Yuck! I did notice that the newer WP Duets no longer have an access door on the front to get to that pump protecter/filter thing. Wonder what that's all about? |

Duets never had an access door. You had to stand on your head to remove the center screw from the lower panel and the two other screws to access the innards. This looks like a decaying bird. Sorry. |

I stand corrected re: duet access door. It's pretty clear that the pump protector served its intended purpose, though... |

Where are you sourcing the seal from?? I've got a Duet torn down, for a number on months -- not high on my list, but need a decent seal. I bought my last one from the guy online but felt the shipping was price gouging. looking for a good source. |

Not my machine. Doing the project for my neighbor to use the pair stacked at a foreclosure he's remodeling for rental. Same neighbor of the Catalyst project last year. The set was obtained via CraigsList. Seller had listed only the dryer. The washer had been "abandoned" at the local Whites Western Auto after diagnosis of bad bearings. Seller said he could try getting it back and toss it in for "free" with the dryer deal, which he did. MattL had been reporting on his bearing replacement project at the time so I figured I'd try it. Unfortunately the peeps at the store cracked the outer cover on the door. Seller said it was not cracked prior to leaving the machine there. The store gave him a spare door but it's the wrong design (duhhhhh). The crack is cosmetic but Mr. Neighbor wants to replace the cover, which is the most expensive of the short-list of needed parts. I may yet convince him to take the cover off and do without. My only other concern at this point is whether the spider has enough "life" remaining to justify the project. The arms aren't bad but the center around the shaft has some corrosion. A new drum/spider tips the project over to "uhhhh, maybe not" territory. I need to remove the spider to clean all the smutz, I suppose whether or not it breaks is an indication. |

Hi Glen, what a mucker, looks like you`ll need a hazmat suit with that!!
Wonder what type of detergent ( if any) was being used and programme selection!! Many of our older machines used a vortex pump which had vanes and flushed everything through to drain....new machines do have traps but must admit have never seen a pump and spider so bad - best of luck!! |

That Whirlpool eliminated the lower access panel to eliminate cabinet vibration issues. I never noticed any major noise that I'd blame on that lower panel, myself. My personal thought was that it would make it 'more cost efficient' to stamp only one panel during production. As to trying to access the clean out on a washer full of water and why isn't there a easier way to get to it without dismantling the whole pos, very seldom have I seen Whirlpool actually try to make the servicer's lives easier. I just wish that they would regularly involve a few techs when designing things...

I see a Duet washer that is similar to mine that's almost 8 yrs old, I have to wonder what my spider looks like on it.....but I'm not taking it apart to find out..Even if I wanted to, I don't know how and would be terrified to attempt such a thing.
I'm not so sure I would go through this project.......That spider doesn't look that great....It would be a shame to do all of that work only for it to disintegrate in a few months.... |

my toughts on this and what might of cause this is that the previous user of this washer must of used non he detergent when these m,achines are ment to be used with he detergent like any type of front load washers unless the detergent is formulated for both he and non he washers in other words for all machines.

Looks like WP set out to make cleaning the pump protector a service call type procedure by not having an access port. |

I do know who owned the machine (a local insurance agent), but I have no specific information on their usage habits. I could call the fellow and question him but no doubt he'd find that to be extremely odd, LOL. I will conjecture that it had a diet of liquid detergent (the dispenser drawer insert is in the liquid position, although that may not be meaningful). I will conjecture that a lot of cold or low-temp washes were run. There is NO mineral scale buildup on the heating element so I would assume the element was never utilized for a "super hot" wash. And no bleach washes. It reeks of a mild sewer odor. The tub and drum are near, if not AT, "hazardous bioagent" status (not to mention the pump per pic above). I've cleaned half the outer tub, sprayed it with bleach and all the mold/mildew stains are cleared ... one would assume that use of chlorine bleach on a regular basis would have had an appreciable effect. Rear half of the outer tub. Bottom/sump is at the right. The lighter area is sunlight. The object stuck near the sump is a piece of foam from a shoulder pad. |

Questions for folks more experienced than myself: Is it a reasonable proposal to remove the spider and treat it with POR-15, if it's still sturdy enough to be used? Is removing the spider a bad idea? It's available only part-and-parcel attached to the drum, so maybe it shouldn't be pulled off ... which kinda presents a problem for dealing with the ick accumulation behind it. |

The spider is not going to come off ... at least not under my effort. Don't know if the anchor screws are sealed with something, tried one (T35) and slightly damaged it so that's the end of that. Gave it an initial spray-down and the most A-L-A-R-M-I-N-G mass of lint and smutz flushed from behind. Will apply a pressure washer tomorrow. I'm halfway considering replacing the basket/spider, just for reason of doing the job better and longer-lasting (assuming the bearing deal is successful) but that would up the cost by more than double. Got the seal and two bearings out and rear tub cleaned. |

The bearing seal is identified as 50mm x 100mm x 13.5 mm (shaft diameter x outer diameter x thickness). Doing some online searching/research, I don't find that exact specification. I do find 50mm x 100mm x 10mm. Looking back at MattL's thread from his project, the "Handyman" guy sources a 50mm x 100mm x 10mm seal. Hmmmm. Also interesting. Parts diagram for "current" Duet model WFW9151YW shows the spider available as a separate item. An online source lists it for $87.48. However, GHW9400PW4 is the model at hand, which lists a different complete drum than WFW9151YW, so I don't know if perhaps the drum sizes are slightly different or 9151 mounts the spider differently, or something. |

It's gross to see all of that but I'm really not surprised in the least. I think there are probably many many washers currently in operation that are in such a state. A tampon applicator? That reminds me - someone once told me that if you open a tampon in the dark, it makes a *spark*! I never tried it.

