@ oh the wash plate in the drum. Yea I use airbags under them sometimes. And hooks too. Hot water. One guy said take the bolt out and let it wash. And the washplate will work itself right off. Bunch of different tricks

Is there any way to stop the water leaking until I can replace the bearings?

@@dad0041 if the water is coming down the center I’m not real sure there is a way to stop it. But you can maybe throw a washer pan under it to catch the water that way it doesn’t get on your floor.

@LAapplianceguy 15 сағат бұрын

@ well it would work if the leak is from the outer part of the seal to drum. But if the leak is coming from where the seal meets the shaft. I don’t know if it would help. Maybe it might. But the shaft has to move. So it’s a toss up.

Would it be easier(and cost effective) to replace the drum?

@dad0041 19 күн бұрын

I replaced the bearings back in April. It has started with the loud jet noise. Did I get a cheap set of bearings? Is it ok to use the washer until I either replace it or fix it? Can you recommend a place to buy used ones? I live in Wilcox County.

@LAapplianceguy 18 күн бұрын

@@dad0041 oh no. I have had premature failure out of them. But it usually happens if the seal starts leaking early. That stinks. Not really sure around Wilcox. But it won’t hurt anything until it gets to where it’s throwing codes. Man can you get a new set under warranty? The whirlpool parts get 1 year warranty

@@LAapplianceguy ...I worked for a major retailer doing appliance repairs. Techs were given the bearing tool but after several failed leaking repair attempts it was cheaper to ship out a replacement tub. Additionally, older tubs that had bad bearings tended to have a buildup of soap residue resulting in smelly machines.
