I removed the clutch pulley bolt and belt fine, now how does the clutch actually come off? Should it just slide down with some rocking/prying motion? Or do I need to remove the 6 bolts mounting the tranny and tub also?

I have only got 4 of them off so far after 3 hours of using socket, extension, wd-40, cordless impact and even tried a mixing drill for high torque. I have secured the tub from spinning using an extension as per SM.

Only thing left to try is hauling compressor to basement for even more impact. What am I missing here? Everyone else had so much success?

I found $8.34 in the tub so far. ($1 & $2 coins in Canada)

Sorry to hear the upper control board did not fix your timer problem. The clutch is not related to this problem.

Thanks! Ill just part it out and get a new simple one,
Appreciate your efforts.

FWIW--- if there is a rust and corrosion problem in the area of the clutch or housing bolts there is a product you can usually get at a drug store that may help to get them loose. It is supposed to work better than penetrating oil or rust buster. It is called Oil of Wintergreen. I work on cars and motorcycles and this is mentioned by several people who say it works very well on rusted bolts and nuts on these . It may take a few applications but it is worth a try and it is not very expensive. Let everyone know if it works for you

I just had the same problem as Johnatevw.

At first, I was getting the dc/uc codes, along with a clicking sound as it was trying to spin. Being pretty handy, also used to be a service tech for exercise equipment, I got out the troubleshooting guide and went through the troubleshooting guide flow chart. The diagnostic code was 05 - Continuous unbalanced circuit. After realizing that all circuits were working, I got out the laptop and found this site. After reading all of Dick's VERY helpful posts and advice, I, too, came to the conclusion that it must be the one-way bearing. I took the front cover off and removed the clutch and found the bearing to be in good working order. Further checking revealed a broken spring at the bend where the white tab inserts. I bent the end of the spring around a small screwdriver shaft and inserted it back into the slot. I cleaned and lubed the bearing and movable parts while I had it disassembled. It's now in working order again. I left the front cover off and am running a load of clothes now. I wanted to watch it in action to make sure it's working correctly.
I have to say, this is the first problem we've had with this machine, 6800 TL, and we bought it in Feb of 2005. We have the matching dryer, and we can't complain about it. Well, the only complaint really is when I wash a load that has long johns in it, as it wrings those things up into knots. But other than that, I can't complain. Oh, and we have 4 kids, and I do about 9-13 loads a week!
Thanks again Dick for supporting us DIYers!
