You literally have a video concerning everything about a washing machine! They are all complete, accurate and incredibly interesting. By watching your videos I have had the confidence to fix my whirlpool washer from 1998. I was able to fix it with your help! Thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot, saved a ton of money and gained a lot of confidence. 🙏

that was one off the best tutarial videos ive seen

I have watched almost all your videos on repairing the whirlpool top loaders. You have covered almost everything which is an amazing resource for me as a laundromat manager. One of the things that I have not seen is a video about replacing the seals in the drive shaft, I watched the replacing seals and bearings in the support shaft, and used things I learned from that video to make the process easier for the drive shaft. I would love for you to make a video specifically about the drive shaft for any insider tips to make the process even easier.

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful in helping me understand what’s wrong with my washer.

This is overkill, just to change the brakes. You folks only have to remove the agitator, flip it over and remove the hoses, 3 bolts then pull the shaft, motor and transmission at the same time. very helpful video, lots of helpful details, thank you for helping others.

​@@WeatherNut27if you're just changing the brakes or clutch you don't have to remove 90% of that stuff. If you remove the clip from the agitator you can slide the entire shaft out with the motor and everything. This is a very helpful video, because it shows you everything, however you do not have to remove everything

Thank you! Thank you! so much for this video. My washer wasn't spinning, and after replacing the clutch, it still wasn't spinning. After searching the web and various forums, it looked like I needed to replace the entire basket drive assembly which is over $100. At this point I despaired thinking that my washer's time had come to an end. Then I stumbled across this video and realized that I could just buy the brake shoes and save a bundle! Woohoo! I would add however, that I don't believe you need to remove the drive shaft to replace the shoes. I will certainly be trying to replace the shoes with the drive shaft in place. Thanks to APP for helping us DIYers keeping these old but reliable appliances working!

I always tilt the machine forward and remove the gearbox , motor and pump as an assembly after removing the wires and hoses to the pump. Looks like changing the brakes would be easy at that point.

I think our brakes have just gone out. It's clunking to an abrupt stop at end of spin cycle. Looks like a lot of fun. Lol. but you did a great job of explaining what needs to be done. Thank you. Just got to get the parts and get it done.

Well done video. Nice step by step instructions and I work on washers and dryers.

Great video. You make it look easy. I need to repair mine and hopefully I don't have to order more parts? I ran a service truck and did all kinds of repair for 20 years, including repair of Continental H-20 commercial washing machines, and believe me this looks easy compared to some! I love how well thought out the build of these machines are. Well done. I wish the dairy's equipment rooms were done like this repair room!

I just used an air hammer didn't have a spanner wrench I have mine all apart and the drive block is stuck inside the tube I didn't realize it will come out thanks for the detailed video it helped me a lot

Thanks a lot Matt, its a great help to many

Great video! The spanner wrench is a must have tool to remove the spanner nut. Even with penetrating oil and rubber mallet, the tub would not come free of the drive block. Removed the transmission and then tapped on the top of the drive block to free tub. Hardest part is getting tub out. After that quick and easy repair. Tub and drive block had built up gunk so plan some time to clean.

What do you call that spring behind the brake and how do you know when it needs to be replaced. Like, what are some symptoms ?.

that was perfect. thank you so much

Thanks for your help

My direct-drive Kenmore 500 washer makes a "squeegee-like sound" every time the brakes engage at the end of a spin cycle. Is this normal? Other than that sound, the brakes do a fine job of stopping the rotation of the inner tub in less than 3 seconds.

So how fast or slow should the drum stop after spin to know if the brakes are working properly?

If the spin tube seems stuck, how do you get it out, I have done everything as directed but it won't come out, it moves about one in, I have a Kenmroe elite, I need to replace the brakes.

Also you can use long pointy pliers to put the bolt in while the agitator is sitting down on the tub.

I have a really great whirlpool built in 89 gave me no trouble until last week.. it had a burning smell..and it wont spin,, ok one youtube vid said its the coupling or the clutch .. i bought both and replaced both and those parts were fine.. no reason to replace them but i did anyway.. replaced the agitator dogs too.. put it back together and it still wouldnt spin and had the burning smell again ( not the motor) i assume its the brake system and it wont unlock.. do you have an idea why the brakes would lock on this whirlpool when everything else is working properly ?

QUE BUEN EXPLICADO

buen video

There’s also a hack fix if your washer to stopping too fast to avoid removing everything. Remove the outer shell and tilt the washer back against the wall so you can see underneath where the brake shoe and drum is. Watch this video to get an idea where the brake shoe is. Apply some high temp silicone between the drum and brake shoe. You can rotate tub some so you see the spring which will give you enough space to use a flat blade screwdriver to apply some silicone to the metal outer drum. Just apply a little. Also be sure to use silicone instead of grease or oil. I’ve heard those will eventually decay the rubber on the brake show more.

Thanks for the info

I have replaced both the couple and the clutch brake. My washer still only makes the noise of spinning but does not budge.

