Alex - You are one of the very best Teachers / Instructors I have ever seen!
Thank you so much !!
Such an amazing video. Thank you! The integrities of your repair skills should not be underestimated. This is level 10 of top loader machine repair.
I've just completed the job based on these directions. I rented the 5 ton puller and the 38 mm deep socket (OEMTOOLS 1/2in Drive 6 Point Axle / Spindle Nut Socket Set) from Autozone. In addition to pulling the hub, I also used the puller to remove the bearing from the transmission shaft (after soaking it with Liquid Wrench penetrant). While you're at it, do yourself a favor and inspect / replace the agitate and spin belt as well as the tensioner pulley.
I've done that same repair a couple of times on 2 different Speed Queen home machines, & I'm not a professional washer repair man. It's quite a task for sure!
About the most complete how-to video i have ever seen! Thank you.
Thankyou so much for your subscription. FYI I have lots of speed queen videos.
Excellent walk-through! Thank you!
Wow, great instructions, really helped! THX! Now a SUB!
Have rebuilt hundreds of these old and new style. This is an old style bearing. My company just replaced the whole module on site and rebuilt old module in shop. A lot of work on site without proper tools. Good job
Thank you so much!
I just had two of these this week... both took forever to get the hub nut (had to use a torch) and the hub would not come off... I finally got one off, but the other one wouldn't budge without doing serious damage to the tub. Plus, I twisted off 3 hub bolt heads. I gave up on that one... Honestly, had I kept going, I would've been charging the customer so much, it would be less expensive to just replace it. Like you said, the guys who do the videos where everything pops off easily, aren't working on a 20 year old machine that's been used 24/7/365. It took me 5 hours to do the other one, and that one was nearly as bad. Yours actually look so clean compared to mine, I was a little jealous. Mine were in a dorm building for 20+ years, neglected, infested and rusted. Next time I get one of these, I'm telling them to replace it.
Anyway, great video... I just came to see if anyone else had as much trouble as I did... yep.
I wonder if someone didn't apply Loctite to the bolts, and hub shaft when they did the tub seal before. Loctite keeps water out of the threads you will see where bolts that have none will be rusted in high humid environment. I worked in the marine industry for awhile we saw that lot where someone put a bolt in with nothing go to remove it just breaks the head off. Everyone kept a bottle in their pocket put it on everything we used green or blue. Red only on big bolts that needed to hold lot.
Gracias Sr Alex !! You did a great job explaining the bearing replacement and also very good video work . The best video I have seen . Thanks !!
Best video to replace washer bearing I ever seen
Hey Alex. 🙋 Just wanted to say that this has got to be the best how to repair video I've seen so far. This looks like a huge job but with the help of your video I'm sure I will be able to get it done. So thorough and detailed. You did an amazing job. I'll be doing this tomorrow on a washer that is from my RV park laundry room. I will let you know how it turned out. Also, I just wanted mention that I really enjoy your accent. If I close my eyes and listen I can almost imagine Fez from That 70s Show, telling me how to fix a washer. I do mean that in a good way. It made it so easy to watch the last 6 times. Wish me luck 🤞 with my repair job. hasta manana mi amigo
LOL Hello Shawna, Thank you so much for your words!! Im blushing! I hope your repair went well. Im going to google that Fez guy LOL
unfortunately it was not as successful as your washer repair. I got everything off but the hub but the hub and bearings were so rusted and corroded that just removing them cause the center hole of the outer tub to break off. I had to order a new outer tub to complete the job. that was almost a month ago and still waiting for the tub to be mailed. That seems to be the most difficult part of this job. At least I still can watch your video again so I can make sure I know how to put it all back together 🤩😄
@@shawnaspooner5094 It is not fun waiting that long for parts. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Keep me posted .
so long!!
I have a machine with a bad bearing but a big company wanted $1700! Smaller shops want 700-950 but really didn’t want to do it. New machines are 1600-1800 in SoCal.
@@dankam830 So what is going to be:? Are you going to fix it yourself? Buy a new one? or have it repaired? How old is it?
