Remove agitator and replace hub. I also recommend replacing the Suspension too. I could tell the hub was bad the piece of metal washer on the bottom was gone. The suspension lost a lot of its stiffing

Lid Lock broke

  • Judith from SAYRE, PA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
Followed video from you tube. Man made it look very easy. Not! Hole that lock has to come through in back was very tricky. Also, DO NOT THROW OUT OLD PART UNTIL NEW ONE IS INSTALLED. The reason for that is there is a CLIP at the end of the old part that is needed to attach new part to wire section in control panel. NO WHERE is it m entioned at you got the clip from the old part. Luckily we saved it. Without that clip, you are screwed.

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.

my daughters ferret chewed little pinholes in the pump hoses

two small compression clamps hold the hoses in place. these are very simple to remove, however to reinstall the new hoses you should unscrew the pumps with a nut driver, secure the hoses with the clamps, and then screw the pump back to the bottom of the drum. oh yeah make sure to put the back plate back on the machine

First replaced four basket spring supports. Next tried Basket hub assembly ( which showed wear, but not total solution). Next replaced the rotation sensor that's on the stator. That finalized the issue.

Pretty easy! Just follow this link on how to fix the problem:

The hardest part on fixing this is trying to move the washer out of its place so I can tilt it to see underneath the washer where the repair would be.

Cold water leaked into tub
8 of 9 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Benjamin from FLINT HILL, VA
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers
Replaced water inlet valve. Parts select video was incorrect for my unit. There are no spring clips to be released using a putty knife. Rather remove the two screws in the back of the top, pull the top forward and up to get at hose connections to the valve. Hint, place a towel under the valve connections because after removed from the val ve, the hoses will leak to the floor. I propped the top up with a stick. All the other stuff in the video is good. Unplug and turn water off, remove connectors from old valve etc. . I also removed the protective plate over the cabled that runs between the washer and the control panel located on the back of the washer. The will make the sliding of the top forward easier. Only one screw involved.

washer is unbalanced during a spin cycle

I watched a video on you tube before making the repair, there was only one bad rod support, location right rear, I recommend watching a video on you tube first, it is very simple to change, however the replacement of the part was not the solution to the unbalanced load during the spin cycle, so I guess I have some research to do.

Whirlpool cabrio would not go into the spin function without triggering an error code of 5d

Removed the center cover of the agitator with a flathead. Removed the nut of the agitator main cover. Had trouble taking the cover off because of the crud holding it down I wiggled it up gently alternating n,s and e,w until I eventually saw it separating from the bottom of the basket. Once it came off you could see how nasty the old hub a ssembly looked. Took the screws off the old hub assembly and removed it. Matched it up with the correct new hub assembly cause the kit comes with 2. Cleaned the shaft and that general area. Installed the new hub assembly, replaced the covers. Ran the drain and spin cycle and it worked with no problem. There are videos on YouTube that show you too. DO NOT try to pry the agitator cover if it won’t rise up easily. Be patient and it will come out.
