    Dry run test Put the engine, pump & tranny back in and did a quick dry run to make sure I put it back correctly lol. Just ran it for a minute so I don't burn the new pump out (idk). Works so far! No oil leaks as of yet! Now for the definitive water test!

    Alrighty Went ahead and put a new lid switch that I had laying around in this one since it didn't originally have a properly working one when I got it in 2020. Now finally ready to reassemble everything else back together and test everything!

    Stan Did yours have the plastic cam around the underhub of the spin gear, or was it old enough to just have the metal spring like what I've seen in some of the older patent files for these? Mine has the plastic cam/tang.

    Permatex Can't imagine how that would work on a seal that sits around a moving part? But again, I'm not one to talk. Only thing I knew how to do was break it when I tried getting the old one out, so it's rather beyond repair now.

    Yeah and from what I've read, they've done that to some other users who have been using fleabay for 20 years or more for no reason whatsoever. Shame that it's come to that now. They claim that it's because they feel for whatever reason that the user may be threatening to the community, even...

    Update--09/27/2023 New pump and couplers came in the other day. Bought a 5 pack of non-metal reinforced couplers for about 14 bucks on ebay, and then immediately was permanently banned from using ebay for no reason at all, and they wouldn't tell me why on the phone. Put the pump on today, and...

    New Drain Pump Design For Whirlpool Direct Drive?

    They make some noise when they run dry and have cavitations. The older gray pumps have a much lower pitch than the newer white ones. This one, I wasn't sure if because of the different housing design it would sound different from the original pumps or not. I might have to buy one just for the...

    New Drain Pump Design For Whirlpool Direct Drive?

    Thanks guys for the info. Melvin, do you by chance remember if you ever heard what one of those sounded like? Based on their odd unique housing design, I can't imagine they would have sounded anything like what we're used to with the original pumps. Seems like they built those without the...

    New Drain Pump Design For Whirlpool Direct Drive?

    Never seen this style pump before. Anybody know anything about this brand? I'd only ever buy it for the novelty of it lol, but I'd also be curious to hear what it sounds like on a machine. Weird that it also mounts with toilet style bolts instead of just the standard clips. I found two...

    My mistake haha John, I'm terribly sorry haha. Had you confused with DADeOS there for a minute because he recently commented on one of my old posts. BTW, there's two seals in the top of transmission?
