I dont know all the details as i am writing this for a friend. But as i understand, the washer does not agetate, spin nor does all the water drain out of it. She did laundry and majority of water drained but there was still 2 to 3 inches at the bottom, it does sound like something is moving within, but i see nothing happening,,all help is appreciated. Thank You,,

This is pretty old washer which is not easy to fix by DIY person. Also at least 50% of parts for this washer are no longer available.

If you feel comfortable to fix it, then I need more detailed description on the problem. What it does when it should agitate and/or spin? Does the motor work? Does it make any noise?

I have a Whirlpool Imperial Seventy LA7800XPW. The washer does not agitate, spin, or pump the water out. The motor runs, the belt is intact but loose. I haven't done any troubleshooting, but I tilted the machine to see if there was a belt and if it was broken. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Bob

Remove the rear access panel. Loosen the nut holding the motor mounting bracket in the slotted baseplate hole. Rotate the motor to the left to increase the belt tension. Tight the nut and give it a try.

I love this website! However as I'm not one to give up when the parts list for my Whirlpool model # LA7800XPW1 showed that the pump was not available, I continued to search the internet. Found it at SEARS

Nice to see somebody talking about the LA7800XPW. Its a good machine that has served me well. Until the problem:

It broke a part I identified as a 350384, its a pin that goes in a solenoid and slides along a gear shifting slider. I found and purchased the part online, even though Whirlpool says its no longer available.

Now the hard part: How do I get to the place to replace it? Either I have to release the arm that holds the solenoid, or the guide track it slides on. What moves? How and where do I release it (and then put it back)?
