1CWTW5300VW0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

I Googled "washer would not spin" and came upon the PartSelect YouTube video on replacing the motor coupling. Since this seemed easy enough (and I'm a 40-year-old Mom), I decided to take the washer apart as the video instructed just to see if I could find anything obviously broken or out of place. Low and behold, the rubber gasket around the coupling was broken and indicated the coupling probably was too. I ordered the part through the direct link on the YouTube video and easily put the new coupling on and VOILA! The only thing I'd recommend differently is that you leave the pump alone. It doesn't need to come off to get to the coupling. After wrestling with trying to remove the pump, I left it in place, but not before unknowingly damaging it. I had some rust build-up in there and it made the fit very tight and cracked the part/sleeve the motor drive plugs into. When the washer was reassembled I found I'd caused a leak. But...no biggie. I decided to replace pump, too. Hey, now I know how to! :) Just received that part yesterday and VOILA! It's amazing what you can accomplish with the internet. Don't be afraid of this task, ladies (and gentlemen).

Followed the video instructions supplied with the email from Partselect, the video was very helpful and made the repair simple and fast

I surfed the internet with my model number. i found partselect.com. I read the comments and diag.'d my problem. I ordered the parts needed. I recieved the parts in 3 days and had it fixed in less than 10 minutes. VERY EASY!

watched video and followed instructions, no problems.

Repair went well. Removed 4 screws holding control panel. Removed multi plug from unit and power plug from unit. Had some difficulty removing control knob however if you look close to timer unit it reads on back of unit that you must hold stem from back of unit and pull knob off. READ INSTRUCTIONS ON BACK OF CONTROL TIMER! OR YOU WILL BREAK THE KNOB OR THE NEW UNIT.

took the washing machine out of the washroom closet and did the repair in the kitchen

Replaced the clutch - works great. HOWEVER - check the drain pump attached to the motor, there was a small sock clogging it up which also fixed the problem. I saved 600 bucks on not buying a new washing machine!!

Parts came promptly. Disassemble agitator as per tutorial video on website. Replace locking "dogs" and reassemble. Cheap, effective fix!

Rubber O ring around the Inner Cap was rotted and busted through. Replaced with new Inner Cap Seal. Easy as pie!

take the cabinet frame out first, take the pump off the motor assembly, take motor out, found the coupling is broken. replace the coupling, put back everything. That's all. Washer start to work immediately.

Youtube video

had to take the entire shell off the washer and then it was 2 simple clamps.

Watched the video on this sight. Fallowed instructions in video and everything went very smooth.

Unplugged, removed water supply hoses, removed drain hose from washer, laid whole washer on it`s back without removing the cabinet, popped clips off the water pump and laid to side, took two screws out of clips that hold motor on and popped them off with a screw driver, unplugged wiring harness and another single wire on motor and then lifted motor off. Then pried the plastic pieces of the coupling off the the motor and transmission shaft. Cleaned debris off motor and washer, replaced plastic piece to the transmission and set rubber part on plastic. Then replaced new plastic piece on motor and set motor back into bracket and put all parts back on in reverse order. I make it sound hard but was a easy job.

removed the top 2 pieces od the agitator with no tools and then used a 7/16 socket to remove the bolt and the lifted the complete agitator out of the washer. Pulled it apart by holding the bottom with my feet and pulled the top off. Replaced the parts and put it back together. I almost bought a new washer. All the new washers had some bad ratings so I am lucky I found PartSelect. The how to VIDIO was great. Shipping was 2 business days. Price was good also.