NICE write up...thank you! it looks doable and these machines are worth repairing
You are really an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Mexico 🙏🙂
Very good video original
Thank you for the straight to the point video. I bought a TW3 without knowing it had a bad tub seal. With the help of your video and included instructions with the seal kit I replaced the seal and bearings. Hopefully my real replacement will work and we have a good washer for years to come. After learning how mechanically simple these washers are inside, I'll gladly work on another one. (hopefully not mine)
Hey Nicholas, Im so glad!!! Thank you so much for your feed back.
Great video. I referenced it multiple times during my repair. One correction. The 646p3 does not contain the upper bearing and is a completely different part. You got exactly what you needed with the 766P3A.
Thanks a lot Mr Glass
Excellent video! Very detailed and it shows you take pride in your work!
thank you so much Dan.
Thanks for making this! Very helpful✌🏻
excellent video Dan, you help us a lot, thanks
Excellent video, very helpful. Thank you.
Great video Alex, thank you.
Thank you so much. Please know I have 15 videos on Speed queens repairs.
Alex. You are a good man. Thank-you for this!! My 5 year old Speed Queen had a slight "squeaking" sound over past month that was getting progressively louder. Because of your video I was able to determine squeak coming from the rubber "cap" that sits just under the bell at 25:00 point in your video. Hopefully anybody that has a squeaking sound during agitation only finds your video, removes the bell and rubber cap, clean and replace the cap or buy a new one. In my case it worked well, there was some type of heavy black grease build up in upper portion of cap that must have been applied when built new at factory. I did not apply any lube to the rubber cap, because I see you did not apply any lube as well. thanks.
Hey Robert, Im so glad you were able to fix your speed queen. Good luck. Thanks for sharing. See you around. Please know I have 2o more videos on speed queens.
I'm watching you sir alex, good job very nice tutor, gód bless you sir.
Hello Alex, great news! My washer is put all back together, all thanks to your video. It's been so long since I first took it apart that I could never have done it without it. I did have the instructions that came with the seal kit but they weren't as thorough and easy to understand. Thank you so much. Now all I have to do is maybe adjust the position of the springs because it is acting like it is out of balance. No leaks so far though! I was lucky though that the tub we finally got had the bearings and seal already on it. Long story short after receiving 2 wrong tubs we finally got the right one. We also replaced the balance ring and the weldment tub cover. Thank you Thank uou thank you. Also, did you ever look up that Fez guy? 😄😀😁
😎👍.... que transita wey..... que pachukita por toluquita.....good job.😄👍
Very helpful. I used the gear extractor tool, and the metal hub broke into pieces because it was so tight. I very carefully shattered it into pieces and cut the remaining center. Then had to file threads on the transmission so the new piece would fit. It added hours to the project. Appreciate the time you spent filming editing and explaining. Don’t be shy!
Very helpful. I found that air bag wedges work well to take off the agitator had to use on all four sides but came off with little effort
Hey, Thanks for sharing that! That is a clever idea.
Very good, Thanks a lot...👌👌👏👏❤️
Thank you. I'm in the process of doing the same thing.
Good luck!! Let me know how it goes.
Great video. I have the factory service manual but it wasn't clear and your video is a big help. However the kit is $160 and I'm not sure about spending that much on a 25 year old washing machine. But I hate to throw it out.
Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos amigo.
Hola Juan!! Con mucho gusto! Es un placer. Gracias a ti. Te cuento que tengo 13 mas videos de speed queen en mi canal de ingles.
Just so you know: @16:00 that pin you call a stud, is the holder for the seal not to SPIN ... if the pin is missing you must replace it...or when you start the machine the seal will spin and leak bad...
WOW awesome video, all i needed !! thanks a lot!!
My pleasure! Don't forget to like it.
@@alexthehandyman3494 i do for sure!! can you give me the size of the special wrench for the big hex nut? thanks a lot!!
Nice Vedio....
thank you
Great video, one addition if your getting the 5 ton puller from autozone. You can also get a deep well socket set loaner. It’s the 38 mm. All free
Great tip!
