Question about Whirlpool LSB6500P Top Load Washer

Spin tub won't stop

My whirlpool washer is about twenty years old and I think it looks like this model but maybe an older version. The spin tub is rotating when the agitator is moving on the wash cycle. It doesn't not move on filling with water. The tub also will not stop rotating when the lid is opened. Please let me know how to repair this old reliable girl!! Thanks...pat

In my experience as a appliance tech a 20 year old whirlpool could be one of the old style washers with a electrical mechanical part on top of the gearcase called a wig wag. If one of the plungers id bent or broken it will cause the washer to agitate and spin at the same time. If its a 27 inch direct drive washer I would have to say it is the gearcase and not the timer. If the timer has some contacts that are gone most times the washer will just fill and then make a humming noise and not run at all. Hope this helps

Sounds more like the brake mechanism on the bowl is worn out. This stops the bowl from spinning quickly during wash & allows for the G forces exerted by the agitator.

LOL kinda wanna keep her alive I see?? an you got your moneys worth or someone did!! Ok your problem is probably the old mechanical timer on the face as the leaf switchs can break and not release as the cam goes past them.I checked with my source at www.repairclinic.com and they didnt list the model so make sure its correct. Timers cost about 75.00 all the way up to 150 bucks for some types. Good luck. You can go to that site to see for yourselfs if you get a good model # or call them.

Fridgidare washer front load won't spin & there's water in the tub. It's about 10 years old

If it's that old, you're better off buying a new unit. You'll spend about half the cost of a new one fixing it.

I have a kenmore top load high efficiency washer. When i press start it acts like its going to start then it unlocks and won't wash.

My problem is similar to one posted top. My HE Kenmore washer stopped in the middle of the cycle. I repaired the latch lock, thinking that would solve my problem, but now it will start the cycle, and stall at the rinse setting. I have to physically set it to rinse and spin, and sometimes that doesn't even work. Washer will be two years old this August. I have NEVER had a problem with a Sears washer, and I am VERY disappointed in this one. My last two gave me twenty years of service without a repair. Maybe Sears needs to go back to making theirs in the USA.

Our washer is leaving a greasy residue around and on the top of the drum.

If the age of your machine is over 10-12 years old, you could have a model that uses a transmission and the trans is leaking. If it is the transmission, it could be about a $150+ part.

Older washer designs used a motor to drive a transmission to agitate and spin the wash tub. As these get older, some develop small holes in the drive shaft (up under the agitator) which lets the trans grease get into the wash water. Our old washer lasted 23 years before the tub started to rust, so we decided it was time to get a new one, rather than put money into such an old machine.

IF your washer is older than 15 years, it might be starting to develop some other issues, such as rusting tub, etc., that could be costly to replace those parts, like the transmission, so you need to determine if
you want to repair or replace the machine.

If you can provide a model number, with all the alphas and digits, including the pre-printed ones on the label or tag, it could be confirmed that your washer uses a transmission and that is the likely source of the grease you're seeing.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Maybe the motor is shot, maybe the electronics are messed up. You might be able to siphon the water out of the tub.
