Whirl Ult.Care Washer leaves H20 in tub
Hello,
My old faithful Whirlpool Ultimate Care Heavy Duty Super Capacity Plus (model # LSR8233EQ1) has left a high level of water in the basket. It's making a sound like it is trying to pump out, and it seems to be going through (or trying at least) all the cycles. As you can imagine, it had a bit of a burning smell when I went to check on it. Any idea if this may be repairable...hate to give up on a good and faithful servant
!
Thank you very much,
April

Hi,
Its possibly something stuck in your water pump. I would check that first.
Also check your motor coupling, to make sure it didn't break.

Cha-Ching!!
Hi Jake,
Thank you so much--you were dead on with the object in the water pump...it was a nickel causing the chaos! The couplers looked just fine, so my hubby put her back together again and she's been happily a washin' ever since!
Thank you very much...your help is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
April
PS--that Cha-ching was a tip in your jar!

Hi Jake,
Hope you are well. I have a follow up question for you. This washer is completely rusted in the frame around the bleach mechainisim, etc and surrounding and is now falling apart and shaking badly when spinning, but the motor and pump (just replaced last week) is still in good working order. Is it possible at all to just replace the framework and keep it in operation?
Thanks!
April
