    • 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/

When agitating and working correctly the complete basket will do what is called "Indexing" - moves with the agitator in one direction and locking for the opposite agitate stroke.

If the one-way bearing at the bottom of the transmission fails the tub will index in both directions of agitation and will not agitate efficiently at all if this happens.

To check the bearing with the machine off try to turn the spin basket by hand.   It should be locked when trying to turn in one direction and spin freely and smooth in the opposite direction.

If the tub spins freely in both directions the one-way bearing has failed and is only available as a complete transmission - usually not worth repairing.
