Hey y'all;
I just got through putting a rebuilt transmission into my Whirlpool
direct-drive washer, and now whenever the spin cycle ends or I lift
the lid during the cycle, and the clutch engages to stop the drum from
turning, the machine emits a loud BANG noise and jerks itself several
inches across the floor. Scary!!!
This is new behavior - the transmission replacement was due to it just
plain dying (after leaking oil for five years - and being told by the
warranty repairman that "they all leak oil, that's normal" - but
that's another story). I did not notice any other broken or about-to-
break parts when I had the various pieces off. Everything was
reassembled as much as I can be sure of in exactly the same
configuration as it was before. The motor coupling pieces were in
fine shape (I have a spare set, just in case, but didn't need to use
it) , and I made sure that the "brake cam driver ... and drive tube"
did not "rest on the clutch spring on the new gearcase" (quotes from
the Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer DIY Manual). However, it seems to me
that maybe I needed to line something else up that was not mentioned
in the manual, or that I left something mis-aligned somehow inside the
clutch/driveshaft assembly... or that perhaps I mis-interpreted the
quoted passages?
Any ideas? Or even a photo? :-)
Thanks heaps,
kat
