A Whirlpool washer in Canton, OH wasn’t agitating during the wash cycle, leaving clothes super wet. Our technician found a failed hub and discovered the bearings were also going out.
The Problem
The washer will not agitate when it’s in the wash cycle. Clothes are super wet coming out.
Diagnosis
During inspection, we replaced the hub and discovered bearings going out. The failed hub prevented proper agitation, which explained why clothes weren’t getting clean and remained excessively wet after the wash cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: Hub assembly
- Work performed: Replaced hub and assessed bearing condition
- Result: Washer agitation restored to proper operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Whirlpool washers like this WTW5800BW0 are generally reliable units worth repairing when major components like the transmission hub fail. However, with bearings also showing wear, future repairs may be needed. The decision depends on the washer’s overall age and your budget for ongoing maintenance.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers
- Avoid overloading the washer, which puts extra stress on the hub and bearing assembly
- Use the appropriate water level for load size to reduce unnecessary wear on mechanical components
- Clean the washer tub monthly with a washer cleaning cycle to prevent buildup that can cause imbalance
