This Isn't Rocket Science, It's a Dadgum Washing Machine

my bad!

[COLOR=#000000]Okay guys, I’m back to square one on my 14 year old Whirlpool Washer LSR7233EQ0. Here’s the deal, something keeps spinning to a grinding halt after the inner wash basket stops. I understand that the basket drive block is keyed onto the brake and drive tube by the two tabs at the top of the tube only. I also understand that the basket is not in any way keyed onto the brake and drive tube but is only held on the basket drive block by the compression of the spanner nut threaded onto the block. So if the drive tube and basket and brake are all stationary, what else can possibly be moving for a few seconds with a loud, grinding noise???:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am going with the transmission, final answer.

Ooooh, I’m sorry, wrong answer!
The answer is . . . (drum roll) . . . . "dirty contaminated clutch pads" (see before and after pics below)
OK, Don, what do we have for the contestant?

(totally fixed this afternoon)

Ok, but I think if you had said it was not spinning as fast as it should, which it would not have I would have gotten it. Also, take a look at the brakes, which are a contributing factor to your problem.

You now get to say "thanks for playing and come back soon".

Good point, so I did de-glaze the brake shoes and drum while I was in there. Plenty of lining left so I’ll go with them for a few more years.
