Does this model have replaceable or cleanable lint filters?
Hello Len, thank you for the question. According to our research, the lint filter for your model is part number PS11750500. The filter is under the basket at the bottom of the outer tub assembly. You will need to remove the basket and agitator to get to the filter. We hope this information helps!
I need to replace the aprings or whatever keeps the drum in place...what part do I need.
Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for writing in. Our research has found, part number PS12349409, suspension springs, is the part that you are looking for. We hope this helps.
Hi. This washer fills and then starts to agitate while filling and then as soon as it is done filling (which takes 15 minutes where I live) and having agitated occasionally it then drains itself with little to no spinning. The lid lock button sometimes comes on but most of the time I can open the lid at will while it does its operation. I've taken the control board off behind the cycle select knob and it looks like new with no loose connections or burn marks. Could it be the shift agitator or is the lid lock broken as well do you think? Thank you
Hi Stephen, thank you for reaching out. Yes, the issue could be with the lid lock assembly, part number PS12704713. Before replacing the shift actuator, you may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
My washer is very loud on the spin cycle, what would cause this to happen and what parts do I need to make it not loud
Hello Dayna, thank you for your question. We recommend replacing the Gearcase PS16220910. A previous customer posted this repair story. DO NOT do this repair from the top. The only thing needed to be removed from the top of the machine is the agitator and retaining clip. After removing these items, lay the machine on its front, on a table if you have a friend who will help. Remove the back cover. Simply disconnect the wiring, remove the water pump, the tub locking mechanism, the belt, and motor. Remove the four bolts holding the gearcase. It should come out with little effort. Remove the old tub seal. There should be a new one on the replacement. Lubricate the new seal. Dishwashing liquid worked great. Move the drive wheel from the old gearcase to the replacement part. All the parts originally removed will only fit one way. Reverse all the removal steps and you be should be ready to go. 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.

Changing the gear case is a basic R and R operation since the gear case is a complete assembly riveted together. It is a bit challenging though getting to it because you have to totally disassemble the entire washer nearly every nut, bolt and screw. Fortunately the washer is fairly easy to work on and I am very mechanically inclined, but
... Read moreI did cheat a bit by watching some U-tube videos first. I couldn't find the same exact model washer as mine on U-tube but there were enough similar units to obtain the basic procedure. A thing I do when disassembling things is to take pictures of the way it's put together before removing stuff. It goes without saying that you first have to disconnect the power, the water hoses and it helps to get the washer out away from the wall so you can work around it. You have to remove the top, back panels, and the inner and outer tubs first. After removing the inner and outer tubs I turned the washer upside down in order to gain access to the gear case so I wouldn't have to stand on my head or lay down. Remove everything attached to the gear case (take picture) and use a strap wrench (or a strong friend) to hold the large pulley while removing the retaining nut. To remove the condenser (large round thing in black plastic retainer) rotate it counter clockwise and lift out, it doesn't snap out. I was very happy to see that the new gear case came with the shaft seal already installed so with a small amount of liquid dish soap around the outside of the rubber it allowed a nice slip fit back into the outer tub. All the parts that were removed pretty much will only fit one way so you don't have to worry too much about how everything goes back together. After reassembly and hooking up the washer again be sure to perform the calibration procedure before you turn on the water. Instructions came in the box with the gear case. Here is a side bar: I am 76, my grandson and I replaced the gear case in just a few hours, It's no big deal. Now for the interesting part, when I ordered the replacement gear case by the old part number I was told it had been superseded by a new number so when the new unit arrived I discovered that the shaft and seal looked different so hopefully the water leaking into bearing won't happen again. I was going to drill the old gear case apart and replace the bad bearing so I am glad I didn't because the shaft and seal would continue to leak and ruin the bearing again so don't try that. One thing I would like to mention about this company from which I ordered the part was the amazing delivery, only 36 hours. I ordered the part Sunday evening late and Tuesday morning early it arrived. Wow, blew me away, also I live in California and apparently the company is in Nova Scotia, no sales tax, Woo Hoo.
