    It's 2024 and thank you for this video! I love my old school Kenmore washer and used this video to help me do a complete transmission and clutch replacement. It got a new timer about a year ago so I figured I was committed. I'll be back to drop another comment in 20 years!

    Thank you for the video. I could just kiss you. My husband and I purchased the part and installed it this morning. I did one load and the problem appears fixed. It is such a relief. The old clutch didn't appear to be broken but was covered in black debris. Again, thank you so much. You saved me $100s of dollars.

    Steve, Thank you very much for your excellent video. I really appreciate you all taking the time to share your expertise. I think we owe it to the people who made these machines to keep them going as long as possible. Your perfectly presented step by step instructions made me look "awesome" to my wife. Thank you very much! Best wishes to you all.

    Great video! I just did this repair and it was a cakewalk. I just disconnected the pump and left the motor attached to the gearbox. It slid out easily and wasn't too heavy all as one unit. Doing it this way allowed me to leave the cover and everything on, other than the agitator of course.

    This is the best video I have found on the replacement of a clutch. Just a realization: returning the Retaining Clip is not as easy as shown on the video. Also, I broke my D clip. Besides that, we are happy with the repaired washing machine. We should repair things than throw them away Thank you from the Philippines.

    I'm not the one with that problem but I like this response here because it's given me the idea to take my wet/dry vac and clean the assembly of any debri that might be there. A clean rag might do the job even better.

  • @Epiha
    @Epiha 2 роки тому +1

    Appreciate the video but I would edit @ 11:19 the placement of the brake cam and/or the configuration of the cam is important for inserting the clutch, also need to mention the clutch spring needs to be moved so it won't hit the brake cam. Also, in the case of an older and more used washer a rubber mallet will be useful to hammer the clutch assembly in order for the three bolt mounting holes to line up with the mounting points on the clutch base to re-install the screws.

    Great video, was very easy to follow. The clutch springs I got were light blue and dark blue and the one in the machine was between the two! Instructions said blue or black! I went with the light blue because it looked like a heavier spring for my large capacity machine. Running the machine now and all seems good except a very strange squeak while agitating.

    Good video. I think the clutch is whats wrong with mine. it's a Kenmore that looks like this one. It only washes on the Gentle cycle. Won't wash on the normal one. I watched a video similar to this one where the Tech did not remove the cabinet. I see by yours that it makes the job easier. I hope you have videos on Kenmore dishwashers too I have a problem with mine. Thanks again!

    skid plate is out of adjustment your transmission is shot and or clutch pads are worn,or clutch pads need to be lightly sanded with emery cloth and and cluth pad spring needs to be stretched

  • @carmenpaez9719
    @carmenpaez9719 Рік тому

    Very grateful with all I have learned with you, Sr. My question is that my washer machine doesn't have the ring that you remove in minute 10:35. I have already change the Clutch assembly, shaft Direct Drive, washer motor coupling, water bomb, and many other little tings , but it still make a lot of noise between wash and spin. And I can't find the ring between the shaft and the clutch assembly. I think that's the problem, but , since I got my washer machine used, I really don't know what happened with it.

    @larrycox2262 Рік тому

    I ran into a problem that I never expected. There should be a video about this! The direct drive couplers in newer machines have steel shaft bushings. The older had plastic. I had a bad clutch and got to the coupler the half attached to the Transmission had a crack in the plastic. I tried to remove it. The bushing had seized to the Transmission. I used WD40 and soaked and pulled over a period of hours. The thing would not budge and all the plastic was destroyed up. I tried to pry it lose the seal in the transmission came out. In hindsight I should have drilled the bushing. I prefer the plastic couplers.

    Thanks for the great video! My problem is, if left unattended my washer drains but fails to spin. However, if I hear it draining the water and then raise and relower the lid, I hear the drive engage and the spin cycle will actually start. To me, it sounds like some sort of clutch issue. For $20, it can't hurt to replace it on my 15 yr old washer. Thanks again!

    I just finished replacing the clutch on my washing machine. Great video! It helped me do the job easily. One question I have is when I lifted the washer off its back and set it upright, there was the sound of a small metal object hitting tile. Lifting it back up I found a small gold color piece that looks very much like a common head nail, about 1.5 inches long, with a hold through the pointed tip that looks like something a cotter pin or retaining clip of some sort would go through to keep it in place. I set the washer on its back and looked all through it, but nothing seemed out of place. Any idea what this "nail" is for? Thanks again for a really great video!!

