Hi Alan, thank you for your question. If your belt and control board is not the issue, then you may have to take a look at your gearcase and your motor for being the issue. Good luck with your repair.

Daniel - For model number WTW4800BQ1
August 26, 2021
I put a small load through, on regular cycle. The spin cycle did not function well. It did drain, but the clothes were soaking wet. Can't see if it's spinning because of the darn lid lock. I tried this a few times. Then i put it on the "spin and drain" cycle and it worked fine.Clothes were spun dry. So i know it spins. I have checked the belt and that was okay.
Chris Boyle Profile

Washer works great, except every wash it rattles like the load is unbalanced. It sounds like it’s trying to bang out of the casing. How can I fix this?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Carrie, thank you for the question. The issue could be with the suspension system. We would suggest replacing the suspension rod kit, part number PS11703288. 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).
