    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Well this pos is trying my patience & sanity. I finally got the agitator to hold firmly & the next load of clothes I start hearing a whistling/scratching type noise so I go check and inside the agitator was full of water. Idk how or why but I'm assuming water started finding its way down to the...

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Fixed it kind of. I removed the softener dispenser & the bolt holding the agitator to the gearcase shaft was way loose. I tightened the hell out of it & it worked & then came loose again about a minute later:mad:I cranked it down again & so far so good but I'm worried it'll come loose again. I'm...

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Sns, looks like you were right. I put the new gearcase in & it still isn't agitating. I can hear it working but when I pry on the lid I see that it's not moving at all what so ever. I'm not lifting it up high at all that it would cause it to stop either. I called sears service & gave the lady an...

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    I got it. I took a long pry bar & used it with a hammer to whack the top of the gearcase shaft till it separated from the basket. But the basket and the nut are still stuck together. Got to wait for some time later this week to install the new one & test everything out.

    Yes I removed the agitator & inspected the dogs. They're fine & I was able to remove the tub nut(used an exhaust clamp to get it off)the tub is still stuck & won't come out. I sprayed it down with some penetrating oil & am going to give it another shot in the morning. Hope it helps.

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Well I'm back at it. After months of using a cheap used unit I bought I finally am getting around to replacing the gearcase on my busted whirlpool.

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Ok I found the serial #wtw4800xq4. Anyhow I had a family friend I had forgotten about take a look at it, even though he works on these things as a side job he admitted he don't know much about these new style pulley type washers. After that & having to go to the laundromat for the past month I...

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    Where are the model #'s on these things? Also I ran the diagnostic mode thing on it & I have 3 blinking lights, not sure what to make of them or where to reference them. The 3 blinking are Sensing, rinse, done Followed by done and then repeated.

    Washer won't spin, help please.

    I'm thinking it is something else. The lid locks & when I pry on it I can see the agitator moving but barely, almost not at all. I can hear it to but it sounds very slightly different than when it was working

    Toilet flange problems, need help please

    So my toilet flange is busted and I tried to remove it but I was only able to remove an outer diameter piece that had the slots for the closet bolts. I'm left with a hard to remove, plastic type piece that won't budge. I do not know if this is part of the sewer pipe or a stubborn piece of...
