Your video was excellent! Thank you for making such an easy step by step process. I just replaced mine and it now works great! Biggest problem I had was getting the shaft out. I had to hit it with a sledge hammer so hard that it actually broke the sealed unit spilling oil onto my floor. But I eventually got it- I could not believe how hard that was to pull out!
This is by far the best, to-the-point guide on replacing the transmission. Fixed for me, too. The most trouble I had was the unit's four bolt sizes for the transmission - not 3/8". I had to work with 10mm. Thanks for the great show!
Mine is three years old and just started doing this. At first it was squeaking and grinding like a bearing was going out. A few loads later this noise. Since then I have researched the replacement item and can buy it for around $150. Thanks to you I will be doing it with a handyman coworker at my work. Our shop has all the tools.
thank you so much for the video. saved me a lot. it was impossible to remove the transmission from mine. would not budge. finally grabbed a 30 lb. sledge hammer and banged it out to the very end.
Excellent video. 9.9/10 just because I had a lot of trouble getting that plastic U-Clip back in the hub but i finally figured it out by shaving with a steak knife and whittling it down and then putting it all the way clicked in before I put the hub down over the transmission i had to force it down but after getting to the end of the job and spending over an hour just on that U-clip. (Last step) i was very relieved to see it was in, then i just tapped it back far enough to get the screw in that slot and I was able to tack it back into place.
Ours doesn’t make noise while spinning like here…. Buuuuut, damn it makes a super hard knock at the end of spin cycle.. not sure what to do there. Just replaced the dogs in the agitator(noise is not new). I’m guessing it’s some sort of brake? If you have any ideas,I’d appreciate it. I like that fast forward ya got goin’.. cool to watch!
not sure if you figured it out, you can google your make and model or if you want to be sure, there is a part number on the actual part your can reference
thanks for the video. My problem is when it first 2 spin (when it rinse and spin), it's shaking the machine with a banging loud noise that it move the machine around. However, the last spining ( I assume less heavy load because the water is almost empty) is very quiet. Any advice?
I am having this problem with my whirlpool top loader. I have a mechanic coming next Wednesday. Do you think he will be able to fix it? I’m praying he doesn’t have to order the parts. I need to use my washer asap.
I encountered this problem after I replaced the actuator on my washer. That's crazy if my sealed bearings went the very next wash cycle after I replaced the actuator/tachometer
So if I don’t have the extra $175 available till next payday(not for two weeks) and I can deal with the loud noise, is it ok to use the washer??? Basically, is it just annoying but since I can deal with the freight train in my washroom, it’s ok to wash clothes??? Really appreciate anyone that helps with their knowledge!
Eventually, the bearings will seize, and the drum will stop spinning (might also damage the tub seal/tub). Will that happen in two weeks? Probably not, but don't hold me to it, lol!
My mvwc565fw1 maytag washer bangs around even with no clothes in it. Replaced springs already same thing thing. What could be the problem. Would a bad transmission cause this?
I have an washer that just started doing this. It’s an older top-loading Frigidaire. It doesn’t have the sealed transmission box like this one. I’m looking for a video on how to fix it. I think it will be more complex than this repair, unfortunately.
Mine sounds like its slipping and never engages in a full fast spin. Cranks up to spin, makes an awful noise and just lets it free spin until it winds down. Could this be the problem?
What about Maytag washer that sounds exactly like tv or radio static. Only lasts 7-10 seconds . The weird thing is it sounds like radio static amplified by 20 arena rock speakers. It’s and ungodly noise and ends as abruptly as it starts . It does not sound mechanical and I don’t smell electrical or ozone, it always stops when I go to investigate and only shows up may be 1 in 19 cycles.
My whirlpool washer only screams during the braking cycle of spin, when it is trying to slow the tub from spinning. Any ideas. Is that a transmission issue as well?
If you have an older one chances are it just needs some grease around the basket drive where the brakes pads are located. That is IF it is a direct drive style whirlpool. You can unclip the pump off the motor, then drop the transmission with the motor still on it to get to the basket drive
There is a manual test mode that you can out the washing machine into which will allow you to test the spin and drain without water. There are a lot of good videos/instructions online on how to get into manual test mode. Perhaps I'll make a video on it in the future.
@@DuctTapeMechanic awesome sounds great thank you,it would be great to see a more detailed video and description into the manual test to know more about it and what to do and not to, in my case i just dismantled everything since well it seems it turned out to be the transmission after i bought the 2 pieces that we're above and below of it 😅 so yeap another washing machine cause Damm whirlpools are annoying
You must not be using it right. Ive had mine 12 years and the bearings just now started getting loud so I did what this video told me to and I cleaned everything while i had it apart and by god it runs, smells🙃, sounds, looks, and feels like brand new
Sounds like a bad transmission, but I can't say for certain without being there. Try spinning the basket with your hand and listening for a howling noise
Fantastic video this is exactly what's wrong with my washing machine but how do I reach him? I want to talk to him and see if he would be able to come and repair mine but I have not been able to find any way to contact him does anybody know? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️Does he have an email address or a phone number there's nothing listed on these videos!!!🤬😬😡🤦🏽🤦🏽☹️☹️
This is too much! My machine is a Whirlpool, not even a year old, and making a sound just like in the video! I’m sick of it and will never buy another Whirlpool ever again!
I love it when kinda ordinary folks do amazing things that save the kinda average guys like me some money and time. Great video! I hereby subscribe!
Thank you for the support! Much appreciated!
I like the way you showed how to remove the transmission when it was stuck. Nice work
Glad you liked it!

