Nancy - For model number WTW4616FW1

The machine was filling with water, i opened the lid to add another item to the wash, when i closed the lid, the machine starting pumping the water out (the machine had not filled to the proper depth) after the water was out, the pump continued to make a grinding noise. None of the cycle indicator lights light up. I presently have the machine unplugged.

Washer fills, but when it starts to agitate, it makes very loud grinding noise. If I turn knob to “drain and spin,” it will drain and spin with no noise.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Theresa, Thank you for the question. This is normally an indication the Drive Block under the Agitator is worn and may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

I have a whirlpool washing machine (WTW4616FW1). When the washing machine agitates the basket turns as well. What would cause this? Could it be the shift actuator. How would I test it?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Mike, thank you for reaching out. We have concluded that the issue is with the shift actuator, part number PS11769864, which may need to be checked. If it is faulty, you may need to replace it. We have attached a video which might help you in testing this part. We hope this helps!

The bolt retaining the agitator keeps coming loose. Replaced latch dogs and used blue locktite when installing bolt. Ran machine through two loads and bolt loosened up again. Agitator???, shaft?? Bolt doesn't look worn. Suggestions??
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Joe, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding, you may have an issue with the gearcase, part number PS16220913. The bolt that holds the agitator goes into the shaft of the gearcase. You may need to replace the gearcase to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!

Charles - For model number WTW4616FW1

When my washer is agitating and during spin cycle my washer makes a loud wining, grinding sound. As it spins on spin cycle it sounds like it's about to explode?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Charles, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding, we would suggest checking the drive belt for any damage first. If it is fine, the issue could be with the drive block, part number PS11741977. It connects the spin basket to the basket drive to spin the basket. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

washer wouldn't agitate
955 of 1057 people found this instruction helpful.
  • mike from Kent, WA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs.
Slip the new cogs into the underside of the cup, and slide the cup back down in the a gitator housing using the slots on the side for a guide. (You may want to remove the entire agitator and assemble everything upside down, then flip it all back over to mount, so the cogs don't fall out).
Tighten the bolt, snap the cap back in place on top of the agitator and your'e done. Easy repair.

Dog ears worn down; upper agitator not moving
117 of 136 people found this instruction helpful.
  • shawn from la jolla, CA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
Pulled off the dispenser. Used socket set to remove bolt. Removed entire agitator out of washer. Placed both feet on bottom of agitator and then pulled up on the upper agitator. It took some muscle due to the years of washer use. I used a flat-head screwdriver to weaken the plastic clips holding down the old bearing-driven cam. Once I got the upper agitator off, the guts were easy to pull out. Then I just re-assembled with the 3 new parts (the Cam Driven, the Dog Ears, and the Bearing-Driven Cam).