Great video. Halfway through the repair already. Alex, the kit and your video comes with a gasket that goes on top of the hub. My model AWN412SP111TW01 did not have a gasket on top but instead a plastic piece in its place that’s approximately twice the diameter that has a screen/filter on it. Should I use just the plastic piece that came with the machine, just the gasket or both? If both then which one goes on bottom? Thanks
Thank you for the video. Where can I buy the special wrench that you had to hit with the hammer to loosen the locking nut? I'm having an impossible time getting that nut off.
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing this video. I just bought a used set (washer and dyer) both push coin operated. It's hard to find great videos like yours showing me how to fix my washer and dryer in the future!
out of curiosity, do you have a video on how to change the timer on a dryer? My dryer model is a SDG109WF; it uses a plastic circle thing. lol...trying to find a video on how replace it so the dryer can go from 20 minutes to 40 minutes; any help would be much appreciated. Or can you direct me to website that has useful diagrams or service manuals?
thank you,
Hello Angryguy. Im sorry I just saw your comment. It is supper easy!! You just buy those round thingy and replace it. IN and out. Let me know if you have not done it.
A 1.5in or 38mm deep socket and impact wrench should get the nut off easily when the hand tools don't budge it. It takes an especially deep socket to reach over the top of the transmission spline shaft to reach the nut. The only socket deep enough that I could find was a Sunex 248ZD, which is 12point 1.5in 2.2in-depth, cost me $25; all the other brands of deep socket were not deep enough. The hex nut is actually 38mm, so that size socket will fit better, but the 1.5in socket is easier to find and fits OK.
The impact wrench will also spare the transmission bearings, which you shouldn't be hammering on with side blows on a pipe wrench or the special tool! You're liable to have the transmission fail after going through all this other bearing and seal replacement if you have hammered the nut too hard at the start.
Thank so much for that info.
Hey alex great video man and i just wanted to ask you if this is the same procedure for a speed queen domestic?
Hello JOse. I have not dealt with domestic ones but this one is so simple the domestic should be the same mechanical wise, except for more bells and whistles not the control boards
Use rubber glove when touching that sealant. It makes clean up so much easer
Awesome Bro, Why they have us put the screws with the rubber washers for the inner tub? The original screws didn’t have that. And also I noticed the screws are smaller than the original a little bit.
Great job Alex I just did one commercial speed queen but older,water seal is different, instrucions said force it to spin with no water how you do this it has no knobs
Hola Carlos.
I am not familiar with that model. I only deal with this kind of speed queen. Try moving the agitator by hand. send me the instructions by mail alexx7@lhotmail.com and I ll figure it out for you.
Thanks
Great vid! The tool spacer @ 20:33 does it come with the kit? If not, do you have a part number? Thx!
Hello yes it comes with the 766p3Aparts.alliancelaundry.com/i-787114-speed-queen-766p3a-washer-kit-hub-lip-seal.html?Google&AL-766P3A-02&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4NWrBhD-ARIsAFCKwWvtoZV6BBBg2UKwMgJrnSjfT27RrP_nUgjh-xV2_FcIGZZ9gZITl30aAjYeEALw_wcB
The 766p3a kit from Alliance says it must be ordered with 39508p. Did you do that? Why would they say it is required?
😄👍😎👍....cuando hace ruido como avión ✈ tienen que llenarla de ropa....para quitarle ese ruido 😎👍
Cuando hace ruido como un avión significa que es hora de tomar vacaciones!!!!1. Vamos a la playa oh, oh, oh, todos con sombrero
Just great. Thank you! I bought this complete kit about a year ago. I had a small leak that stopped. Well it started again and since I bought the kit you made this video. It’s the best one out there so it will really help. How long did this take you? I’m assuming I’m in for at least 4 hours.
@@johnjacob1412 That's probably a good estimate if you've done this a bunch of times before. I would double that if it's your 1st time
@@Samlol23_drrich Yeah, I have replaced hundreds. I think the first time following paper instructions took me about 3 hours. Of course, everything came apart easy. Now that videos exist to help, I would say about 2. If the parts have been bad for a long time, and water is leaking from the bearing, it could be really hard to remove because of corrosion.
@@johnjacob1412 you should see my video. It was a relative nightmare. I could not get the nut off the spindle because the transmission did not lock. Every video I saw (there were two good ones. This and a vertically shot one that was fantastic) the spindle was locked in place and a couple of hits to that metal plate with a cut out (I bought one) released the nut. Not mine. I thought my transmission was broken but the washer works fine.