You're welcome! Yes, sometimes they can be a pain to get out. I sometimes use a 2×4 wood piece and a hammer on the shaft.

I'm glad I could help! Yes, sometimes they are really seized up in there!
Thank you for this video. It showed me this is not a DIY project that I can complete. Will be calling a repair person later today.
You are welcome! Sometimes, knowing when to stop is the best option

Mine is 3 years old and it just started doing this. Thanks.
Make a video of it spinning
Thanks for demonstrating why I should just cash these things in for scrap when I get them! 😂
Great work and nice video, I do not have the skills like you, I am going with a new machine. Thanks.😀
At least you made an effort! Appreciate the kind words!
This is extremely helpful. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I would love to see the transmission repair. My transmission has rusted splines😢
love the name of your channel
Thank you!
Great videos very informative, good job
Thank you!
Where do i find the part number for the transmission replacement? My washing machine looks just like the one from your video.
not sure if you figured it out, you can google your make and model or if you want to be sure, there is a part number on the actual part your can reference
Excellent video. Thanks!

Sounds like bad suspension rods
My whirpool not only made loud noise, it shifted as well and cloth were not draining if I used large and super load.
I am having this problem with my whirlpool top loader. I have a mechanic coming next Wednesday. Do you think he will be able to fix it? I’m praying he doesn’t have to order the parts. I need to use my washer asap.
What if it makes a grinding/screeching noise at the end of the spin cycle?
I have same problem
Mine did the same. I changed the pulley belt and solved the noise.
I encountered this problem after I replaced the actuator on my washer. That's crazy if my sealed bearings went the very next wash cycle after I replaced the actuator/tachometer
Stanger indeed!
Post a video of your machine and provide the model number
Thanks, my toploading Maytag screeches during spin cycle. Could it be the same problem? Also there is no tag with serial number on machine.
Most likely the same issue, particularly of you have a machine with 6 led lights followed by a pause play button (they are all made by whirlpool)
Check right underneath your lid… back side of the washer,top side of the drum,it’s kinda hidden…..ours had a upc,along with model number
Mine squeals when it spins, even when I turn it by hand. Any suggestions on why that might be? I've already changed the seals & bearings.
The bearings are probably common. I’d like to see you try to replace them after removing trans and shaft. Might need a press.
You dont replace the bearings ,they are in the gearcase
Also replace the tub seal
So if I don’t have the extra $175 available till next payday(not for two weeks) and I can deal with the loud noise, is it ok to use the washer??? Basically, is it just annoying but since I can deal with the freight train in my washroom, it’s ok to wash clothes??? Really appreciate anyone that helps with their knowledge!

@@DuctTapeMechanic thx for the speedy reply… greatly appreciated!!!
Mine has been like this for about 2 years now. Works fine just loud as hell. I just leave the house when the machine is running lol

Often a sign of a bad drive hub or tub
Very helpful video I have subscribed
Thank you!
If you make a video of the bearing replacement I would love to see it if they even make a bearing that you can buy for that

Can I do the same with my g e washer
New style ge washers are very similar
Mine sounds like its slipping and never engages in a full fast spin. Cranks up to spin, makes an awful noise and just lets it free spin until it winds down. Could this be the problem?
It sounds like an issue with the clutch (which is a much easier repair). Check out my video on it!:

Could be belt shipping. Those make all sorts of weird noises
What causes the bearings to go bad? I have a whirlpool doing this and it’s only two years old.
Poor quality bearings!

Thank you sir. Mine is doing this and I cant afford a new one right now.

Bad bearing/transmission
@@DuctTapeMechanic Bearing failure is very common on this particular washer
How can i test the spin or rinse spins without putting water on it? So i can fix and work on it much better

What is the trick to get the wash plate out of a rusted spindle?
Wd40 and a lot of rocking the wash plate up and down
I have a whirlpool washer that makes a horrible grinding noise at the end of the spin cycle not during any idea ?
Most likely the shift actuator. The part he pulls off at 3:30 in this video
Thanks so much very helpful
You're welcome!
Never buying Maytag again, this thing hasn’t lasted 3 years and it’s already falling apart.

That’s a lot of work. I will never buy a Whirlpool again
Unfortunately, quality has gone down across all brands...
What’s the part number
Best thing to do is look at the part number on the transmission you are removing
Diy milestone
Loud while spinning ! Stop washing bricks
Lol
