HI,

You need a long narrow 20T tork wrench to remove the clutch bell.Most stores that sell tools should have them. You stick the wrench down the opening of the clutch bell (where the shaft normally goes), hold the flywheel so it doesn't turn (a screwdriver will work) and then unscrew the screw that holds the clutch bell on.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Duet GHW9400PWO: Replacement of the rear counter weight

This is a simple repair. All that should be required is to remove the back panel to access the counterweight. I've performed this repair on several occasions. Loosen the bolts that sandwich the weight between the mounting plates and the whole weight should slide out of its mounted position on the back of the tub. Insert the new weight by sliding it in place and then re-installing the mounting plates and bolts. Tighten until snug. Do NOT overtighten as you may crack the weight. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: change counter weight

Generally its best if you wish to try yourself to use very heavy fireproof bricks as they are extremely heavy and dense.to do this you must remove the bottom plate which should expose the whole of the balancing section.

SOURCE: broke the pull cord. need to know how to take the

bad engineering - the guard is riveted so you need to pull the whole right side of the casing which means removing three brass bolts. BUt then you will find that the steel housing is in the way so you need to remove the engine from the unit - another four tight bolts and a bit of dismantling a few other connections - a lot of work! Then you need to mess with the spring mechanism!!

I cant pull the starter cord on mt coleman ct200u

Remove cover over starter pulley.
Cord wraps around this.
When cord is pulled, centrifugal force swings spring-loaded weights out, to engage the starter gear.
Check that weights are releasing when not pulled.
And that cord is still on pulley.
May have wound off the side.

Sounds like a jet plane taking off when it spins, I think I got in 2003 Also the top of the agitator wont stay on

Has it always sounded like a jet plane? If it has. Then who installed your new washing machine didn't disengaged the two counter weight inside the washing machine. There two concert block or plastic block inside the washing machine. Each block is attached to one end of counter blanching bar which has some spring attached to them. During manufacturing these weights are tied down for shipment. During installation the ties are removed then the washing machine can be leveled.

Counter weights are used to off set the uneven load in the tub. That way the washing will not start walking in the house. Side load washing machine use a plastic donut the fits around the drum and it fill with fluid for counter weight.

Now the cap of the agitator, it broken. The locking tabs are broke off. needs to replace. I hope you said the top of the agitator and not the agitator is coming out. If it is, you got major problems. stewbison

It sounds like the spring in my washer has broken. It made a loud sound during a cycle and now the basket is completely off balance and barely moves. I was wondering if the spring is worth fixing or if...

This could be an easy fix if the counter weight came loose from the top of the tub shell which is a common problem. Pull the unit out from the wall and removed the back panel to inspect the counter weight, spider pulley and belt. If the counter weight is not broke you can reattach it to tub shell and retighten the bolts. If it is broke it is about $30.00 plus shipping. Inspect the spider pulley which is attached to the tub with the belt around it. If it is not broken, you can turn the pulley by hand to check the tub bearings for free movement. Make sure the belt is in good shape and attached to the motor spindle and spider pulley. If the spider pulley is broken you may have to order a new pulley. If you have to remove the spider pulley you may want to use a gear puller from an auto parts store to remove the pulley. The belt is easily replaced once you know the below procedure:

1. Place the belt around the center of the motor pulley stretching the belt to the spider pulley leaving no slack in the belt.

2. Keeping the slack out of the belt, place the belt on the outside rim of the spider pulley as much as the belt tension will allow you to do so.

3. Keep the tension on the belt and slowly rotate the spider pulley counter clockwise until the belt is completely on the spider pulley.

Rotate the spider pulley several times to make sure the belt stays in the center of the spider pulley. If the belt is not centered after several revolutions you need to remove the belt and reinstall it after moving the ribs of the belt on the motor pulley in the direction which centers the belt. If it was my unit I would fix it unless you have to replace the outer tub shell (approximately $300.00 for parts only).

I may have overloaded my Frigidaire Pin #134465400 0410 front loading washing machine. On the last load it did not complete the spin cycle and there is water laying in the bottom of the drum. When I try...

Pull the unit out from the wall and unplug it. Remove the back panel and check the counter weight (looks like a cement quarter round cement block), spider pulley and belt. The counter weight is attached to the top of the drum and can loosen and fall to the bottom damaging the spider pulley. If the counter weight is firmly attached to the top of the washer drum and the belt is attached to the spider pulley and motor, remove the top cover and lower front panel.
With any luck the counter weight knocked the belt off. If you are unlucky the counter weight broke the spider pulley.
Here is a link for parts.

Machine was draining and spinning and became off balanced.it stopped working.when unplugged and then plugged back in, it will start to drain and try to spin but it makes a noise instead.help!

Pull the unit out from the wall and unplug it. Remove the back panel and check the counter weight (looks like a cement quarter round cement block), spider pulley and belt.

If the counter weight is firmly attached to the top of the washer drum and the belt is attached to the spider pulley and motor, remove the top cover and lower front panel. Check to make sure the drum springs and shocks are attached to the drum. I hope you only need to bolt the counter weight back on and no other damage to the machine is found, you should get bake to business in about 40 minutes.

Spring on door is broke. do I need to pull

The door springs are located at each door hinge and connect to the frame body along each side of the dishwasher. If you remove the lower toe panel directly below the door you should be able to see them. However, in order to access them to repair/replace you WILL need to pull the dishwasher out to get to them in most cases. You may not have to remove the dishwasher all they way, however, if you have enough slack in the water supply line, power cord and drain line. Just follow these steps:

1. Turn off the main power or unplug dishwasher.
2. Remove lower toe panel.
3. Remove the screws under the counter top holding the dishwasher in place.
4. With the screws removed, carefully pull the dishwasher out. Watch through the toe panel opening to see if you have enough slack in the power cord and water lines.

You may have enough clearance to locate the springs on the each side to make your repairs. If not, you will need to turn off the water supply and disconnect the water supply line on the left hand side inside toe panel. You may also have to remove the electrical lines inside the junction box inside the toe panel. It is usually located right in front for easy access. Make sure the power is turned off at the breaker, or the unit is unlugged before servicing the electrical supply. For reinstallation, the color codes are as follows:

BLACK - HOT (120 VAC)
WHITE - NEUTRAL (0 VAC)
GREEN (or Bare) - GROUND

If you have any questions, or need additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
