So maybe THIS is the answer since I still can't get mine off. A new one is around thirty two dollars online, and I'd rather light it on fire (just to punish it)and melt it into hell than go through this continual hassle. I'm trying to install the metal machine drum to fix the wobbling from the plastic POS. Of note, the nut came off very easily and my Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 machine isn't so bad that I still can't use it. My thought before I burn it off is to continue to use it as normal on the hot wash cycle with a load of clothes. Maybe it will just release itself over time. I'm not in a hurry, but I am vindictive against machines that do not cooperate with me. I bought them. Therefore, they report to ME. 🎉
I’m actually uploading a video right now. I have another one that I’m doing the tub hub. I used the torch and sometimes you get lucky. I was able to save it. I’m uploading it later today. Make sure it is not your suspension rods.
@@appliancerepairshorts That's a great point which I had tested last week. I did test the suspension rods by giving the "quick push". They immediately bounced one time and stopped. It's very similar to a suspension on a vehicle, which is something i'm used to working on. If shocks on a car continue to bounce, they're bad. To double check,I went into Home Depot and looked at new machines and performed the same test.
