whirlpool toploader

[bzz67]

i have been out on call today to repair a whirlpool toploader which wont spin under load, the cappacitor checks out ok,and the drive coupling is fine i think the fault could be in the clutch. anyone else come across this fault? how easy is it to fit a new clutch?

model number:3LSC8255DQO

Thanks.

Re: whirlpool toploader

Are you definite that the drive coupling is ok? the “flats” on the plastic sometimes get “rounded”

If it is the clutch then they are available and are not to hard to fit if you can get the cabinet off and have enough room to work that is 😉

Re: whirlpool toploader

There’s several possibles for this…

1) drive tube
2) block
3) clutch
4) gearbox

You’re gonna have to strip it to see what you need.

collectively all the parts are very expensive, no use going with the wrong bit.
