How would the upper agitator interfere with agitation? Mine is not broke. I’ve changed the hub kit, no luck. Would the lower part of the agitator need replacing? The machine spins great
Hi Cindy,
Thank you for your question. If your washer is not agitating, the upper agitator is one part that you will need to check. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will also need to check the drive pulley, the shift actuator, the drive block, the door lock assembly and the washplate. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check these parts. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
Does whirlpool this model have springs in it and if it does where are they located? If a belt is broken would it hit the sides of washer only in spin cycle?
Hello Rhonda, thank you for writing. When shock absorbers weaken or become damaged, unbalanced loads will cause the washer to shake or move and the machine will often make a loud banging sound during the spin cycle. The Shock or Suspension kit is part PS12349409.
At the start of the spin cycle, a screeching goes on for about 4-5 seconds. Any help would be appreciated. TY
Hi Glenn, thank you for getting in touch. We would recommend checking the drive belt, part number PS12578772. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope that helps!
The washing machine works but when it enters the drain cycle,that is, drying clothes it’s makes a very loud sound as if something is loosened and start to move.
Hello Sra, thank you for your query. We recommend checking the clutch assembly, part number PS10057144, the drive belt, part number PS12578772, and the gear case, part number PS16220910, to resolve your issue. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
My wash machine is making a whistling sound when it spinning with certain loads
Hello Lisa, Thank you for the question. The whistling noise may occur when the washer is filling with too much water pressure. Try adjusting hot and cold water taps or replacing the Water Inlet Valve. We hope this helps!

Noise, grinding sounds. Wash tub stopped turning but motor and cycles kept functioning. Process of elimination, must be the clutch assembly.

ordered hub and it shipped quickly. I was able to put the hub in place and screw the screws in. you want to tighten them down slowly and go around to each screw tightening a little at a time so you don't break the hub. as you tighten the screws down the hub slides down flush. its impossible to just push the hub on with your hand.
