I think what you are seeing is just the crud (junk, dirt, stuff, grime - pick a name ?) that seems to accumulate on the inside surface of the outer tub. Usually much more prevalent in the upper 1/3 or 1/4 of the tub. Most consumers will wash for a decade or the life of their machine and never...

1/2 correct Yes, I am reaching down into the water while the agitator IS being driven to oscillate by the running motor and tranny in the wash part of cycle. However I would say the oscillation is not as forceful as normal in the water, but the agitator base is oscillating. The NOISE is...

I have the prior generation SQ FL (2013 model year) and don't believe it is this bad and that is without that newly added "balance ring" that I thought was suppose to address some of this. It appears to me someone has already replaced one of the shocks because I can see that the two front...

It is a bad transmission I went ahead and took off the motor to check the coupler and shaft ends. All good. I swapped with a known good agitator from my daughters WP, and I could still easily turn the bottom fin portion in both directions while the machine was doing a wash (agitation) cycle...

I didn't see your reply Yogitunes but will take your advice and pull the motor to make certain that coupler isn't the problem. Thanks for sharing your experience as I otherwise had already satisfied myself the coupler looked OK. Will report back tomorrow.

Spins and draining seem normal The transmission spline is not corroded. The spin and draining all seem to be fine. I have only owned a handful of the DD machines but seldom read about transmission's stripping. I recall when I did the new neutral drain kit earlier in the year on another KM...

I have a WP (Roper) DD washer and find that I can reach in to the bottom of the tub and rotate the bottom agitator fins back and forth while the washer is in it's wash / agitation cycle. (We are NOT talking about the top part of this dual action agitator that has the dogs) This machine was...

On my ASKO W660 series washer, the door is very hard to get it to close. If I push very firmly on the door (without slamming) the drum usually hit's the back of the case before the door latches. My guess is that it's taking 12 to 20 pounds of force and while I've noticed (from video's) that...

I finally ended up selecting the GL-4 Hypoid Gear Oil by Quicksilver 858064Q01 High Performance SAE 90 Gear Lube for Mercury Outboards. I thought it might have some benefit or protection in case of water intrusion since it was formulated for outboard motor use.

This relates to my AFN50 (prior gen. FL) I have noticed that there is some small "pocket" under the detergent drawer that collects liquid that cannot escape. Over time it may tend to get a bit messy (although out of site) and may contribute to odors. It's hard to see but in the last picture...

Keep us posted on what you find out with that seal and if you can change it out to the SQ SS sleeve that John mentioned. I may be doing this job on my MayTag SAV, Amana-Tag pretty soon because it has leaked and froze up the bearing. Everyone says to junk it and I might do that too but will...

Now on to the shocks Even though I hate to have purchased four new lower shocks because it looks like only the two left side are suspect. Both shocks on the left are sitting much lower than the right side. Nevertheless, SQ recommends replacing all four so I’m going to try and do that...

Yes the wiring - John L nailed it Even though it's difficult access, I reached in from both the front and the back and was able to confirm that the out-of-balance switch tested normal. I checked the one wire and it showed good continuity. On to the second wire and nothing, even though the...

I didn't replace the two drive tube seals because they still looked pretty good. I think these are the part #'s to consider: Lower Shaft Seal: Part #91938​ (or WP8577376) Upper Shaft Seal: Part #91939​ However these seals may be included in your 285203 kit? Of course plan on touching up...

It is from 2013 ..."You will not see a broken wire going to the balance SW, the conductor breaks inside the insulation" Thanks, that helps me understand what I'm looking for and the need to test further if that switch should test out OK! I don't have enough experience to judge the overall...

I did go and purchase this SQ model: AFN50FSP111TW01; both my first SQ and FL. I immediately started the largely cosmetic deep cleaning. That got me some time commitment into the washer with the plan to get this unit fully operational and back to doing the job it was built to do. The drain...

There was no plastic gear in my ND kit A month or so ago, my similar Kenmore 80 was doing a spin drain for the first one or two times during each use but then it would start doing the normal ND after that. I elected to install a new ND kit and I've since ran four test loads and it has ND...

I have the opportunity to purchase this SQ FL (guess 10-12 yrs. old ?) that is said to have been diagnosis with a bad "vibration sensor" and it will not spin. I read that SQ recommends these units not to be moved more than a few feet without the transport braces and bolts installed back in...

Thanks. In my area I find several reasonable-priced options for 7.5 or 8 uF "run" capacitors that are usually being used on HVAC fan motors. They will not have the screw mount on the end but I think I could use a zip tie or something to secure it in position. Does anyone have experience or...

Which is the start capacitor on this ASKO ? I have this same T761 dryer and the motor now just makes a humming noise when pushing the start button but will not start without assistance. If I give the drum a spin with my hand and push start the dryer runs normal. I believe this points to a...
