Hello,i have already replced the clutch assembly because it was making terrible howling noise. Noise is gone but now it wont spin the tub. When the spin cycle starts, it sounds like it wants to spin but then it makes a high speed rubbing noise. I took the lid lock off of the lid and inserted it into the lid lock switch to see what is going on during the spin cycle. I saw the impeller spins up fast for a few seconds and the tub appears to start spinning due to friction, but then it all stops, 30 seconds later it starts again and does the same thing. The tub never gets spinning under power, just friction.

Hello Frank, thank you for your question. I would recommend checking the ACTUATOR part number W10913953, and GEARCASE part number W10771760. If the unit is not spinning, but working otherwise the issue is probably the actuator part. I hope this helps!

Hello the other day while i was doing laundry my centennial was getting ready to go to the rinse cycle and agitate when it made this loud noise kind of like metal on metal sound and now will not agitate during the wash or rinse cycles but spins just fine. Conveniently my washer isn't covered by may tags so called 10 year replacement warranty they want me to pay 125.00 for a repair man just to diagnose my machine if i would have known that may tag is no longer american made but now comes from china i think i definitely would have bought a different machine please help me with this problem thanks ever so much

Hello Patty, thank you for your question. We would recommend checking the clutch part number W10721967, and the actuator part number W10913953. It sounds like the clutch broke and now the unit will not go from spin into agitate mode. Both of the above mentioned parts help to agitate the unit. I hope this helps!

How do i test a actuator

For model number wtw5000dw0

Official Whirlpool W10913953 Shift Actuator (3)

Hello Carlos, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not have any information on testing that part. However, if the unit isn't shifting between agitate and spin, if the washer is not washing properly, clothing still soaking wet, will not agitate, burning smell, will not drain, unusual noises, pumps but will not spin the actuator may be faulty. I hope this helps!

It does not spin at the end of the wash. It washes and drains.

Hello Roger, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: shift actuator, lid latch assembly, drive belt, clutch assembly, and the gear case. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

My washer takes a long time to go from sensing to wash to rinse to spin. When it does move to the next cycle it does not agitate or spin it make a noise, stops, tries again 3 times to advance to next cycle still making a noise. Then the noise stops and after about 30 minutes the washer will move to next cycle drain, fill up and then starts the noise again for 3 tries to advance,there is still no agitating or spinning. The lock on the wash is engaged. Please help.

My washer will spin but not agitate. What parts do i need to repair? Series 500 Kenmore

For model number 110.25132411

Official Whirlpool W10913953 Shift Actuator (6)

Hi Tim, thank you for your question. There are a few parts to check when your appliance is not agitating. You should take a look at your driver pulley, and your belt first. If those parts are fine then you may need to look into your actuator being the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

My Whirlpool washer will agitate just fine during a normal wash, but it does nothing at the spin cycle. When i select "drain & spin" only, it will drain and spin just fine. Could it be the actuator? The lid locks and the indicator led shows it locked as well during the spin.

Hi Christopher. It is possible it could be the actuator. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

Why is our washer shaking, moving all over the place when spinning? It vibrates and makes so much noise it sounds like a tornado.

For model number WTW4955HW1

Official Whirlpool W10913953 Shift Actuator (9)

Hi Debbie,Thank you for your question. If your washer shakes and moves, 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 and springs, the tub ring, the tub wear pads, the drive hub kit and the drive pulley. We have included some links from our website that you may reference on how to check these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please call customer service. We look forward to hearing from you!

I replaced the shift actuator and washer doesNot do a long fast spin. Agitation is fine,Pump out is fine, basket wobble seems excessive.Plastic gears are intact clean and lubed.I hear a repetitive clicking sound when I Manually spin the tub……? Wobbling

For model number MVWX655DW1

Official Whirlpool W10913953 Shift Actuator (15)

Hello Neil, Thank you for your inquiry. The clicking sound could indicate an object stuck between the tub and the drum or something stuck in the washer drain. Check beneath the wash plate or the drive hub, and check the drive pulley as well. If the tub is wobbling, it could indicate an issue with one of the suspension rods as well. We hope this helps.
