4LBR8255DZ1 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

I looked at the video that was available for a general idea. I knew the exchange was fairly simple but it never hurts to watch someone else explain it. Used my socket and extension, some lube as recommended, replaced the pieces, tightened and turned the washer on. Worked like a charm. Thanks

watched a utube vidieo and followed directions in repair kit poped the cap removed screw seperated agitator replaced worn parts reasembeled agitator simple

Found Website and entered model number. Used the quick explanation of problem to find required parts for repair. Found that one washer was left off in the parts recommended for repair while repairing that was purchased locally because it was cost was lower than part and shipping on line. The parts ordered from Part Select arrived with in 3 working days. Video was very helpful for the whole repair.

took broken agitator dogs out and put new parts in, it was very easy repair.

The most difficult part was aligning the two sides of the coupling. Disassembling the motor from the transmission was a snap. The replacement coupling was of higher quality than the original. It had metal bushings in the center holes, where they interface each driveshaft. The original did not. It was plastic.

exactly like the instructions that came with the new parts said. they were very accurate.

The repair went very well as per the video, however the metal reinforced coupling only went onto the shaft half way. To ensure the coupling was flush with the top of the shaft I has to use a hammer and tamp the coupling onto the shafts. If you left it halfway on the shafts there was no room for the rubber spacer between the couplings. Other wise it operates very well.

remove top cap on agitator, remove seal from inside of agitator tube( seal looks like garbage disposer stopper)now you see top of bolt head, use 7/16 socket with a 12 inch extension, hold bottom of agitator to keep it from turning while removing bolt,pull up on agitator top to remove, remove assembly that holds the cog's,slide off retainer ring, replace with new cog's, (when reassembling match pins in bottom part of agitator to slots in top part of agitator.)install bolt, install seal(use some laundry detergent so it slides in easily),put cap of agitator back on. that's it

I went to YOUTUBE to see what the issue might be. I found a PartSelect video that described my problem. I than called PartSelect and talked to a nice gentleman named Derek. He double checked to make sure I had the right part numbers, and helped me complete my order. I received the parts package the next day even though I did not request overnight. Everything I needed was in the kit and I had the washer repaired in less then 30 minutes. Thanks for the help PartSelect.

You guys are "Awesome" I wish I had known about your site and watched the video's first!!! When my washer started acting up, I tore it down to parade rest trying to figure out why it wasn't spinning! Then I discovered your web site searching for help. Anyhow, it identified my problem, I watched the video on the most likely cause (the Direct Drive Motor Coupling), checked it out, and discovered one of the couplings was cracked and rounded out..... Thanks to you, the washer's fixed and I can't Thank you enough! Sincerely, Terry Kuster P.S. Everyone will know about your Web site. Thanks again!

After watching the video that came with the parts, it was straight forward, very well informative.

I watched the on line video for installing the repair kit and it was simple! I spent just under $36 and saved $800 buying a new washer. It runs quieter and more efficiently then it has in awhile. PS - I am a woman!

took the softener dispensor out got a 7/16 socket and extension took the bolt off pulled the whole assembley out as the video showed replaced the agitator rebuild kit the whole procedure took ten minutes top VERY SATIFIED Paul

The unit would not fill with water. My wife had been complaining that the tub had not been filling completely before the filling completely failed. If I switched the water level to another setting and then back, it would run fine for just one cycle. That's why I suspected the water level pressure switch. It was a very simply switch out, requiring just a philips screwdriver and popping the control panel on the top open (thankfully not messing with the main cabinet). It was replaced and reassembled within just minutes!

1. visited web site followed path for symptoms, identified part ordered 2. Dismantled Washer, removed motor, replaced coupling and re-assembled. 3 Tested outside to confirm working order before returning washer to inside location 4. Moved washer back inside.
