The tub knocks bad when in spin cycle. I arrange the clothes over and it doesn't stop. It does it most when slowing down and it does it every wash liad.

Hi Vicki, Thank you for your question. If your washer is shaking and moving during the spin cycle, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the suspension rods, the tub ring and the tub wear pads . We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

My washer is 2 years old and has auto fill. It stopped filling with enough water to wash the load but continues to wash cycle. What does it need?
For model number WTW4816FW2
PartSelect logo
Hi Mary, Thank you for your question. If the washer is not filling with water, you will need to check the hoses and screens, the water inlet valve, the lid lock/switch, the selector switch and water temperature switch, the water level pressure switch and the electronic control board. For more information on how to test these parts, click on the Appliance Repair link on our website and on the next page that comes up click on the washer icon. When the next page comes up, you will be provided with a symptoms list. Choose the "Will not fill with water" symptom and the information will come up for you. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

My washer keeps loosing will not go in to rinse just wash and drain but will not go into rinse
For model number WTW4816FW2

Hello Victor, thank you for the question. Based on our research, you may need to check the electronic control board, part number PS12348139, to fix the issue. The control manages the cycles of the washer. If the control board is faulty, it will miss the rinse cycle and start drain cycle. We hope this helps!

Whenever I close the lid, the machine only makes a clicking noise. Sounds like if the machine is turning on and off. No indicator lights turn on and will not go into service diagnostic mode
For model number WTW4816FW2
PartSelect logo
Hi Carlos, thank you for reaching out. If the washer starts having the mentioned issues after closing the lid, the most probable cause is a faulty door lock assembly, part number PS12704713, which may need to be replaced. We hope this solves your problem!

washer wouldn't agitate
First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs.
Slip the new cogs into the underside of the cup, and slide the cup back down in the agitator housing using the slots on the side for a guide. (You may want to remove the entire agitator and assemble everything upside down, then flip it all back over to mount, so the cogs don't fall out).
Tighten the bolt, snap the cap back in place on top of the agitator and your'e done. Easy repair.

Dog ears worn down; upper agitator not moving
Pulled off the dispenser. Used socket set to remove bolt. Removed entire agitator out of washer. Placed both feet on bottom of agitator and then pulled up on the upper agitator. It took some muscle due to the years of washer use. I used a flat-head screwdriver to weaken the plastic clips holding down the old bearing-driven cam. Once I got the upper agitator off, the guts were easy to pull out. Then I just re-assembled with the 3 new parts (the Cam Driven, the Dog Ears, and the Bearing-Driven Cam).
