Clutches For DD Washers
WP sells a Heavy Duty 6 pad clutch for DD washers that you will never waer out even if you make your washer do spin drains.
Designing and installing a magnetic clutch would likely be very costly, I would guess it could easily cost between $3000.00 and $6000.00. I think that you would be crazy to want to make the washer spin drain, doing so turns your clean clothing into a sediment, dirt and lint filter, your clothing will not be as clean or well rinsed and will turn dingy over time compared to allowing the machine to operate as designed, to say nothing of more balance problems that could even cause the washer not to always get up to full speed resulting in wetter laundry. WP tried to get away with making the DD washers spin drain and it was a dismal failure, every washer built today in neutral drain, except SQ TL washers, and they soon will be. John L. | ||

Which one? I want which latch to remove so I don't screw the transmission up. Here I have a picture of the spin gear removed so you can tell me which one to remove. Do you remove the left, right, or rear piece?

@ combo52 I use that washer STRICTLY for SHOP RAGS, so it doesn't matter if they're dirty or not. And plus, I could super glue neodymium magnets to both sides, so that could work for the clutch. Also, could you plz send link for the heavy duty clutch? THX, Kitty | ||