@samlol23 I watched your video. You have bad brake pads. That is what holds the transmission still. Open your washer and grab the transmission, and see if you can easily turn it by hand. If you can, replace the 3 brake pads. Do 1 at a time. When installing a new one, rotate the main pulley clockwise so you can get the pad in. Very easy and cheap job.
@@johnjacob1412 wow. I truly appreciate your expertise. I absolutely will do just that. I knew it shouldn't be like that. Just had no idea why since it was working. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and help.
Hello Alex, you are doing very good job. I'm from Iraq i need to purchase missing spare parts. for my Speed queen top load washer LWS17NW-3022 need your help to find parts that marches my washer model
I’ve got the coin drop model with computer control. About 8 years old. When I start the cycle, hot and warm water buttons work but not cold. Ideas? I did swap with a known working valve so I’m baffled.
Hello Alex! I have a speed queen washer similar to the one in your video that just experienced bearing failure. What was the part number for the kit you purchased?
Hola the kit I used was 766P3A. You also can use the 746 P3. that includes the sealant. The sealant is 3m560
@@alexthehandyman3494 thank you sir!
Hi Alex. I was wondering if you have had a speed queen washer not agitate. Washer spins only in one direction when it suppose to agitate. Spin cycle works. Trying to see if you had some knowledge on thus or point ne in the right direction to start fixing this.
Hello Salazar, How are you today?
Funny I just had that same issue yesterday! That's a typical sign of a bad transmission. That transmission spins right and left. It failed internally spinning to one direction.
You can buy a new one for 400. New machines are about 1100 (if is the same as in my video)
Or you can remove your transmission and take it to be repair /rebuilt for 150. How old is your machine?
Maybe is time for a new one. Do the math.
Good luck Keep me posted.
@@alexthehandyman3494 thank you for the info. Going to try and find someone to repair it. It's about 6-8 years old. It was recently overloaded which made the belt shred/break and swapped the pump. Hopefully I can find a video so I could do it myself.
do you have a video to trouble shoot speed queen washer commercial card is not reading
Does all this come in a kit or you have to buy each part individually ?
Hello Raul, Thanks 766P3A kit comes with every thing except the sealant.
Also go to minute 23:12. At that moment I install the plastic insert with fingers up.
15:24 - "Land it on the transmission CHAFT" :)
Hey Wadley Thanks for watching.
Your missing a mounting bolt on the motor?
Good video alex...how much would a reasonable cost be for this type of job???
I think 400 to 600 plus parts It would be reasonable. Some people reported they paid 800
@@alexthehandyman3494 wow...might be better to buy a new washer
@@5fingerfrank37 hey I'll come fix it for $300. Not too hard if there's nothing else wrong with it and you don't have to order anything else and wait for parts to come in. I'm pretty sure by now I could reassemble the entire washer since most of the mechanical parts are basically taken apart and reassembled during this repair. We decided to do it ourselves because we were quoted $500 plus parts. So glad that I had Alex's video to follow. This guy knows what he's doing. Good luck with your washer.
@@shawnaspooner5094 where you located
@@shawnaspooner5094 where you located at?
Hi Alex, I like you video. I got a Speedqueen washing machine model LWS21AW-3062, similar the one the video (not exactly). The broblem is from where to buy the parts. I live in Malta, and here there is no parts.
Thanks.
Hello Emmanuel. Most parts can be found on websites. they can be delivered at any most countries in the world.
On your browser type the model number of your speed queen and you will see different vendors offering parts.
if no luck call this number 920 748 3121
This is technical support for Speed queen.
Be prepared with model and serial number.
Simple, but hard.
By looking at the pictures of 646P3, I am not sure if it has the exact same parts. I don't think it is for this washer.
Hello Top gun, It works perfect for the style speed queen washer I show in the video. Maybe yours is different. thanks
What's the part number for the kit you used? Thanks!
Hello Daniel The part number I used was the 766P3A but I had to buy the 3M sealant separate. The Kit 646P3 INCLUDES THE SEALANT.
