I have a 5 year old Whirlpool Gold washing machine. It has been
working pretty well for years. As a matter of fact it is still
working, however, it vibrates horribly when coming out of spin cycle.
It sounds like a large rig when they use the Jake brakes (hope i
spelled that right). It happens every time the washer ends a spin
cycle. I have manually turned the drum and can feel the thumping point
twice per revolution. When I look at the brake kit on the internet it
looks as if it has two large catches or pawls or something on it. It
also costs about $90! Anybody have any ideas as to what EXACTLY is
causing this? Also, I assume the brake is just to speed the cycle up.
If the brake is the problem, can I electrically disable it?

Thanks!

Why fix it? The ladies in the neighborhood may enjoy leaning up against it
while doing laundry. You have a potential money maker there.

Hey polock eddy. If you got nothing to add, just STFU. Sick of your
useless posts. Your mom know her son is a post whore?
