This may not be your problem, but I have had some where the control panel vibrates at different points in the cycle. At some point in time, the panel was raised for some maintenance and the plastic nut the screw goes into was stripped to where it doesn't secure solid any more. I have replaced...

Stan, I ended up buying a new inner tub. The old one has quite a bit of porcelain rubbed off, more around the top part of the tub. Also, the post area of the old one is almost rusted through. It seemed that most of it was undissolved washing powders that had been caked on through the years.

Progress Had some time after work to dig into this machine further. So the rust around the bottom of the post is the evidence I think was mentioned that I would definitely find. Is there something I can paint or spread over that rust to seal it? I have the new tub seal ready, letting the...

I just got the machine over to my house and I have removed the wash basket. The tub support looks to be in great condition, no rust at all. Looking at this pic, am I seeing three seals here which are potential places to check for leak? What is the best way to check which one? Number two and...

Do you mind sharing the information for Coecentric? Thanks! The agitation on your video sounds normal to me compared to what I hear on mine. I do hear some of that noise in your neutral drain but much softer. At least it seems like I didn’t do something wrong. I was concerned something else...

Here are links to the noise.  It is slightly louder due to the location of the camera for recording, the drain is by far the loudest.  Is the gear case actually doing anything in neutral drain tho?     Slow Speed Agitation   High Speed Agitation   Neutral Drain

Yes sir, new FSP gear case. I thought you could buy a repair kit, but I haven’t found that part number yet. I recorded an audio recording of it by holding my phone down by the machanism, trying to figure out how to upload it to YT.

I replaced the gear case in my direct drive washer. Model number WTW5600VQ0. The previous one broke mid cycle and was agitating and spinning at the same time. I am not the original owner of this machine so I don’t know all of its history. However, since replacement, during agitation there is...

Thanks for the info. Will be a few days before I find out anything further. I have a spare Whirlpool DD in the garage I’m going to take over so she has a way to do laundry. I’ll take hers back to my house so I have room to take it apart in the garage and see just exactly what’s going on under...

Thanks for the reply! So when I pull the inner tub, inspect the post (marked by the blue arrow) on this tub support for possible rusting through? The basket drive goes through this support. I marked a red arrow, is that a seal/gasket that should be inspected as well? Is the tub seal part...

I am helping an elderly lady to repair her washing machine and she has a small leak with the location depicted in blue in this first picture. The picture is borrowed for illustration purposes. I removed the agitator and you can see the wash basket is pretty rusty and it is soft around that...

It's me again LOL. I have been dealing with some things lately due to aging parents and trying keep them as independent as possible. Monday, my dad put the water hose inside the washing machine, turned it on full blast and walked outside to do yard work or something. This post is not the...

Got it! I just got back to my parents for Christmas and this time using the putty knife had no problem getting the top panel off. I guess I just needed "the courage of my convictions" as Julia Child once said. LOL Thanks all for the assistance.

@ultramatic, thanks for posting the video. That is what I was trying to do, but I couldn't get it release and was afraid I was going to break something. I'll be back down in a couple of weeks and will try again then. The leak is not bad, just need to determine for sure where its coming from...

I am visiting my parents and their washer has developed a small leak in the back around the water inlet valve. I need to remove the top panel to get the cabinet off and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how this style panel comes off. Online I saw someone use a putty knife under each...

Any help on wiring that up properly? I can do basic electrical things I just need some directions or a diagram.

control panel Any way to get a pic of the control panel?

wire gauge Yea I was a little surprised that this one was on the left side as well. Does it matter what gauge wire I use?

Hello All! I recently purchased a Whirlpool DD Washer, model # WTW5600VQ0. The machine was manufactured in July 2009 and is in impeccable shape. The lid switch is on the left side of the lid, mounted under the top rather than the right side that I am accustomed to seeing them on. I would...

Hey there! I am on a quest to find a tub seal for my Frigidaire 1-18. Any help appreciated!! Thanks!
