VBSR3100DCWW Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

Viewed the step by step how to and was able to complete repair all has worked well great info sight!

I replaced the Switch and Valve per the other instructions on this board. It took about 15-20 minutes. After replace, I have not had any overflows since then.

I followed the on-line video with just one exception and I had the old part off in less than 5 minutes. I ordered the part on Saturday afternoon and I had the part in hand by Wednesday morning at around 11:00 am. I spent less time installing the coupling kit than it took to take it apart and had 2 loads of clothes done before going to work on second shift. I would recommend anyone needing help contact Parts Select. They were great and very helpful.

The agitator is the tough thing to remove, I took a previous posters advice and used a rope and 2 boards to pull it up. I will describe it as many short ropes but it can be done without cutting the rope if you think a lot about it. loop the a rope under the agitator so its under 1/2, loop another rope under the other side. tie both loops so you can slide a board in each across the top of the washer. Then tie the 2 loops together on 2 sides down near the bottom of the agitator otherwise they will come out from under it when you pull. then slide the boards in the loops and lift up pulling up the agitator.That is the hard part. Remove the bolt on the coupling, and pull it off. The new one had to be lightly hammered on with a rubber mallet, then use the new bolt. the Agitator slide down and with a push down it popped on. Putting the new part on only took 15 min, removing the broken one took about 45 min. Washer is woking great now ! Saved over $100 or buying a new washer !

Took the front panel off and it looked like everything was OK with the transmission, etc. Pulled out the agitator and noticed that the coupler had stripped out splines. New coupler was a later design, but was backward compatible with the new bolt included. Spline slipped on with no problem and hold down bolt snugged down just fine. Snapped the agitator back on and was in business.

We couldn't get a repair to come out - were told to buy a new because it would cost too much to fix. I did not agree. I pulled the agitator off and discovered it was not working and the agitator coupler was spinning. I ordered both and put them in myself. My washer now worked like new! All for less than $100. The service guy wouldn't eve come out for less than $175 and that did not include parts!

simply replaced knob, it took less than 15 seconds, thank you.

1)Remove the 5 screws from the back panel to gain access to the dual inlet valve. 2)Disconnect the wire from the valve. Then, remove the screws the hold the valve. Then, remove the C-clamp from the valve to get it loose. 3) Then, reverse the procedures to install the new valve.

Pulled agitator by hand, (very easy), removed bolt holding coupling to shaft, removed coupling and installed new one. Tightened bolt snugly and pushed agitator bank over coupling! About 5 minutes to repair!!!!!!!!!

Take front of machine off, unscrew bottom and lay out just enough to get under the machine you do not have to take it completely off. After that unscrew center bolt holding wheel and wrap belt around then attatch the belt to the power spinner pull down as best you can and reattatch the wheel and bolt back up.

First I had no idea what to do. My first thought was to buy a new washing machine and so I began searching and found that a washer equal to mine was over $600. I brewed on this for a few days when a neighbor told me that they are not that hard to work on and we should take it apart and look at it first. We took the top and the front of the washer off and looked at the belt and the motor. All seemed fine. (we just used a screwdriver for that) then we took the agitator off, it pulled right off with some heavy tugging. then we saw the coupling. It was only held on by one screw. We used a socket to take the screw out and pulled the coupling off. It is supposed to fit very tightly on a shaft with gears. When we pulled it off and looked inside it, all the plastic gears in the coupling were stripped and that is why the agitator would not move. I expected this to cost me at least $50, but to my surprise the part was only $6.50. The shipping cost more than the part. When it arrived in about 3 days. I literally had the part on and the washer back together in less than 5 minutes. The entire repair cost me $14 and now the washing machine works better than it has worked in years. Who knew. If you intimidated by working on washers, don't be, they really are very simple machines and so not worth calling a repair man for.

I just popped in the new agitator. The coupler wasn't needed but I will keep it just in case.

I removed the agitator, replaced the agitator coupling. The guy at the appliance store where I was able to find the part said to check the splines on the inside of the agitator as well. Glad I did, the splines on the agitator were worn out too. So by checking both, if and when the problem occurs, REPLACE BOTH parts! This will save a lot of grief for you!

I didn't do the repair my wife did! She watched the video and did it exaclty the way it was shown. It took her about 25 minutes to do it. Now she wants to see if she can fix a fridge that is in the garage.

Was very easy to remove and replace. The instructional video let me know what to expect
