You better but on your life alert thing cause you may have trouble getting off the floor you old goat.
Having a terrible time right now. Trying to put up that stator in right side of picture. Weighs about 10 lbs and got a plastic cover that goes behind it. Trying to hold, align and start a bolt all at the same time. So far it's winning. I need one of them panic button thingy's.
Thanks to Slabbin for the moral support. I got here up and running like a new one. Wife going to be so proud of me:Rofl:Rofl probably be more like what took you so long.
Your welcome
I knew you could do it.
4 hr's labor and 58.00 worth of parts vs 1200. For new machine. I was gonna get it or make Slabbin come do it for me. Be a toss up which one got outa breath first. Be like 2 beached whales laying there in the floor.
:Rofl:Rofl
Well....
You saved a bunch of your jig money

I watched YouTube to learn how to fix the dishwasher, two refrigerators, the dryer, and the washing machine. There's generally a video on every model out there if you look around, and yes Da Wifey thinks I'm pretty darn smart... That washing machine motor is one heavy sucker, but I saved enough to go fishin a few more times! Good job cray!
I just replaced the motor this winter. Motor was under warranty,so was free. Hardest part was them spring clips that hold the motor in.
Actually this one does not have a motor per say. It uses a stator just like the stator on a outboard except runs like a motor instead of charging. The stator bolts on then it has a flywheel with magnets that slides on to the splined drive shaft for the drum. This is one of those high effency machines and on spin cycle it really turns up the RPM's. Couldn't turn those speeds with a regular motor and gear box. Kind of interesting how they designed it to work like it does. Got a bunch of coils on the stator and I'm guessing it turns on and off different sets of coils to make it go back and forth while agitating and less coils for slow spin while pumping out then adds more coils for faster speed. If I had laid the machine flat on its back installing all that stuff wouldn't have been such a problem. That one you just did is a lot tuffer. You need 4 hands in a space for one.Quote:

Just fixed my dryer, we should team up cray! Fish in the mornings and fix washers and dryers in afternoon!
Whirlpool Cabrio, one of those high effency . Uses very little water. Spins so fast and so long clothes are almost dry when you take them out.dosnt do a very good job on my work clothes. Dosnt really get them clean unless you just wash a few pieces at a time. This is a top load but works like a front load.Quote:
