Remove the belt cover with 5/8 ratchet or wrench.
Using a ratchet or wrench remove the one bolt holding the clutch in place .

Gear stripped on main spline
Followed detailed instructions which were supplied with the parts. It was easy and my machine is working great with no issues. Also I just didn’t get the main drive pulley, all new parts came for the bottom end, great service and excellent parts.

Washer was stuck on rinse cycle
Research showed it was the transmission and the actuator . Parts were super easy to install and it solved the issue 100%

PS - I put some light lithium grease on the transmission and it’s quieter than it was when new

When the washer goes into a spin cycle, I would hear an intermittent loud clattering noise. I think the clutch teeth above (the cup part that is spring loaded) and the belted pulley's teeth below are not fully seating on each other during the spin cycle.
W10721967 Splutch Cam Kit

Assuming the pulley nut was properly tightened at the factory. I think this problem occurs because of ever-so-slight rounding of the splutch cam teeth from the actuator engaging and disengaging over whatever time frame there is before a clattering noise develops.

When I took off the 13mm nut using the adjustable strap tool, it felt tight to me...Was it put on as tight as it should have been at the factory? Who knows. I don't have the torque specification of this nut on that plastic pulley.

Watch the videos to remove and replace the belt cover and belt, actuator and splutch cam kit.

Pay particular attention to tightening up the nut. I put the pulley on and hand-tightened the nut. I used the adjustable strap tool and before I tightened everything, I pushed up on the pulley to press against the spring pressure in order to mesh the teeth together. After the nut was tight, I repositioned the strap tool and gave it another go, further tightening it. You see earlier that day, I only tightened it up once because I thought it was good and tight. I put everything back and within a half-hour it was clattering again and I could loosen the nut I thought was tight by hand! I fooled myself. That's why I did it twice, and don't be afraid to give it a good second tightening effort. Two weeks now and the wife is currently very happy.

The order is back at your warehouse. Please give me my refund!! Plus I have emailed your CS dept. numerous times with NO answer, only automated.

My washer is making a load noise like a bad bearing in spin cycle. It will also make a noise with the tub empty when its spun by hand. Could this be the clutch or possibly the bearing in the gear case. Thanks
For model number MVWX700XW1
PartSelect logo
Hi Chris, Thank you for your question. It looks like most of the time when you are having that sort of issue, the clutch and the gearcase are the parts that are most likely causing it. It sounds like it is just a wear and tear issue so you should be able to see if any of your parts there have simply just worn down. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I replaced suspension rods and now when my washer is on spin cycle it makes a loud banging noise and jumps and bounces all over the place which part should i inspect for damages
For model number ntw4650yq0
PartSelect logo
Hello Bill, thank you for your question. We would recommend checking drive block PartSelect Number PS11741977. If the Drive Block is damaged it can cause the tub to be off balance and cause it to shake. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

It goes thru all the cycles and agitates. Once it gets to the rinse, the agitator spins up but the basket starts to spin and can't keep up making a slipping sound. This causes it to wobble and vibrate which shuts down the spin cycle. I did inspect the clutch cam and the teeth are not worn down. Could this really be the clutch cam, belt, or the splutch? I did put in a new actuator with no new result.
For model number MVWC400XW4
PartSelect logo
Hello Evan, thank you for your question. I would definitely suggest replacing the Clutch W10721967, especially if the actuator was replaced already. You may want to replace the belt as a precaution while your're in there. A worn belt can cause slippage as well. I hope this helps!

My machine would start the wash cycle but would not run the spin/drain cycle and would stop - clothes would be wet - we were able to put it on drain/spin for a little while and now it won't do that
For model number MVWC450XW2
PartSelect logo
Hi John, Thank you for your question. The first part that I would suggest you check is your lid latch assembly. It sounds like that part has failed and will not let you go into your spin cycle any longer. The other part you would want to check is your shift actuator and then this part, you clutch assembly. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The tub will not agitate. But the tub will spin? So is it partselect #ps10057144 what i need to fix this problem?
For model number MVWX655dwo
PartSelect logo
Hi Norman, Thank you for your question. The clutch assembly is one part that will fix the issue. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the drive belt, the lid latch assembly, the washplate, the shield and the hub. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Washer makes loud whining noise on spin cycle. Also keeps stripping out wash plate splines.
For model number WTW5640XW0
PartSelect logo
Hello Jim, Thank you for contacting us. This generally occurs when the washer has been overloaded. It may also indicate that there is something caught between the wash plate and the tub. I hope this helps.

Guy
December 20, 2017
At the end of a wash clothes are rapped around the agitator in a ball ,could this be caused by the clutch brake? If so what part is it. Thank you, guy
For model number WTW4800XQ
PartSelect logo
Hi Guy, Thank you for your question. Based on what you described, it does sound like the clutch. The clutch may be rusted and worn and you will need to inspect it to see if it is cause of the clothes wrapping around the agitator. I would also check the agitator directional cogs located at the top of the agitator to see if they have come loose. Sometimes this may cause the issue as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Motor will not turn during gentle agitation or low spin test in the manual test mode. It hums. It will spin if i give the belt a little pull when in the agitate test mode. The motor will turn in the agitate and spin tests if i remove the belt. I replaced the capacitor, but still have the same problem. Does this indicate i need a new clutch assembly?
For model number MVWC400XW2
PartSelect logo
Hi Gary, Thank you for the question.If there is no loud noise like a grinding the clutch should be ok. Your issue sounds like the motor is defective and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!
