    What’s wrong my KitchenAid washer now?

    I’ve about had it with this machine, quite honestly. The biggest issue was the round shaft on the motor from the metal coupling insert. I fixed that by replacing with an older (round style) coupling that sits very secure on there ( I have verified). I also put new snubber pads on (obviously a...

    Direct Drive Pump Question

    I just realized there are different WP direct drive pumps out there. The one original to my KitchenAid washer (<span style="font-size: 12pt;">(3363892)</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> has a black flab inside the larger opening (see photo below). What is this for? I would assume to keep...

    HELP NEEDED - Washer won't agitate

    Please help. I'm not sure what this may be. I'm thinking the inlet water valve, pressure switch, or timer (all original). Machine will not start agitating. The lid switch has been permanently bypassed. When I pull the timer, I just hear a loud hum (inlet valve?)   Usually when I dial back the...

    KitchenAid Motor 3350418 Needed

    If anyone happens to have a KitchenAid drive motor, part number 3350418, I would be interested purchasing it. Sadly the shaft on my motor is shot and it will not hold the coupler.     Thank you.

    How to clean KitchenAid porcelain stains?

    I don't want to damage the porcelain, but there appears to be some hard water deposits or perhaps detergent that has sat too long and embedded into the finish. All purpose cleaner and a good scrub with a microfiber towel didn't seem to work. What is the safest way to remove this? I tried my best...

    Beautiful KitchenAid washer/dryer set

    This will be my next set. Put down a deposit and will be picking up Saturday. No idea when this particular style was made as I am awaiting the model/serial numbers. Anyone have any kind of experience with this set?   From the photos it appears to be a 3-speed with 5 water levels. It also has...

    Help Identify Dryer Issue

    1996 Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care gas dryer. It started making a weird noise the other day, what appears to be a scrapping noise. I don't know how much about dryers, but I would assume it might be the felt that the drum sits on under the door.  Below is a video demonstrating the issue.   ...

    Can Oil be added through the shaft seal opening?

    One of my DD transmissions has leaked quite a bit of oil (through the coupler shaft) I have confirmed this. I am worried that maybe more has gotten out as I realized. When I noticed it, there was maybe about the size of a quarter on the floor. Without having to open the gearcase up and reseal...

    Whirlpool DAA Vs. Kenmore DAA

    I have been thinking about this for a while now. Which is more effective in terms of rollover? The Whirlpool style agitator or the Kenmore version? In my experience, the Kenmore version seems to be slightly more effective. Kenmore also has the same style agitator that reads "triple" on the...

    Need advice

    On how to keep washer from vibrating. My home sits on top of a crawl space and was built in 1957. So the flooring in the laundry room isn’t that great. So what I thought was the solution was to put two wood blocks between the dryer and washer in opposite sides using the wall and furnace as...

    What did I do to my gearcase?

    Hello everyone. I was rebuilding one of my spare transmissions (which I am getting better at) but not quite there yet. Anyway, my goal was to just replace the gear oil. So I took it apart and cleaned out the interior with some brake cleaner. I accidentally pulled the shaft and bottom piece its...

    Whirlpool Gold Catalyst Direct Drive

    Can't believe what I just scored at my local appliance store. I'm super excited. I haven't seen many of these and can't wait to explore what it offers. I can't seem to look up when the machine was made. Anything I should know with these? MODEL: GSX9885JQO SERIAL: CM0438270 Type: 118

    Seeking Blue Kitchen Aid Agitator Assembly

    Good afternoon! Is anyone willing to part ways with a blue Kitchen Aid agitator assembly? I am in need of both the base and auger. The softener dispenser would be a great addition, but isn't necessary. Thank you!

    Strange Metallic Rattle during agitation

    Direct drive. Noticed this now during agitation instead of neutral drain. It was very apparent washing a very large load of towels yesterday. Hard to get the house replicated on video but I most definitely will try. Is it possible for the metal washer that sits above the clutch housing to...

    Signs of a bad timer?

    Hi everyone. Just need some input regarding my timer. The '96 machine I have has the original timer (WP3946475) from 1996. For the most, it appears to be functioning as it should, completing the cycles and advancing correctly. My issue appears to be that it's misaligned on the pointer. For...

    Drive Basket Assembly W10820043

    Picked up a new old stock drive basket assembly and am wondering if any of you apply grease to the rollers or shaft? Seems to be very hit or miss with getting the brake to stop without jerking the whole tub. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    Rattle neutral drain

    Replaced the pump in my 1996 Kenmore direct drive with the older style pump. It sounds absolutely fantastic but I'm noticing a rattling noise during the initial neutral drain. From what I am reading, this could be the pump and I'm pissed because I don't want to take this pump out because it...

    Neutral Drain Replacement

    I did my first neutral drain replacement yesterday. I did not drain the original oil, as it looked pretty good. Only issue I ran into was being unable to remove the hex screw on the metal plate. So I ended up leaving that in there, but replaced all the other pieces including spin gear with the...
