model-3rgsc9455jq1
will only dribble water out when on spin
i have checked the motor + coupling
have had the pump off and looks fine
checked all relevent hoses for blockage
but still drains too slow
anybody out there got any ideas????
am thinking only thing left is motor not going fast enough
please helpRe: whirlpool t/loader
I’d try another pump first, if the socket is worn then the motor shaft could be slipping.
To just dribble out the motor would have to running extremely slow.
Description does sound like a blockage or slipping pump though.Brian
Re: whirlpool t/loader
I’m with Brian on this 😉 the impellor may be stripped in the pump, also some of these T/L pumps have a none return valve in the outlet, have a look and see that this isn’t the prob. 🙂
MalPS there is also a spacer fitted over the motor shaft, check this.
Re: whirlpool t/loader
Had a button stuck in waste hose that opened when i rodded hose but when emptying closed off hose like a valve.

I have had the holes in the inner tub all blocked with soap and scale. I just poked a small screwdriver through every one. It took ages, but cured the fault
Re: whirlpool t/loader
The pump is 481936018249
IIRC the “top hat washer” is not available as a spare part, comes as part of the motor 😈

Re: whirlpool t/loader
No wonder then that many years ago when i was contracting for Whirlpool I spent weeks trying to source that little bit of plastic that coupled the motor shaft to the pump, Even WP spares didn’t know the part number :evil:. So for a part that costs pence you have to buy the complete motor. Nuts or what?

Re: whirlpool t/loader
Not wanting to contradict John, a whilpool expert after all, but there is a part number for those top hat thangs as I have obtained a few over the years, most for customers that have changed a pump and thrown it away on the old pump and once by me, learing from my mistakes. Have searched for the part number but cannot find it right now but they are out there….

If you can get that number Mark I will buy you a drink at Sibson, I have tried to get this on numerous occasions with no joy.
If you post the number I will stick it into ASTRO and see if the part can be ordered.

John
Got a couple of these things lying around.
Consequence of never throwing anything away.
Never seem to need one though 8)
But I will gladly exchange them for pints of the black stuff at Sibson 😆Steve
