does my model with a clutch drive have a spin cycle actuator. If so what is the repacement number.
For model number WTW5540SQ0
Hi Rick,
Thank you for your question. There is no spin actuator listed for your washer, but if the washer is not spinning, we recommend checking the clutch assembly, the direct drive motor coupling and the agitator directional cogs. We hope this helps!
Hi Mike, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research on this model, the tub has a capacity of 3.2 cubic feet. We hope this information helps!

The washer basket appears to be out of alignment, each time clothes are washed regardless of a large or small, and the clothes being spread out evenly. The basket bangs the sides during spin cycles and sometimes during agitation cycle. Please help with the replacement part needed to correct this issue. Thank you
For model number WTW5540SQ0
Hello Frank, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the balance ring, part number PS11741965, and the suspension spring, part number PS11743345. The balance ring acts as a counterweight to keep the spin basket balanced as it agitates and spins while the spring supports the outer tub and keeps the tub stable during unbalanced loads. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
Washing machine stops after filling and hums. I can move my tub back and forth and side to side and it starts again? Approx 25% % of the time it will complete wash cycle with no problem?

I'm looking for what ever holds the top lid down at the front. I see two slots but there is nothing in them. I'm assuming it should be some type of clip. The lid just rattles up and down when using the machine.

The job looked intimidating but turned out to be very easy. First take off the water pump by removing the two clips that hold it in place. Place a shallow pan under the pump to catch the water that is in the pump and hoses. Open the hose clamps with a pair of pliers or channel locks (better) and slide the hoses off of the water pump. The motor comes off next. Unplug the electrical connector from the motor and two wires from the capacitor. Remove the two screws holding the clamps in place and then pop off the two clamps. You will need to hold up the motor with one hand while you remove the clamps or it will fall to the floor once the clamps are removed. One piece of the coupling assemble will be attached to the motor and the other will be attached to the gearcase drive shaft. If you want to clean up the mess created by the shredded rubber center piece of the coupling assembly you will have to take off the motor mounting plate. It is held on by two bolts and removing it makes installing the coupling easier but probably not necessary. Push the back half of the coupling on to the gearcase drive shaft until the shaft is flush with the face of the coupling. Install the new rubber center piece on to the coupling then re-install the motor mounting plate. Install the other half of the coupling on to the motor shaft and lift the motor up to the coupling. You have to rotate the motor shaft by spinning the fan blades until the coupling lines up so you can slide it into the other half of the coupling. Then just reattach the motor, connectors and water pump in the reverse order of disassembly.
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.
The hardest part of this job was pulling the machine away from the wall so the hoses could be disconnected and the machine flipped onto it's back. Putting the machine on it's back does two things. It drains the water left in the bottom of the tub so it won't pour out onto the motor when the old pump is removed, and gives the necessary access to the pump. Once the machine is on it's back you remove the hose clamps with a pair of pliers and disconnect the hoses. The pump is secured to the motor with a pair of spring steel retaining clips which are easily popped off by hand. Once the clips are removed, the pump is in your hand. Put the new pump in place, replace the retaining clips and hoses, and you're done. This has to have been the easiest repair I've ever done. I wish cleaning gutters was this easy.
