thank you Josh Cobb
My Whirlpool washer WTW4900BW0 makes a rubbing noise when I spin it and it’s really loud like a jet taking off in the spin cycle
Bad bearings.
Excellent. Thank you!!
worked perfect!!!! thank you so much sir!!!!
I hope this helps my problem. One thing I noticed on your video and on my machine, at 3:00 you can see 2 clear cups hanging. One cup has a metal pin in it, and so does mine as well. Does that pin need to be put in the holes right above the clear cup. You will see it if you look, I wonder if that a more permanent solution to keep it in place
Do you think this could be the issue if I don’t have the “steam” version. Lost after a power outage. E1 F5 code.
Possible but you might be facing a different issue. You could try unplugging your machine and pushing the power button for 20 seconds. Then leave the machine unplugged for five minutes, plug it back in (after checking your breakers and the outlet and verifying they are good) and cross your fingers.
@@joshcobb4100 I did do all of that with no luck. The panel comes on but when I push the start/pause button it just dings over and over.
I just googled the code and it shows a door lock switch error. This sounds correct based off what you just said about trying to start it and it just beeping at you. Might be worth ordering a new door lock switch before you try a whole new panel or new washer.
@@joshcobb4100 ah ok. Do you think these are easy to replace on our own?
Will this same thing work if the drum has dropped completely? It was doing all the banging and dancing for a long time, and finally the drum is completely dropped to the front
The new kit will come with the hardware to hang the new shocks. Likely your old hardware busted and allowed the shock to come out of its hanging place.

Worked for me, much appreciated, thank you sir.
I have a question. I think my clutch, or splutch, assembly is bad. I replaced the shifter, after it stopped working with the horrible grinding sound when it tried to agitate. After replacing the shifter, i can get it to spin at low and high speed, but won't agitate and has the grind sound. But the teeth in the clutch don't really look bad, aside from a *slight* flattening at the tips of the gear teeth, and I don't have the typical ground off plastic particles. Is there a way to verify that it's not a transmission problem before i order the clutch, without opening the transmission? Or, does that just sound like a clutch issue, where it's not shifting properly/fully for some reason. It just doesn't look like the gear teeth are ground so severely that they wouldn't engage, to my untrained eye.
I would check the agitator plate, those can get stripped out and while the shaft is moving underneath it, the plate is just holding still. This will make a loud grinding noise.
@@joshcobb4100 I checked it. It's not stripped. The grinding only occurs when the agitator and shaft spins but the bowl is not spinning. Otherwise, high and low speed extraction spin works fine only agitate doesn't work. I'm starting to suspect something in transmission, but hate to pull it all apart. 😣 guess I need to just dive in.
@AarynMadchen you can’t pull the transmission apart, it’s stamped together. If you manage to drill out the stamped holes and try to pull it apart the keeper rings on the shaft are going to prevent you from taking it apart. You can do it, but it’s a three day ordeal and you’ll have to source the parts manually. unfortunately if you rule everything else out and it’s a transmission issue I personally would get a new washer or try to find a used washer with a good transmission. Did you check the components within the clutch system? The part the shift actuator actually shifts, it’s the pulley wheel and the little plastic three-piece spring loaded assembly.
@@joshcobb4100 yes. The plastic parts that I referred to as clutch or splutch. The gear teeth are a bit worn flat on top, not like totally ground out, but not sharp points. The original shifter was weak and not shifting completely. The new one works fine. I just didn't see ground pieces of plastic in the clutch assembly so I didn't replace it, but I guess I should have done that along with the new shifter. Just trying to save $40. I'm going to order a new one and hope that does the trick. I also didn't have any white lithium grease handy, so I didn't lube the clutch. That *may* have helped, but maybe those slightly flat gear teeth are the culprit. It kind of seems like a weak way to drive the machine...to depend on plastic gears...but I digress. Thanks again.
