  • jonnyjv47 Jan 26, 2009

    Thanks for getting back to me. There is NO motor coupling between the motor and transmission. I did notice on the bottom of the transmision there is a round copper cylinder.The coil in the cylinder is broke.It looks like the coppper just snapped.Can you buy just this piece or do you have to buy the whole transmission.I looked on the Sears site but it doesn't show this part.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the fluid. There is no way to really check and it isn't normal transmission fluid. If it's making a noise in the regular cycle but not the gentle it may be that the trans is going bad. You might want to check on the motor coupling though and see how it is. That is the small round piece that sits between the trans and the motor. If it is getting worn out or starting to break it will cause noise. Check on that though and if it looks bad to you replace it. It's cheap and easy. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me and also let me know if this was helpful to you. Good luck and glad to help.

    It sounds like you have a belt drive motor washing machine. A belt drive won't have a motor coupling as it is replaced by the mess of belt that goes around everything. Sears most likely won't have any parts on the website but what you can do is call the Sears Home Repair center and talk to someone there about getting one of those parts. They can either order it for you or refer you to a place to get it. If you have an appliance repair shop in your town they would have the part you need. Just to let you know though, a belt drive washing machine is very hard to work on. Even a lot of technicians have problems with them. If a part on your washer has started having problems though, you may want to think about getting a new machine. Once a part goes bad on a belt drive, you will see more problems start to arise. That has been my experience with them at least. Let me know if you have any other questions though. Good luck to you though with what ever you choose to do.

Front load washer problems
Hello,Most likely this will be the drum bearings.
Bearings normally last quite a long time but some will fail sooner than others. Quite often bearing failure is due to a faulty drum shaft seal which allows a small amount of water through and in to the bearings. The bearings then start to rust, which then accelerates the wear on the bearings.
Thanks

Kenmore washer spins on gentle cycle but not on regular cycle
It sounds like you have a busted coupler. It's what connects the motor to the transmission. They will bust, letting the machine work unless it's under a load. It then spreads out and the motor shaft spins inside the coupler.

It makes a terrible groining noise on spin cycle
find out if the agitator moves on wash if not then it is most likely a motor couplier. No big deal to change. You can also just tip the washer back and look under and look between the motor and transmisson and see if the couplier is still in good condition

Making a lot noise when washing cyles
Hi, The most common noise in the wash cycle is the agitator not working properly. While the washer is going, raise the lid and notice if the top half of the agitator is working. If it is not moving, you will need to change the dog kit inside the agitator. The other noise I hear most is the coupler slipping on the shaft of the motor. If the coupler is bad, the washer will not spin the clothes dry either.
Please let me kow if this helps you or if I can assist you further.

Washer won't spin
Check the washer motor. Make sure that the motor is getting correct voltage and is working and spinning when you turn it on. It sounds like the motor is bad. You can remove the back cover to get to the motor to check it out

2001 dodge stratus r/t
What brings on this question might I ask? Low engine out put from the unlikely stuck or burnt valve could upset the transmisson shift points. TPS signal is based on a pre mapped torque curve. If the power isn't there then yes the transmisson could have issues. What makes you feel there is a problem with the intake valve? And also is this the 2.7L engine?
