- So many support rods changed and still have an out of balance issue. Today I did a completer rod and hub change. I am so dramatic!
VERY GOOD REPAIR, thanks for the humor and the share.
Thank YOU!!
Thank you for the help man. Thank you so much for taking your time and making it possible for everyone and myself to save money and fix our own machine.
Fantastic! I had fun.
So glad you happened to post this video today. I just installed the kit from Ben's Appliance yesterday, but it made the problem even worse. Turns out the first piece wasn't seated well enough--it was a little difficult to see in his video what exactly needs to line up. Once I pounded it in there (took a surprising amount of force), it was much better.
AWESOME!!! I am SO happy it worked!
I could drink a few beers with this guy.
LoL. The beer is off camera....lololol.
Replaced with OEM springs.final spin basket jumps around.why?

I was so frustrated with our Whirlpool top loader going out of balance i almost threw it away and bought new. After reviewing a couple of your videos I was able to determine it was the suspension rods. I paid attention and purchased factory direct items. I did most of the repair and my husband placed the new rods in. The best part of this video was the use of the old rod to pull up the new one. I was able to wash my first load immediately following with NO out of balance issues. I am so much happier and no longer yelling obscenities at the machine.
LOL, You are very welcome. Maybe you and your washer can make up. lol.
The first production from this washer came with This hub
And they replaced with the plastic ones.. Good video..
Talk about funny and helpful. Love this
Thanks Marie!
Hi rich went to your shop today , no more washers dryers where u go
Sorry, retired. Still do some on the side. Internet killed the parts business.
@richardkoon5544 great to know keep in touch please
I also feel your pain, two knee replacements, and the left one done again
Oh Lord.
Wow I ordered my suspension rods on Amazon after 4 week washer is banging around now I know why going to order OEM parts and start over and recalibrate when done lol thank you
Fantastic! I love your honesty. It should be much better. See you next RichTime. lol.
Did you replace them with OEM did it work ?
🚨this is an easy fix and most likely the cause for a washer jumping around. I replaced the springs and it still jumped. If when holding the outer tub lip and shaking the inner tub and there is any play or rocking back and forth, then this is the fix. MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE SHIM KIT. when you take off the plastic OEM hub and clean off the shaft, make sure you install the shim that will take the play out of the shaft to tub contact. I didn’t do this the first time and there was play after installing this part. Ben appliance sells the shim kit in three sizes when you order it. Mine was the middle one which was green that I had to install. Once I tapped that in between the tub and the shaft there was no play. I then installed the hub like in the video and there is no play. Had to order hub again because I couldn’t break the Loctite on the 1st one. My washer is working 100% now. I can’t stress it enough make sure you install a shim or it will still jump and have play even after it’s installing the hub fully. Depending how long you’ve been using your washer and letting it jump around will dictate how much of the tub has been worn away, which will require the shim size to be different. Use a thin flat surface and tap the shim around till flush. Don’t use a pointed object or screw driver as this will damage the shim.
Thank you Richard for your videos. I found out about my issue after you posted that one video saying “I’m not going to fix it” then you said “stop” and showed the hub fix. You are a life saver because while shopping for washers thinking there was no fix, you saved my family money with your video. 🙏 bless you sir. PS the new washers are all junk and feel like toys.
Good info. Thank you
Hey Richard, where to buy the humb assembly that screws on top of the transmission shaft?

😂😂😂 .. Bad News when you have to work on a laundry room so small that you can even move around or they have a mini storage and the litter box from the cats and clothes all over the place..
💪😄😁
i wait to get my new suspension rod to ship to me and decided to use the hammer to hit on the metal part on the old suspension rod and put everything all back together. I tested the washing machine it work pretty good. Now my new suspenion rod is just hang out there in case I need to use it.
Need some advice :My problem with my Maytag bravos, was that the clothes were still wet after the cycle , did some research and found out the pulsator, was loose and hub needed replacing. Replaced the hub with a metal one from Ben’s video. Worked for afew months . And then same problem. When I checked the metal hub the inside was completely smooth and bits of metal were on the shaft, ? So I still try to fix or just get a new washer altogether?
Hey replaced suspension rods on my Samsung washer still banging though husband wants to blow it up with explosives 😢 any advice?
Love ur videos friend haha ty for your help
Thanks! My pleasure.
I used three 2x4 2 small 1 the legnth of inner tub all put together and a scissor jack to pop tub off transmission
Hi. Maytag centennial mvwc565fw2…followed repair to replace plastic hub with metal. Definitely fixed the shaking and noise but immediately after repair there is a clicking noise about every second during the wash and rinse cycles when agatating. Do you think we should redo it? Any ideas why it would be clicking after repair. Thank you.
Clicks when the agitator / pulsater moves? Hmmm.
Yes. Visually inspected the agitator and seems fine. I think I put the agitator bolt on way too tight after repair. Did not put on as tight after reinstalling after inspecting but still clicks. Wonder if the agitator is somehow damaged from putting bolt on too hard.
@@MelissaJohnGross This is hard to diagnose. If, you loosen the agitator and the sound is still present, I'd start looking underneath the machine.
Thank you
I tried this but the agitator plate don't want to come off. Any other recommendation?