Anyway...it sounds more like plastic grinding than metal gears or bearings, so hopefully a new clutch is the answer, although I think I read somewhere that the transmission gears are plastic too. could be wrong about that, but it doesn't sound like something I want to do, based on your last reply.
It completely worked! Thank you so much for this video! You save me a lot of money and aggravation!
Awesome!!
My washer is banging just order the OEM suspension rods because ones of Amazon didn’t work I let you no how it went after I get the new ones in
Yes please do!
Which brand ?
Amana (whirlpool)
I would rather have an old school washing machine, they seem to last longer without any problems
This is 100% truth my friend.
Our washers have always been “bouncy” when I was a kid. I thought they were just loud😂😂 Good to know now lol
Amazing video. After removing the front cover, I realized it was the nut! It worked when I had it at home, then took it to the horse barn (for horse laundry) and it was making that horrible sound. Horses do not tolerate this noise. I had to transport it home and looked at everything. I cannot thank you enough for this useful video
E5f1 ???
Door won’t lock to start
Probably a bad lid lock. Although unplugging and holding the power button for 20 seconds is worth a try!!!
@@joshcobb4100 thanks so much it became a thorn in my side and niece gifted me a new one to arrive next week 🤗🤗🤗she loves her aunt!!!
Keeping you safe. Gonna put you down as fav technician for answering, most don’t.
I have been dealing with these error codes for last four months. Sometimes powering it off and on did trick. Other times I had to change cycle to quick wash. Sometimes I had to drain and spin just to complete the cycle. Finally called technician and got quote of $850 on top of $150 he charged for visit. Finally got my lazy ass off the couch and watched videos. Followed your instructions and just completed cleanup. Did not notice lot of green stuff around those golden areas but noticed some sticky stuff. Hard to get out. Turned on cycle and waiting for results . By the way I did break the front left cover while opening. If it works I can still live with broken cover. Will post results in an hour
Happy to report that first cycle ran through fine. Usually at the end of cycle , I get one or two or three error codes since this problem started. This time I did not see any error codes after first successful cycle. Started second cycle and going through fine. My wife thinks credit goes to you and her as she forwarded this video to me. I agree. Thank you Sir
How do you change the lid lock? I want to be able to look in while it is working.
Take out the 2 screws and the locking mech will be able to be removed and you can insert it like the lid is closed.
He never said that was a compressor starter;; that part you know exactly the name of the part😅😅
Ok! Not quite sure what you said but hey I'm glad you are having a good time :)
Excellent advice thank you. Keep going body.
Thanks! Will do!
I have a similar issue. When you say a strong magnet, what type of magnet did you use to move the plunger on the cold side once it was cleaned in vinegar? Is it a magnet we could get at the hardware store?
I used a strong earth magnet, the mountable kind with a hole in the middle. But this other video I did might be more helpful, check it out here kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXefy5Z6Y9fSibQ.html
Sir you are doing God’s work!!! Had to move my washing machine to the garage so I could paint the laundry room. After I moved it back it made that horrible scraping noise for 2 weeks until I ran across your video. Thank you so much 🎉
Awesome!!! Glad I could help!
I followed your instructions including under the speaker. I did not have much corrosion to start with but I cleaned abd scraped them all. Washer still won't turn on, but I can get the error code to show up by pressing the 3 button pattern. Any ideas on what I may need to do other than buy a new control panel? Thank you.
Unfortunately it sounds like you have done your due diligence....new control panel is probably what's next. Make sure you cover the new panels open area with some clear nail polish to keep this from happening again down the road with the new panel. Good luck!!
Tip: deep wata wash isnt that deep. But bulky sheets has the depest wata level. Bulky sheets wash has the water go to the door seal.
Good tip!
I had mine changed while the Samsung washer was still under warranty. Within 2 months (after warranty expired) the UB errors came back. This top load is crap. I regret buying Samsung.
Awesome!
POS fan just stripped apart on the shaft. So took the oscillating tool to it. I’ll pay the $13 to replace it
Been there a time or two.....
