WTW8500DW0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

I watched a you tube video of how to perform the repair. First I unplugged the washing machine before beginning the repair. Turned the water valve off and then disconnected the water line from the back of the washing machine with pliers.I used the nut driver to remove the screws/nut type heads from the metal cover from the back of washing machine .This gives you access to slide the top of the washing machine forward.The top of the washing machine has to be moved forward to lift the top upward. Tape can be used to prevent the washing machine lid from opening and possibly getting damaged. I just held onto the lid and rested it against my basement wall. The control panel has two bent shaped metal brackets that must be pushed slightly forward. Then the control panel can be removed to begin removing the control board. There are 6-7 bolt head screws to remove from the backside of the control panel. This permits the removal of the control board and unplug the wire from the control board. Then you just reverse the process to put everything back together. I recommend placing the various screws from the control board and the screws from the back of the machine that holds the metal cover separated. This was the first time I attempted a repair to a washing machine and went very well . I hope this helps you out on this type of repairs .

Popped the cap , used a socket to unscrew the bolt (it was stripped so ended up having to cut off bolt) Took off old impellar and replaced, installed a new bolt, replaced Cap and it was fixed.

Since I have All Whirlpool appliances in the home, the only one not a Whirlpool was a counter top dishwasher that looks exactly like it could be a Whirlpool and so not to be the odd unit out, I labeled it with with a Whirlpool logo nameplate on the face of the door. Now everything matches perfectly and all in the same exact color white too.

Just measured and marked where the plate was to be located, cleaned that part of the surface, peeled the backing and carefully placed the logo name plate in place and pressed it on. Voila. Done and looks original as well. Call me the big, deep fakearooski.

At first I had to position the washer so I could get access.. after having it positioned, I figured it out. Getting the clamp fastened, I was done.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you
