You’re a genius! I’ve been researching this problem for weeks with little results. This solved the problem. THANK YOU!!!

Just want to say thank you for this. I tried this and it fixed my issue. Washer was jerking and moving several inches when is stopped. All good now!

You are the MAN! This worked perfect. My washer would twist a 1/4 turn with a loud crash every the spin stopped I thought it was Kool-aid man trying to break thru the wall BAM!! Now whisper quiet. Thank You!

BRO! I've basically rebuilt the whole washer and couldn't get rid of this issue! Thank you sir!

[raychow]

Awesome, as others have said, you sir are a genius! I had just replaced the coupler on my old whirlpool/Kenmore washer but when I fired up the spin cycle and stopped it, it stopped with a bang like you said. A dab of vasoline and now it stops smoothly like before. Great video!

Will try this on my maytag. Thank you.

Thank you. A little bit of grease did the job.. Hopefully keep the washer going for another bit.

The problem Im having is the tub bearing seems locked up. When you pushed that lever brake counter clockwise your tub spun fine. Mine wont. Motor was smoking. What is that part called? The brake pads do open but wont spin like it locked. Thanks for your videeos.

Dont put grease on it. Hold the tub while it starts to spin and slowly let it get up to speed. Them release the lid switch. If it still abruptly stops do it again. Never put grease on the brake. Ive been fixing these for over 22 years.

Oh yes, you save my washer and my you.

My Kenmore washer suddenly started making a loud banging noise at the start of the spin cycle, but it doesn't spin. Another video I watched said it is likely the coupler.

[lourdesrussell]

What if you can’t remove the brakes from the washer? Mine will come out a few centimeters then stop. I can’t pull it out all the way. I also can’t remove the washer tub. It lifts a little bit but feels like something is holding it in place. I can turn the tub but I can’t get it out either.

Will this help for my washer? After spin cycle there is a very loud clunking as it slows down.

Hello. I have a Kenmore 70 washer and it is extremely loud during the agitation cycle only. The dogs were good but I changed them anyways however it is still loud. It runs smooth and is quiet during spin cycle. Would you happen to know what it could be?

[greatsouthmarketing]

2 questions. Did you say this happens if its been sitting? Also, what about changing brake pads? Thanks