The number one method to get that wash plate off is the air wedge jacks. I can literally have it off in about 5 minutes. No other methods would work and I got tired after about 5 hours 😂 best 20$ I ever spent!
I've tried the strap under the wash plate. Soaked the splines with WD-40 or PB Blaster. Even tried scalding hot water. Sometimes, it works, sometimes not. I've tried air wedges. They work sometimes. I usually wind up breaking the washplate off the internal metal hub, cutting three slots into the hub vertically and across the top with a Dremel tool, and then splitting the hub with a chisel to remove it. Remove the old drive hub. Clean the splines with a wire brush. Apply Never-Seize to the splines for the drive hub and wash plate before you reassemble.
Great video! I changed the rods in my laundry machine but the new ones are slighltly shorter than the original ones? Now it doesnt bang while it spins, but it does sometimes when its washing. What do you think it may be the cause?
LARGE Load?
That’s what I thought, when we wash blankets or several sheets it does make sounds. Do you think I should install the ones with the correct size? Thanks in advance!
@@McTzt Slightly shorter. I don't think that would do it. Hmmmm. I'm at a loss.
No worries, thanks a lot! 😃
I have a Maytag with an agitator model MVWB765FC3 that goes crazy then stops everytime at exactly 36 minutes so is this fix applicable to an agitator maytag? If I rearrange clothes it'll work sometimes & sometimes not. I decide to take a load outside & ring everything out once then put back into finish & everytime I do that the load will finish just fine. But I can't get all of the water out of the tub even when I turn it to drain & spin??
I checked the rods & they look good. However, I noticed that there's a lot of water in the bottom everytime after I wash a load. I will admit that a while back while washing a comforter I added a few extra gallons of water to a load because it wouldn't fill up deep like it usually does so I'm assuming that extra water is from what I added, byr it seems like it should drain out anyways? Please make suggestions!
Unfortunately, you machine is different than this one. I can't put my finger on the problem.
Exactlyy.same problem! 36 minutes and it sounds like thunder in my house! 😢 It's only 4 years old and I've already had to replace the belt that makes the tub turn.
You need double knee pants and insert Carhartt knee pad inserts in slots. Carhartt brand slides in easier. Other brands cut seems slightly to insert pads.
Wait, What!? THANK YOU! I'll look for them right now. OOOOch. They hurt.
I have Amana washer that is banging at end of cycle a shaking like crazy I did change the rods with Amazon but now I will send them back any advise. ?
It is made by Whirlpool. OEM's are all I use.
@@richardkoon5544 ok I’m try them if this don’t work she is going out the door 😂
Yall acting like yall don’t see that noose in the left corner
On the other side of the door "was" my video studio. We used that for an old western movie we were shooting. The scene was deleted because of my rated "G" guide line. It was used as a tourniquet to get rid of a headache.
Question I own a Whirlpool WDW5000DW2. When I google the part number w10324651 several appear on Amazon. I cannot find one that my washer model is listed. Can you help?
If your model is a WTW5000dw2 , it will work. Double check the model number for WTW not WDW. 😃
@@richardkoon5544
I Googled "Whirlpool model #WTW5000DW1 improved metal hub", and another time Googled the part # you give in your "I made a huge mistake" video, the one attempt where I Googled the washer model # along with "improved metal hub" one of the sites I clicked on that was in the drop down had an automatic thing on the screen (like AutoZone's website that says whether or not the part you're looking at fits your car) that said "This part does not work with your Whirlpool washer model #WTW5000DW0" (it put a 0 at the end automatically instead of the number 1 which I'd entered which probably doesn't mean anything anyway it's probably a color code or something), yet it sure does look exactly like the kit you installed in the other "I made a huge mistake" video and the washer in that video looks EXACTLY like the one I'd like to get fixed.
Also I found a site with that kit that has a screen that says "Fits these models" that shows at least 60 or 70 different model number's but not mine, which once again is the same exact washing machine from your other video, I can't find a site selling that part that I can confirm that it works with mine, WHICH ONCE AGAIN I THE SAME EXACT WASHER THAT'S IN YOUR OTHER VIDEO THAT YOU PUT THE KIT IN, so my question is WILL IT FIT MINE OR NOT!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@dukecraig2402 I looked up your model number and the parts list only suggests the plastic hub. It will not list that you can use the metal one. It is a recommendation only by seasoned technicians. Every plastic hub assembly is replaced by the metal one in my shop. I should work fine.
those springs look like they dont do shit lol. id put the rubber straps on they put on the maytag coin op machine
I purchased a new washer instead of fixing
😢crazy old man jaja
Love it.
First, replace your springs, then with the lid still off add 1 and a 1/2 inch Styrofoam between the body and the tub. Your welcome
Example of ...Prob dont make vids while on your meds for knee surgery.
I'm sayin. You'll get there one day. lol.
Once again a comedian. I hope people don't take him seriously. Just get a reliable washing machine that don't have all these problems. They are serious junks. All of them. I had one and got a lg and still the working machine today.
Using bartenders friend helps.
LMAO
Dont do drugs kids
lol.
Trying to figure out if that kit works with my washer model # is driving me to doing them.
Keep your day job you wouldn't make it as a comedian
