Locktite, TM, is an excellent choice, as long as the nut engages three full turns on the threads. alternatively, if there is sufficient thread to use two pal nuts tightened against each other. The biggest problem is that to hold the retaining nut, being thin, requires a thin wrench, while the locking nut can use a regular wrench. If there is enough thread on the shaft for teo pal nuts, the regular locking nut may not engage the locking insert, in which I would use the Locktite. Are you sure you didn't install a thrust washer on the wrong side of the bearing mount, possibly not even intended but worth checking,

HI,
Sounds like your spindle has broke and you will have to replace the rear half of the outer tub and spin basket, this could be costly.. If you have the means, its time to replace the unit. I have done this repair and found the cost is high to the replacement cost of the unit. Before you run out a buy another unit, double check your warranty on the unit. If in warranty, you made need to have it looked at first before replacing the unit.
The last one I did cost over 600.00 to repair.
I hope this helps
I got a new Schwinn for my son and we went out today for the first time. Within 10 minutes the right pedal came off in the street. Having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Your tub is either outta balance i.e. could be bent or the spindle bent or wore out and if it doesn't have any rollers its riding on a spindle with a bearing and hitting something when it rolls around and should have a plastic glider on the front of the drum something definitely sounds broke if its sounding like that. Also if it has rubber fins on the inside make sure they are tight that could be another possibility. I would recommend you calling a qualified service technician to come and have a look at it if its that back spindle probably wont be worth fixing cost allot of money plus labor but till someone can physically look at it who works on them its to hard to diagnose over the internet sorry to tell you this but hope it helps some to at least check the fins.
The drive may be broke. It travels from the head to the engine. The drive spindle is attached in a hole at the engine and the engine rotates the spindle to rotate the head. The drive spindle must be broke inside the shaft, the engine or the head. If this is the case, a new weedeater will be a better option.
There was a hole in the plastic liner tub from the inner metal basket rubbing on it during the spin cycle. I got some plastic cement and put it in there and it willl hold for a little while while anyway. Not a very well designed washer when you look into the guts of the monster.
I think the spindle is broke or stuck in some way! if you have another one try that! and if you dont you may be able to use those little plastic adapter thingys and place them on the 45s and try that !
It sounds to me like the spindle is sticking and is pulling the turntable belt and slowing it down!
I would look for a new/used spindle
I think this will fix ya!
