More than a wash arm! Your picture is of the wash arm support. And you actually need one of those as you are missing the brass ring that forms a bearing surface for the wash arm to spin on and seal the arm and prevent a downward leak when the pump is running. If the ring is missing, you can...

Dig down deeper! Since it is pretty likely that your machine is of the Point Voyager design, I would suggest that you take a look into the sump where the pump intake is and see if there isn't some buildup of debris that is preventing the pump from pulling in as much water as it is designed to...

If not VWM then what comes next? What does Whirlpool have in the production pipeline to replace these machines? Maybe a more energy efficient Belt or Direct drive? What was once old comes back as tomorrow's new! But then again, the bean counters probably have the last word and will squash...

Definitely need a wash arm! The bronze bushing from the wash arm hub came out of thew wash arm and is on the stainless-steel shaft of the support. That bushing is supposed to stay in the wash arm. And it almost looks like the lower bronze ring is still there. If i were you, I would get the...

Right on the head! Yes, I would agree with Ralph. The wash arm support sounds like it is shot. Start checking on Ebay for a new one. Don't bother with a used one as it will probably do the same thing as yours with continued use. And while you are at it, you should replace the wash arm as well...

Screw size just so you have it The screw you need to secure the impeller down with is part number SC-066-19. That is the Hobart/KitchenAid number. The screw is 10-32 x 7/16 Phillip Truss Head Stainless steel. That should be enough to get it from Ace or True Value hardware.

435102 seal kit The current list price from Hobart is $191.76. There are 12 in stock. You can order it directly from the Hobart parts E-store or by calling your local Hobart office. I don't know where you sourced the $500.00 price. Either way, the price is exorbitant but what can you do...

My wife and I are having a heated discussion about built in water filters and when they really need to be replaced. The real issue is how does the refrigerator know when to turn on the light that says to replace the filter. I remember reading that there is a counter that records how many times...

Vari-Front Pack Is what you need to replace the missing lower panel. Obviously, the original owners had a matching wood panel on the bottom. The Vari-front pack allowed you to change the panel colors or add a custom panel to match the cabinets. Perhaps someone in the "club" has either the...

OEM only You will not find the seal at a hardware store. It is a 2 part item. The stationary part goes into the lower housing and the rotating part is part of the drain impeller which is the top part. The Whirlpool part number is 4162139 and they are NLA from WP but available on Ebay for damned...

Shaft seal.. If everything is tight and there are no holes in the hoses, it all sounds like it is a worn out shaft seal. Since it leaks when it is running, it would drip down on to the cooling fan on the top of the motor and get slung out in a circular pattern. It sprays all over the bottom of...

Ready for the close up! Can you take a picture of one of the push-buttons? I may have a few hanging around that you can have.

May be the later series The 18-23 series panels measure as follows: Upper door panel is 23-9/16" x 18-13/16" Lower Panel is 23-11/16" x 6-5/8" NOTE: the "Architect" series top door panel is actually smaller in height due to the larger control panel on those machines. Looks like your panels...

Size matters! Since there was a change in designs between the 70's and 80's, the panel sizes changed when the door was lengthened on the 18 series and up. Can you please provide the dimensions of the panels so members will know it they will fit their particular machine?

More info needed.. Can you take a video with your phone and post it here so we can hear the noises it is making while the machine is running? That can be a big help in determining the issue.

Wash Arm Support Perhaps, this is what you are asking for? I have one that I can sell to you if this is what you need.

All in the family! Wes, first of all, good to see you posting again here. Hope all is well with you. If you or anyone else is not aware, Red Goat was bought by ITW some years back when Standex Corp broke up its brands and sold them to a number of different companies. It is now part of ITW Food...

Sounds like a clogged or collapsed drain hose Preventing it from fully draining. Do you hear it draining in the sink drain or disposer? Did you install a new disposer and forget to completely remove the knockout for the dishwasher drain? Try removing the drain hose from under the sink and let...

Not always! For safety's sake, always remove the power source when first troubleshooting the dryer. You want to check the thermostats first to see if they are working and will allow the electricity to flow thru them to power the element and heat the dryer. No power is required to do that...