That liquid sound may just be from the balance ring, which is about half full of fluid to help balance a washer as it moves. As the load shifts during wash, the load may become more concentrated on one side of the basket. The fluid in the balance ring shifts to the opposite side of the load to help offset the weight of the load and keep the rotation of the basket stable.

Thanks for the vid, what if one of the wires on top of the motor is shorting? The washer won't drain and stops after a few seconds on some speeds. I couldn't find any obstructions and the pump turns fine. I replaced the gear case & motor coupler, but it is still doing the same thing. And then I noticed one of the wires on top of the motor is black and melted at the connection. Can I just replace the wire connection or is something else causing the motor to overheat? The brakes and clutch look ok to me.

@@pagevpetty We've found that there is a problem with the neutral wire (white wire) connection at the junction near the water solenoids that also feed the motor. The simple fix is to buy 3 feet of 16 gauge white thhn wire and 2 trailer quick connects and connect one end to the white wire to the white wire near where the power is coming in and the other end to the white wire running to the motor. And now you will also have to add a patch wire to any of those wires that got burnt. Bend the wires near that area and look for stiff spots where the copper melted. Can't imagine how many have tried replacing the motor with out success. The tell tail sign is that the motor will just hum while drawing twice as much electrical current. We now just spend the $2 and add the jumper....

Need help... I did the clutch repair on a LSR7010pq1. The center shaft was corroded and would not come out. Took a lot of effort, hammering and time but I got it out. I removed the inner spin basket thinking it would help me get the shaft out. Wrong. The drive block is stuck in the basket and no amount of hammering with a 4lb mallet will set it free. Replaced clutch and reassembled without issue. The drive block was very difficult to tighten and get it to lock on the shaft. But I got it tight. Now when empty, Low spin is fine but in high spin it goes violently out of balance. I checked the suspension components and they are all in tact. The Spin basket remained attached to the shaft after several tests. Not sure what went wrong. I think it is related to the drive block or the basket. What confuses me is that it is fine on low spin. I am going to run it without the Spin basket to see what happens. Any Ideas what my problem is ?

Hello there, first of all great video, as many I've watched from you. My question is, when you removed the basket drive assembly ~10:17 you said you only needed to turn it counter clockwise and pull, but in my washer though it turns counter clockwise I can't pull it off. It there a way to know what can be holding it? Is there a part a area in which I can add some lubricant or penetrating oil to loosen it without damaging anything else?

You can try to oil the clutch shoes. This will allow the basket to slip to a stop. Clutch shoes can get sticky with age. If you have a tube Oiler it is possible to able oil the clutch pads from the bottom by tilting the machine approximately 45 degrees back to the wall. No disassembly is required this way,

i tried getting that brake tube off, and i saw the brake assembly. my machine had no short tube. i replaced the clutch assembly the other day. put it back on the transmission, then i changed the motor coupler. tried pushing up and counter-clockwise, as you did, but she didn't give an inch. after this, i replaced the balance ring. since i had not yet spent what the stores were asking for heavy duty maytag washers and dryers, i decided to try to fix/find the problem. the motor, transmission, water pump, capacitor, water level float---checked just about everything but my butt hole. agitator, drain, fill, worked on all cycles. nevertheless, it would not spin the clothes, even though it would pour rinses water in the spin cycle. after cycle, the tub would drain. the anger begin to really rise up in me, so i took everything apart, again. checked my work, and put the washer back together. now there is no sound on spin, and the machine does nothing but a slight hum on all cycles.checked agitator, dissembled it. replaced agit-digits. let water disconnected, but turned current on, in order to see what was then occurring. same thing. faint hum everywhere, except the silent spin. some of these vids suggested that a no spin zone might possibly be due to switch lid. 5 min fix, easy, no problem, no expense, use zip ties---yeah. after a rather severe beating, kicking, screaming, and crying session on the old girl, i set out to do these alleged easy fixes. over 8 hours later, i had found all 3 of the lid switches. this washer bore a resemblance to the aftermath of the titanic. i finally traced and pulled wires and little boxes, none of whom that favored anything on you-tube. i happened to have unhooked the one that worked, before we all began rewearing our underwear, both inside and out---same for socks. some man suggested a staple put in the switch would bypass the program, and spin would work. another lady told that i could take a guess and cut the plastic clip, that traced to the lid. my wires are green, brown and white---i think. though i haven't chosen to do this yet, i guess it is something like hot wiring. i don't know why it quit all cycles. should i put the 2 wires together w/ one of those electrical caps? i have a heavy duty kenmore, if that means anything. inside, looks as if 3m company has a warehouse on premises. i didn't have that much tape, when i had worms.

I usually pull it off with the transmission too. However, removing it makes it easier to manipulate the transmission as it's quite awkward and heavy as a unit. But then, reinstalling the motor with a new coupler, you need to spend several minutes aligning the coupling, since it's a good tight fit. In the video, the coupler was worn, the pins thus are looser, so installing the motor is much easier.

You could have put the motor and pump when it was laying down; it is easier for me.
