    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Whirlpool Washer LA9480XWN2 Help please!

OK, a little background ...

My old Whirlpool was shaking during the spin cycle, so I replaced the 3 little wear/bearing pads and the counterbalance spring.

But, when I put it all back together and my wife put clothes in it, the machine fills up with water and then nothing.  I've checked and jumpered out the lid switch - and the timer times out.  But the machine neither agitates or spins or drains.  Any ideas?  I must have done something stupid, but can't seem to figure it out!

Thanks much!

Well, I wiggled the connector at the motor and away it went.  Is there a way to fix that connector or am i going to have to buy the harness?

You could try using a zip tie - add silicone on connector n let it dry

Look closely at the plastic connector... if there is a burn/overheating mark developing, you should get a new terminal and hard-wire the neutral.
