4KNTW4430EQ0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Watched a video on the internet.

Went on u tube saw different video to How disassemble the top to have access to the rod. Changing one by one those rod I was in need of my wife to hold the cover while I was changing the rod.... order for suspension rod kit. Reassemble the top by sliding the cover and to snap. Screw back the panel. And it solve the problem. My wife was really happy so me. It can be done by anybody but first go on the internet to get a idea.

slipped the new drain hose on and with locking plyers slipped the wire clap in place after three trys

Per instruction sent with purchase

I followed the instructions, however I did not have a spot to hold the bar temporarily, so I drilled a hole in the corner frame to hook them in at the front of the machine. All else was easy and according to the video.

Machine works great now.

Remove top of washer suspension
Rod goes on side of tub .

It was so simple. The staff person recommended that I just YouTube it and recommended other options. As I said it was simple,
Everything I needed was in the box.
I removed the new part from the box.
I used the equipment needed to remove the top of the Agitator's bolt.
Removed the old part, clean the inside area.
Installed the new part which took some hard pushing down onto center piece and replaced the bolt in the casing.
Placed the top back on and done.

Watched video and followed instructions. Removed rods from top cups, laid washer on its side and pulled them out. Put new rods thru, stood washer up and hooked them in. Was pretty easy, tube heavy but I'm 52 and I did it myself.
My only problem is there's no springs anywhere attaching rods to tub and I cannot find any info on 1. IF I need them 2. What kind I need. I sent email to partselect last week inquiring and still waiting to hear.

Ordered drain hose extender. It uses a rubber flange with hose clip to attach to washer's plastic hose. When tightened, the hose clip crushes the plastic hose and crimps it, causing a leak. My solution was to find a copper pipe flange that was the same diameter as the interior of the plastic hose to act as a bushing for the plastic hose. The hose clip could then be tightened without deforming the hose. Worked great with no leaks.

Just follow the video! Very easy.

Followed video provided by Part Select. Video made it look easier than it was but was very thorough and I was able to accomplish repair in less than an hour! The agitator before repair would bounce up and down when I pressed hard and let go. After repair it was much tighter!! Evidently this is a common problem with this design of Whirlpool washers!

followed video instruction that came with part. Previously watched youtube video (there are several, the low production videos are well worth viewing over the professional types). It was a breeze, other than the videos saying one person could do all four. When you get to the last rod, it is more difficult to lift the tub to insert the final rod in the round holder. I asked my wife for assistance.

I simply followed Steve's instructions on video. Very easy repair. Washer works great, no jumping or vibrating.

I used a jack to lift the tub and unhooked the rods and replaced them. Works great.
