my washer is EXTREMELY noisey when in the spinning but everything else in the washing cycle seems to be working okay
For model number FWT449GFS1
Hello Anne, thank you for contacting us. The issue is probably related to a worn-out shock absorber kit, part number PS3508101, a damaged drum drive pulley, part number PS418945, and a weary belt, part number PS419285. Please check these parts and find the faulty one. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
First, I had to remove 2 screws to take off the 2 broken pieces of the door catch. Then I put the new one on using the same 2 screws. The door is now able to close, but does not lock properly. In order to make it work, I put a thin piece of rubber into the place where the door meets the machine. This causes the lock to engage and the machine to work. I don't know how much longer it will work since the repairman claims that the main bearing is going, but hopefully it will last a bit longer.
Part Select got the part to me in one day using the standard shipping, which was impressive. I just wish that I hadn't wasted money on calling a repairman only to have him tell me that he didn't have the part. He charged for the visit anyway even though I told him ahead of time the problem and the model of my machine.
1. Unplug unit. 2. Unscrew 2 nuts holding top in place in rear of unit using phillips head screwdriver. 3.Slide top back and remove. 4. Open door of washer and unscrew 2 screws holding in door lock unit. 5.Pull out unit from the top and install new unit reconnecting the 3 wire connections.
removed 2 screws and removed top access cover. removed 2 screws and removed front access cover. removed 4 retaining pins (one with nammer and punch because it was stuck) connected lower ends of new shocks with plastic pins, extended each shock to slip fit and connected upper ends to wash tub mounts. Reinstalled panels. I wish I could say that it all went well from there but......when the shocks broke, apparently the hit the motor took was enough to cause an electronic failure of the speed cycle control chip. Now Im waiting for that part.