    Its a Simpson eziset750, the tub turns clockwise so much then locks, and if I turn it anti clockwise it starts clicking.... while its washing, it agitates only in clockwise direction. If I hold the agitator and spin the tub it moves so far in each direction before locking(and no clicking). thanks for the quick response. Karl

    Hi. Thanks for the video. After repairing my washer I found a part that fell out of the washer. I could not find out where it went until watching this video. At 6:41 you can see this part, a clear long cup that clips on to the frame. It is to the left of the transmission, right next to the empty hole along the edge. I am trying to figure out what this part it for.

  • @hyper73212
    @hyper73212 12 років тому

    I posted on another great video of yours about the agitator not spinning with the drum during spin cycle. I thought maybe belt, only to find its a direct drive motor. I guess that helps narrow it down lol.. I took the washer agitator off completely to observe it during spin cycle and noticed that grooved shaft does not spin, tho the metal disc and plastic base does spin. Watching this video, it seems the next logical step would be to try this, do you think so? Thanks so much

  • @rossdc
    @rossdc 11 років тому

    Very comprehensive video, sir, and well done. My washer tub and agitator function normally, but I'm guessing the clutch is the source of initially loud, tapering-off screeching that occurs as the spin cycle spools up. Before I pull this thing apart, what do you think?

  • @rdietz68
    @rdietz68 3 роки тому

    At 18:42 - Should you lubricate the spline shaft with waterproof grease before you reinstall the agitator? When I took mine off for this procedure.. it had some type of original greasy residue.

    I have a whirlpool cabrio WTW6340WW0 Whirlpool Washer that vibrates really bad during low speed spin cycle. I have replaced the suspension rods, leveled the washer, pulled the drum, no noise coming from drum shaft or play from shaft, checked motor bolt for tightness .it seems like its missing more suspension parts on the bottom drum. any thoughts on what else I can check.

    Hello I have a whirlpool estate washer, and i noticed that my clothes were still soaking wet when the washer has finished spinning. So I turned the washer back on to spin cycle and I can stop the tub from spinning with my hand very easily do I need a new clutch or a transmission? The model number for my whirlpool estate is tawx700jq1 any help would be a plus thank you for your time.

    Need help... I did the clutch repair on a LSR7010pq1. The center shaft was corroded and would not come out. Took a lot of effort, hammering and time but I got it out. I removed the inner spin basket thinking it would help me get the shaft out. Wrong.
    The drive block is stuck in the basket and no amount of hammering with a 4lb mallet will set it free. Replaced clutch and reassembled without issue. The drive block was very difficult to tighten and get it to lock on the shaft. But I got it tight. Now when empty, Low spin is fine but in high spin it goes violently out of balance.
    I checked the suspension components and they are all in tact. The Spin basket remained attached to the shaft after several tests.
    Not sure what went wrong. I think it is related to the drive block or the basket. What confuses me is that it is fine on low spin.
    I am going to run it without the Spin basket to see what happens.
    Any Ideas what my problem is ?

    My washer Whirlpool Washer LSR6332KQ0 agitates but will not spin. I also smell a faint burning rubber smell when it tries. I can prop the lid open and spin it by hand, which after going fast enough performs a normal spin cycle. My question is: what part of the clutch broke? Do I need a whole new clutch or just the clutch band?

    I have a whirlpool ultimate care II and it will aggitate but not spin on occasion. When this occurs, I manually rotate the basin clockwise maybe 1/4 a turn. It becomes very tight to turn and it typically makes a click then it will spin. What part needs to be fixed? Thank you!

    what would be the symptom that would lead me to believe I need a new clutch assembly? It bangs when it stops or starts a different cycle. I thought that is what I needed. thats why Iam here on this site. I just exchanged the lid switch and pump cuz it wouldnt drain. But it still bangs and not in a good way. LOL advice? Good video BTW.

    This great video has helped tremendously in disassembly. I have a Sears Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV washing machine model no. 110.92593220. Water for wash runs fine, but agitation and spin cycles make a constant grinding noise although there is no visible tub/basket motion during agitation and spin. The coupling is not broken, and I am not sure if the motor, clutch, or gear case/transmission is the issue. Any suggestions?

  • @Jabelivy1

    how can you diagnose whether its the clutch or transmission that is broken? My washer is making a loud buzzing sound and nothing is spinning or moving.

    Stuck on the bolt retaining the agitator. My washer has a carbon steel bolt which rusted and ruined the head. The socket would not grab. Trying to extract the bolt. May have to destroy the agitator.

    I have the exact same issue as dcanimaltube above-- raising/lowering the lid causes the spin cycle to engage- otherwise it continues the cycle without spinning, though the water is dispensed correctly (resulting in wet clothes). Is that definitely a clutch issue?