I replaced this and after a few weeks it started having the same issues
Gotta get OEM shocks...the super expensive ones.
What if these were replaced about 2 weeks ago but the washer is still constantly going off balance? Tried smaller loads, different settings, changed amount of soap, tried only cold water, nothing matters. Every size, temp, cycle, amount of soap or softener, it still goes off balance every load.
Gotta get OEM shocks...the super expensive ones.
That's another 4 something 😢 Wouldn't it be better to just buy a new Maytag for like 550? (Found one at Lowe's)
Mine is leaking water. Any suggestions?
So many possibilities unfortunately
Definitely make sure you have plenty of room. This repair does not work well with tight spaces
This is true lol
Friend you just saved me a new washing machine. Thank You!
I would but he dosent
Then how the hell do i know what parts to order?.
What is the model#. I bought the same. Used but no model #. Thanks .
I don't record the model numbers....run through them to fast to keep track.
Thank you Sir. Is there any reason why you didn’t check the continuity on the heating element
I probably did it off camera. You totally can tho, should measure about 9.5 - 10.5
@@joshcobb4100 thanks. Huge help. I checked the continuity (audible) on the heating element and that was it. One of the springs was broken. Saved me from buying a new dryer. Thank you for the content Sir.
Do your washer fill with water like a top loader would….. like clothes submerged in
Not really, looks like a low water usage when watching through the door, but it's a different method of washing then top loaders (the older style anyway)
Can u help. The bottom part works fine but top part not freezing food but it's cold....
Start by cleaning the coils behind and underneath the unit.
@joshcobb4100 Thank you I will check it out. I do this before I go buy one
Throwing it on the ground worked for me thanks man
I have this fridge and replacing the defrost timer fixed everything. If I wasn't able to fix the fridge, my lady was going to want to buy a new $1,800 refrigerator. Thanks for saving me some money.
Bros before.....wives. ;)
My Kenmore upright freezer is not staying cold. Light is on , fan is working but coils are not very cold . Any ideas for me ? I really do not want to but a new one if I don't have to.
Best to always start by cleaning the coils underneath and behind the unit. From there it's a process of eliminating the possible issues one by one.
Just used this video to fix my washer and impress my wife. Thanks! BTW, the piece on the bottom of my washer was white metal, so a lot easier to spot.
Then my job here is done ;)
THANKS as a recent widow after 55 yrs it is hard learning to do this stuff myself...
Well good on you for learning and getting out there and getting after it! Good job!
Thank you so much for this video. I unplugged for 5 minutes as suggested in other videos. When I plugged back in it still had the error codes blinking but I followed your steps to reset and now it's working fine. If I get the codes again I'll take apart as in your video and clean and coat the contacts. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the video. Question. I noticed that there is a spring attached to one my suspension rods and the drum?? Is that correct or needs to be unattached?? It’s only attached to the front right. Washer shakes really bad at the beginning of each rinse cycle. Thank you.
I have found those springs to be worthless. If they are present I leave them, unless it looks like someone added it and it's not supposed to be there. Then I'll remove it.
I added the new lid lock and lock relay. Will this method still be the same for that?
I'm a woman and I did this with Jesus and it's successful.😅.
Thanks for the info. I just got the same running boards for my daughters 2020 Ridgeline. I'm going to go to Lowes now and upgrade the bolts, clean out the holes with WD40 and use some Locktite.
Hello. I am still troubleshooting my Amana. It is agitating on the “fill sensing” mode. I have went thru several diagnostic tests, but no error codes are showing up. I replaced the water level switch, but still no luck. Do you have any idea what I should do at this point? 😭😔
Either the Capacitor is starting to fail or the motor is going, in the sensing, it spun up extremly slowly, even with heavy loads it should still spin faster than it did, i think its a bad cap, or cap starting to fail, or motor is starting to fail
How do I get the top piece separated if the clips are plastic? Don’t want to break them while trying to access the control panel.
My question is why you only change the front two rods and not back ones?
