    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    That Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 I got in is like $600 to repair. That one’s a no-fix. This one had so many issues. It also apparently had a bad actuator so it wouldn’t agitate properly. Motor bearings shot too on this one. Transmission bearing is good but the splines are stripped.

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    For a while I didn’t get any roarers. Until now where I got in a lot. A lot of roarers in this load. Whirlpool VMWs. So many goners. I just got in a 🗑️ Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer (made on 14th week of 2021) with worn gearcase splines, motor bearings, drive hub, suspension rods, washplate was...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    Just got in a 2023 Whirlpool WTW6150PW0 washer, once it spun I heard the bearing. It has bad bearings, despite it being a 2023 machine. This is a newer VMAX style. Do you hear that in the video? The person who gave it to me said that it’s been well taken care of and that it was purchased a year...

    The Maytag MVW7230/7230. What do you think about it?

    What is your opinion on the MVW7232H/MVW7230H. The reason why I’m not saying the full number is because there are two variants, “HC” and “HW”, which are the same exact machines except for the color. Anyways, I don’t like these newer VMAX machines because they don’t rinse well in my opinion and...

    Whirlpool VMW washer

    This was a washer that was released in 2010 and is still manufactured today. Not a fan of them and are prone to many problems, some of the most frequent problems I encounter with them is the suspension rods, splutch, or the shift actuator. Another very common failure for these is a loud...

    Whirlpool washer won’t spin - know what it is

    I don’t understand why Whirlpool puts plastic hubs on their machines, they frequently strip out. This washplate Will probably be a pain to take off when I’m out of work. I already get enough of those things off, now I’ll have to do it on my own machine.

    Whirlpool washer won’t spin - know what it is

    As of right now the drive hub just stripped out on my 2019 Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer. Washplate moves independently from the drum. When it tries to spin it makes a weird noise and clothes come out soaked. The drive hubs aren’t too expensive but the bearings are also shot on my machine as it...

    I usually do these in a comment but this time I’m doing it in a post

    I got in multiple washers today and I was surprised when I got in a Speed Queen with bad bearings. I got in a 2017 Speed Queen top loader with bad bearings. Yes, bad bearings. Roaring like an airplane on spin cycle. A Whirlpool WTW5057LW0 washer (made on 41st week of 2021). Bad bearings, very...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    Control board problems are much more common on newer VMWs. Got in two today. I get in VMWs about every time and I repair them. Today just got in a Whirlpool WTW5010LW0 with a bad board. Board is bad, not working, machine was made in 2024. I also got in this Whirlpool WTW4816FW3 that’s...

    Opinions please

    The bigger VMWs and the VMAXs use this pump style. I don’t think any VMW uses it anymore tho.

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    And I got in several machines today, many are VMW: Maytag MVWC200XW0 washer - roaring spin cycle and bad bearings. Maytag Bravos X MVWX700XL2 washer (made on 15th week of 2013) - roaring spin cycle and bad bearings. I got a gearcase for it so I’m going to put a gearcase on this one. Kenmore...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    I went to visit one of my friend’s houses today, and his is a Maytag Centennial MVWC200XW3 washer, it’s like 12 years old or something. It was actually sounding normal on wash cycle and filled, but once it go into the spin cycle it was LOUD. Like a jet engine taking off, so bearings are...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    Got in more washers, made another video in files. Whirlpool WTW4816FW1 washer - manufactured on the 49th week of 2016. Bad bearings - loud roaring spin cycle. No fix. Very loud. Older GE Model-T WBSR3140DAWW washer, was a simple fix, was just a bad timer and I threw a new one on and it was all...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    I just got in VMWs and VMAXs yesterday, and even a couple GE’s, I made the video on my files to remember the machines. one 2019 Maytag MVWB835DW4 made on 45th week of 2019 with a bad control board (good bearings tho) so I might save a Gearcase on that one, an Amana NTW4516FW1 washer (made on...

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    Maybe. But that’s about it. Rest of the GE commercial is the same. And all of these motors seem to be good quality. The only failure i occasionally see with them really is when the internal bearings war out. But it’s much more commonly the gearcase bearing that’s causing the noise.

    What is the best modern washer to buy (outside Speed Queen)?

    Don’t buy top loading Whirlpool tho, they are junk. Repair them almost every day. VMW’s use undersized gearcase, belt, and motor. Their Gearcase is also made of plastic on the inside, and they are just made to fail after 3 years. The newest VMW’s are worse and don’t clean well at all. The dual...

    The Defense of the Model-T

    I’ve used the cheap Amana before at a vacation house before, it was the older NTW4650YQ0 from 15th week of 2013 according to serial number, don’t know what I thought about it. It had the straight vane agitator with load size selectors and used a full tub of water. Sure it’s better than the newer...
