Most suspension rods need to be changed if your washer is out of balance.
BUT...check this out on how to check your washer and repair your washer if the rods DON'T fix it.

I made my own tight washers out of auto grade tubing and it works like a champ. I straightened the ends of the rods so I could slide everything off and back on, then bent them back to where they belonged. Thank you so much.

Great video. I have replaced suspension rods (first) then this metal part replacement. One of the rods was bent and I wonder if the machine damage the new rod(s) before I replaced the metal drive part shown in this video. I did do calibration. Unsure of what to do now.....first load (jeans) ran fine. Next (small) load was colors but REALLY BAD OUT OF BALANCE situation had me crying again. I am wishing to return to the old technology that lasted for years, easier to fix and not such a mystery. Suggestions? Recheck suspension rods? Maybe open the backside of machine and look for something obvious. Last machine lasted 30 years and easy to fix. This POS is less than 5.......

I would like to thank this guy here. My Samsung washer and I have been fighting each other for about 5 years now. True story. I will not let it beat me. When I 1st starting having issues, I replaced the rods. Lasted a little bit then came back. I then replaced the hall/ vibration sensor. It lasted a little bit but came back. I drilled the balance ring out. It lasted a little bit, but came back. I replaced the balance ring, again lasted a bit but came back. This last time I replaced the rods again and the issue was even worse than before. It was just bouncing all over. So after seeing this video, I took apart the older set of rods, removed the foam and replaced it with cut sections of cork tape. The kind that is used on heater boxes in cars. (I’ve had a roll for about 20yrs) I’ve since been able to wash everything from light socks, 8 heavy towels to bed comforters. I have had zero issues. Thanks Again!!!!

I always thought about getting a slotted sleeve, drilling out the tub and friction fitting it in, but for the cost to have the part machined would only be slightly cheaper than a new tub which is only slightly cheaper than a new whirlpool washer. That metal coupler looks like it works a treat.

I had my suspicion of the agitator area. The banging did some what ease off but it still continued only liter. The machine also kept adding time to the final load at around 16 mins left then it would jump back to 22 min and this is after the rods were changed. I’m going to look into the agitator now. Thank you! If you have any further tips I would be much appreciative. Thanks again.

The new metal part requires a drip of thread locker to keep the threads from loosening up. It's all fine and dandy but it will keep you from swapping out the metal part again. However, 20 years sound sweet than having to change the entire washer every 5 years. So use as much thread locker as you want. Enjoy another 20 years washer afterwards.

I haven't replaced the rods yet but they are on order. The video doesnt show close detail on the worn splines so maybe I missed something. Before finding out about the new part Ben's video is about why wouldn't you just replace it with the orignal plastic or nylon one? I got to the point with mine where I needed to take the clip off but it's wouldn't move for me and I didn't want to break it. At the time I could not find a video about that but maybe my search term was too specific, I'll try again. When my new rods get here I am going to examine them and measure them to compare to the worn ones. I want to know why they wear out and why people don't rebuild them.

Thanks I'll watch it later. On the topic of the new coupler part I think I understand now why the metal one instead of the plastic one. The metal one has a jam fit I would call it. Instead of threading on it gets a compression fit.

​@@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass The part with the splits in it is called a collet, many rotary tools that have a nut you tighten down to hold ⅛" shank rotary stones, flies, sanding pads etc etc work that way, think Dremel tool, they have a collet style chuck to hold the different tool bits you can put in them, yes, it works by compressing, the part with the splits in it has a bevel on it's outside and is forced by tightening the nut down into another part that has a matching bevel that squeezes the fingers of the collet inward and thus tightens on whatever is in the center, in the case of a Dremel it's the shank of whatever bit you have in it and in the case of this washer it's the drive shaft for the tub. I just lucked out, or should I say my friend did, I have an entirely different designed Maytag washer that had it's common problem occur, somewhat similar to this design but different enough it has bushings that the shaft rides inside of that get old and wear out along with a rubber boot that acts like a seal that fails allowing water to run down the shaft then fling all around the inside of the cabinet where the transmission, motor and pump are, and it runs out from underneath pretty good, the assembly is held together with a spanner nut that's under the agitator, just two weeks I had to buy the parts and the spanner wrench to fix it, yesterday I went to look at his used washer he just bought from someone that can't make it through the spin cycle because it bangs around all over the place that just happens to be the same exact washer in this video, lucky for him I just bought the spanner wrench needed with this updated part.

It's worth repairing if you replace the plastic spline hub with a metal one, which will fix the problem. The plastic wears out, hence the free movement. A metal hub takes care of that. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

I found the Largest issue by fat with top loaders are the OPERATORS!!! Follow these steps in this order, Start water, Add detergent as washer is filling, Add clothes one piece at time at opposite sides starting with a balanced load!

Is that drive hub compatible with all these top load Whirlpool washers with the washplate agitator? I've got a WTW5000DW2 that's got this issue and I was just about to replace the drive hub with a new plastic one.

YES! It will work. Let me know how it works for you. You'll also need a TB123 spanner wrench.

I’m about to install this but I’m curious. Do the splines on the hub kit have to pull double duty with smoothed out tub splines? Or is replacing the actual tub and adding this kit going to give you the longest life?

I saw this video and went to order part immediately . What is discovered is that the price varies widely fron $30 for the kit to $200 and that the median range is $40 but most placed are sold out the part is on back order. I have my washer disassembled and I neeed to get back to having fresh underwear asap so I went ahead and popped for one that sold for $99.
