didn’t do so well. Reason being you can’t adjust it. . Been doing this repair for a few years. Later 2-3 years if it acts up, you can tighten it up. Appreciate your feedback
What size collar