@@alexthehandyman3494 Thank you!!
How long does it roughly take to do it all?
If you never done it before, it might take 4-6 hours. It is a long process, specially if you dont have the right tools.
@4:25 - Cover is cracked and should be replaced.
Good eye mate. It seems like is cracked but is not. It is dirt and grime that looks like a crack. Of course if cracked it should be replaced. Thank so much for your comment.
Outer hub broke off after using puller now how to remove rest from shaft
Hello Alex. Wow! Before you go any further price out the tub to make sure you want to continue with the repairs. It might make sense now to buy a new machine and return the parts you got. If this is not the case then try a grinder tool to cut the hub with out damaging the transmisión shaft. Cut almost touching the shaft and then hit the uncut piece with a hammer and a chisel to finish cutting it out. I never happened to me so I don’t have a first hand experience. Let me know how it goes. Thx
Do not use the kit 646p3 it does not include the bearing for the bottom of the tank
my basket inside the drum is moving when I try to get the bolt off.
Hello. Yes you have to hold the tub and then undo the bolt. Have help from someone, Thanks
Great until you put that top ring on absolutely filthy. Clean as you go!
Hello Thanks for your comment. Please look careful. min 26:52. Cleaned as a whistle. Thanks!!
Looks like you dont like to use WD-40and like to use the brutal force on the hammer and pulling bearings
Hey I just have to say that even after several applications of WD-40 and PB blaster, our hub was still really hard to get off. It actually broke before we could get it off in one piece. I know that he does mention pb blaster at the beginning of his video as one of the tools that you might need for this job. Just an observation.
Great video on how To do it but .... Could have clean the parts you are reinstated .... Could have a done a cleaner job .
lHello, thanks for your comment. Look at min 26:52 and freeze the frame. What do you see? Look at the plastic tub cover.
I cleaned it before I put the metal cover back.
Just as bad as an old maytag/frigidaire or a cabrio/oasis/bravos, once they fail you throw those away and get an old timer switch whirlpool
Too much work, how much do you charge for it?
Yes It is a lot of work. I dont do that for the public. If I did about 400-600 labor
@ 7:50 i would not touch remove that air dome, just leave it alone, it could start leaking or you could break it or crack it, then what ??? so just leave it alone ,,, you can just remove the little hose on it, that is better then messing with pulling and pushing on it believe me... that air dome is old and brittle and can break or splinter crack then you screwed...
Hey John, That's very true!! Thank you so much for your input. Greetings !!
Just watched the video again. Shouldn't you be changing the lower bearing along with the upper bearing? Makes no sense to only change one bearing and leave the old lower in there. Also at 26:30 you should have cleaned that white plastic, it looks filthy.
Hello Wadley, Yes it totally makes sense to do the lower bearing. Thanks for noticing that. This video was intended for the upper one.
About the white plastic if you look at 26:52. It is cleaned. I did not mention it but, I cleaned it.
Thank you so much
And I'm doing the exact same thing and i hate doing bearing repairs on washing machines and it sucks and i absolutely hate doing it but i rather do it instead of wasting 800 hundred dollars for a piece of crap high efficiency washer that's going to cause me a lot of problems so and i don't have time for Nonsense
It sucks!!! I don't like to do it. Sooo time consuming. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
It sucks and it took me a week to work on that because of my lack of my experience and it lasted only three months and then for some reason it seems like the washer has a hard time spinning and I spin the basket to see what was going on and it seems like it's a little tight and it doesn't want to coast on its own like it should but I don't know what is causing that problem because the motor is kinda struggling while spinning the drum and does the bearing supposed to get tight like that when they are going bad I'm not sure so what is your opinion on that and if I have do another bearing replacement on the washer again I think I might just go out and buy a new one before I go through the trouble with this again because that was Hell on earth to that just to let you know.
22:44 - why do you apply Loctite 680 to the hub? Are you trying to glue it to the seal or something?
There is a very thin sleeve inside the seal that the rubber lip of the seal will ride on, you can push it out of the seal to look at it, the loctite glues the sleeve to the bottom of the hub after the hub is installed. The inside of the sleeve and the outside of the hub should be very clean before applying the loctite
