Thanks. My washer is getting repaired and this was what they put was wrong with it. I wanted to see what it was and how it was done... This was alot of work. Great video.

[@RG-gt8fs]

Thanks for this. I have a Maytag that the bearings are howling when it goes into spin. Washer is just under 5 years old. My old Kenmore lasted 30 years. All new appliances are disposable garbage now.

[@patriciamariemitchel]

I would say, stick with Whirlpool if they hadn't bought out Maytag. I saw a new One n Done at Lowe's yesterday for 2600 dollars. It eats its own exhaust. 👀 That's going to be a nightmare on many levels. 👀☺️

[@richardthompson6366]

Kenmore had the best stuff, my Kenmore washer and dryer are around 20 yrs old and have only had minor issues.

[@JohanSalvattore]

Maytag is usually decent, mine is about 10 years old and the teeth on the gear case are stripped

[@coolrobuxgaming]

@@JohanSalvattoreWhat is the model number on your washer?

[@coolrobuxgaming]

make a video of your washer in the spin cycle I want to hear what the bearings sound like

[@sarahjeannesays9605]

Thank you! I, a 42 year old women, was able to replace this myself!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@sogsamson]

Excellent video. No bottle jack, so I used a bearing puller as a strong back to push the basket out.

[@appliancepartspros]

Thank you! Glad you were able to fix your issue! If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@tubesockets120v]

I've had all the things you mention go bad with my Whirlpool washer in 7 years.

[@ElkEars]

Perfect video. Thank you!

[@spareamintz8708]

Mine is just the shaft is damaged but so far it looks like I have to change this whole gearcase. I have a Whirlpool WTW5000DW2

[@appliancepartspros]

Unfortunately, Whirlpool doesn't sell the shaft as a standalone part. It is part of the gearcase assembly.

[@spareamintz8708]

@@appliancepartspros I figured so 😔

[@DanWebster]

I Love this video shows how to replace dang near everything on the machine. Have you got a video on replacing the controls and lid switch along with diagnostics? Thanks -pawpaw

[@user-tn9is8lz6l]

I am installing the same washer gear case and i will like to know if you have to grease the tub seal or its already with grease. the washer gear case had the tub seal already installed so i have to grease it or not. tk

[@andyb1185]

17:08 shows a side by side of new and old gear box. New box on left has a silver metal sleeve over the seal on the shaft. The new gear box that I ordered has this as well. Does this metal sleeve stay on the seal as you have shown during your install or should it be removed before installing the gearbox?

[@appliancepartspros]

You would not remove the sleeve, you will install the part the way it comes.

[@andyb1185]

​@@appliancepartsprosthat is great news as that is how I put it together, just waiting for the thread locker to cure

[@andyb1185]

​@@appliancepartspros​@appliancepartspros thank you! Your videos have helped me to hopefully have this washer fully repaired. Are you aware of any instances of water becoming trapped in the sonic-welded plastic top of the wash drum? I had that issue with mine, drilled 8 1/4" holes and tipped it over a utility sink where it drained for a solid 2 minutes. Curious if this could have contributed to premature failure of the tub seal and transmission shaft bearing from being off balance for so long

[@appliancepartspros]

On some models there is liquid in that tub ring to help balance the basket.

[@dylanowens3173]

One the most important part of how use car jack to get to inner tub off isn't shown. I used a simple spin car jack , with a strap hold down on another block of wood, a screw driver to spin the jack. The other piece of wood needs to be on the gear case drive shaft so the jack pushes the tub off.

[@tubesockets120v]

My four bolt 🔩 holes on the gear tranny don't sit flush with the plastic washer tub holes. The back ones are farther away. Is this normal?

[@SweetMami33]

How did you keep the tub still while you were putting the gear case in?

[@PinkAlmonds22]

How much space should be between the gear case and the basket after tightening the bolts?

[@KINGRG1]

Is it necessary to remove the basket in order to do the repair? I’m trying to figure a legitimate reason why but it seems like it’s not necessary when I watched the entire video.

[@appliancepartspros]

Our videos are to give you a general idea on how to do the repair. If you are able to remove the gear case without having to remove the basket that is good. If you want to provide your model number we can look into this for you.

You are very welcome!

[@milomordhorst8129]

Can these gear cases be rebuilt? IE: just replace bearings?

[@coolrobuxgaming]

Make video of washer spinning I want to hear what it sounds like

[@christopherswenson8167]

The agitator bolt will not break free. Tried two people, one trying to keep it from spinning while the other wrenches. Just will not break free. Tried soaking with WD-40, still no luck. Anybody have suggestions. Am I just stuck not being able to move forward?

[@appliancepartspros]

Unfortunately, there isn't a trick to get that off. You can use a penetrating oil like rust buster and let it soak. Hopefully, it will penetrate enough for you to be able to get that out.

[@chamdeezy532]

Thank you!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome!

[@davidbrandel4128]

If the basket is thumping, is it ever the case that the screw on the agitator is loose?

[@appliancepartspros]

When is it making the thumping noise? What is the model number of your washer? Have you seen any error codes?

[@davidbrandel4128]

@@appliancepartspros I replaced the stabilizer rods and it still shakes a little during spin cycles but doesn’t walk across the floor.

[@stevedziedzic1203]

Why tf are steel shaft splines worn flush against a plastic/fiber drive hub?! Transmission Part is $160 + new drive hub $25 + ~$20 shipping = A $205 repair New washer is $514. This failed on my machine in 3 years. Expectation is another 3 years to repeat failure. A disposable washer. Annual cost = $171/yr to own this product ($14.50/month). Not a terrible cost, but factor in your time & labor too! Don't expect "10 years" Lol.

[@WV591]

just can't get the top off on whirlpool no hinge screws on the back and putty knife under front don't work.

[@SweetMami33]

Also the ring is bigger than the hole in the tub ...

[@adolfomonrreal8985]

I dropped a screw down the washer and had to take out the inner basket. using the piece of wood helped but my God did it suck lol

[@schuholzjohn3625]

One of the worst designed washers in history. Transmission is not service-able. transmission doesn't last. washer has bad lid lock system that's also not service-able. Control board on these washers fail consistently (used cheap capacitors) and also not service-able. washer was meant to buy and throw away. NOT ACCEPTABLE - never buy whirlpool again.

[@RG-gt8fs]

They are all disposable garbage now with plastic parts and nothing serviceable.
