Thread: whirlpool ultimate care II

Hi,

Whats the model# of your washer? Its located inside the lid.

Usually that sound is the gearcase going out.

You should have a 5 yr. parts warranty on the gearcase from Whirlpool.

How old is your washer? If you don't know please post the serial# and I can tell you.

there is a # imprinted on the back cover-this might be the serial # 3357978.

i bought the home and the washer came w/home, so i do not know when the washer was bought-i would estimate it to be around the year 2000.

if it is the gearcase that is out, how do i go about getting replacement part. i owuld like to install myself if possible to save $.

thanks-kent

Ok Kent,

The model and serial# tag is located inside the lid, open the lid and you should see in on the top where you load your clothes inside the tub.

found the right info:

model # LSQ8200HQ0
ser # CJ3931290

Perfect!

Ok your washer was made in 1999.

Here's the gearcase for your model:
Gearcase for direct drive washer(The manufacturer has replaced part number 3360630 with this item, part number 3360629.)


Here is the basket drive for your model:
Manufacturer part number 285792 is RepairClinic item number 1254
285792

Here is your clutch assembly:
Manufacturer part number 285785 is RepairClinic item number 2670
285785

Here's a good help link to access these parts:
Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Kitchen Aid: Direct Drive Spin Tube

Its basically in need of a overhaul once one of the major parts go out like the gearcase, which the other parts involved, basket drive/clutch and gearcase are all wearing out too.

Since your washer is already 10 years old, its probably better to just save your repair money for a new washer, but its up to you.
