The washing machine goes on balance even when there’s no clothes in it. I’ve fixed the feed on the washing machine and that has not helped it. It starts to wash then goes on balanced drains spins goes on balance over and over again
For model number WTW8540BW0

Hello Jackie, thank you for your question. Even the smallest item like a coin or button may get caught between the agitator and the inner tub. It would be a good idea to do a through exam to ensure nothing has been stuck. We hope this helps.

The washer was making a horrible noise during the spin cycle
Removed a cap in the center of the tub basket which has a bolt that needs removed I believe it's a 9/16 after I removed the bolt I then removed the center of the bottom of the basket assembly which then allowed me to get to the basket hub that needed replaced it was a little dirty and I couldn't get it out so I sprayed a little penitrating oil on it let it sit a little then I was able to remove the hub and install the new one then I put it all back together and the washer is working great

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