@mark_wpduet: Dunno about the tampon thing, but I remember hitting Wint-O-Green Life Savers with a hammer in the dark when I was a kid just to see the sparks. |

You can also see the "sparks" in Wint-O-Green Lifesavers by standing in front of a mirror in the dark and biting them with your mouth open-You can see the sparks and eat them and not waste them by not having to hit them with a hammer. |

I don't know if it perhaps *shouldn't* be disassembled but this pump is so nasty that I had to do something to deal with it. The motor attaches (and detaches) to the hose housing via three screws. My question is, the impeller is very loose and wobbly to the point that I'm thinking it's broken. It does turn by hand and the rotor turns with a strong cogging effect. Sorry for the quick-and-dirty video quality. ">Wobbly Pump Impeller Seems to be damage on the impeller where it anchors to the shaft. Fatal? |

Some of the pumps are kind of generic. On my first and oldest Duet I replaced the pump it was in much the same shape as yours appears to be --not mucked up and such but loose. The WP replacement was $69, however the exact same pump from GE was $19.99 go figure. |

Whirlpool only sells a full pump housing & motor. I found a source for just the motor at a much more reasonable price. Unfortunately the new motor arrived with damage. I wasn't aware until assembly and testing that it's fatal damage ... Beware F a c t o r y A p p l i a n c e P a r t s . c o m. The fellow denied my request for replacement of the damaged item, said all items are tested & inspected before shipping. It was packaged OK and there's no puncture or evidence of an impact on the box, so that leaves a choice of what cause? |

It wasn't an eBay transaction but I did pay via PayPal, so contacted them for a dispute. However, I decided to fix the crack rather than wait for the seller to respond to the dispute, and possibly be stuck having to find another pump. Waterproof marine epoxy, both outside and inside the motor housing. Anyone have an opinion on what's the prognosis for long-term integrity? |

It is impressive Dadoes! Looks shiny & new.......That's one model up from my duet. Mine is the GHW9300 or 9350 (can't remember the exact numbers) but nearing 8 years and still going strong..Still looks new & shiny. I think these are worth restoring because they seem to last. Or just maybe the fact that I'm the only one that has ever used it it's entire life could have something to do with it.

The marine epoxy product I used is suitable for fresh and salt water, temp to 200°F. The water level is disconcertingly low on Sanitary, Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites ... and likewise alarmingly high on the Delicate/Handwash cycle. I don't feel a need to adjust it. Keep in mind the machine is not mine and is destined for a rental property. I'm concerned that a frontloader isn't the best choice for use by (careless) renters but a stacked set is necessary for the location. There is a painful squealing noise much of the time, which I have diagnosed to the belt, which I did not (yet) replace. Is there any recourse to quietening the squeal other than replacement? Belt dressing? A dry lubricant such as cornstarch? Be nice if there were more options for heating, but this model is what it is. Sanitary cycle, which does seem to reach the target even starting with a cold fill. Whites and Heavy boosts hot and warm on the normal or heavy soil levels but only as far as the duration of the wash period allows. |

It's not a V-belt exactly. It's a multi-ribbed, stretch belt, similar to a dryer but wider. The motor pulley has matching grooves. The drum pulley has a smooth surface, not grooved. I imagine I'll replace the belt before it's put into service at the rental location. Still have the matching dryer to get cleaned up. |

Longer story short ... the pump motor source sent a replacement, but it's a different motor. Looks to be an LG item, has the terminals in a different arrangement. Duet harness plug won't connect, would have to be split apart and/or the two wires changed to separate spade connectors ... which I suppose can be done, but the LG pump may also be larger, possibly not mount on the pump housing. |

The inner diameter of the seal must match to the drum shaft, not to the bearing inner diameter. It mates to the shaft as indicated in this picture and must be water-tight there and to the larger outer diameter of the tub housing. The seal I used is 50mm (inner diameter) x 100mm (outer diameter) x 10mm (thickness). My original seal is 50mm x 100mm x 13.5mm. I could not find anything 13.5mm thickness at the required diameters. All Duet models aren't necessarily the same on seal and bearing sizes. Duet Sport is different, possibly others. Your original seal should have the dimensions somewhere on it. |

As I mentioned earlier I got a seal on ebay from China for $4.30 and it appears to be an almost exact match. The sizing will depend on the shaft size and the outer bearing size. You can either track the info down online or get a good caliper. |

I don't know a bearing from Bering ... well, maybe a little. Following MattL's example from January, I used these. Someone via another venue suggested that they may not be the most durable under the load circumstances that can occur. Nachi 6307-2NSE Nachi 6206-2NSE The seal is from an eBay storefront seller UltimateIndSolutions. The original seal has a 3rd "face" lip that mates to the "collar" flange on the drum shaft. This is my concern that the replacement seal, which doesn't have the 3rd lip, isn't up to the task. Other parts were from PartsDr.com, ApplianceZone.com, FactoryApplianceParts.com, and eBay. Online sources I've used for other projects are SearsPartsDirect.com, PartsTap.com, and RepairClinic.com. |
