Product review (5 stars): Fixed my UL code, and anyone can install these replacement parts.
I purchased this kit thinking it was a gamble... I purchased my whirlpool Cabrio washer from an estate sale for $200, and just didn't think it made sense to put money into it. I figured it was worth a shot to see if the $50 fix would work.

My washer was giving me the "f1" code and the "ul"... Not making it through the spin cycle anymore. I also got the airplane noise, as well as the dreaded "thump thump thump".

The repair fixed the washer... No more thumping. I am not getting the f1 code either, although it still makes the airplane noise during the spin cycle, so I figure there has got to be a baring going out or something. I am glad that my cheap washer is back to functioning with this fix.

A couple tips for the fix.... I needed two people to do it, despite the video showing it being done by one person. I was not strong enough to lift the drum and attach the new rod by myself. Also, opening the top of the washer was tricky bc every time I popped one side open, it would re-close before I could get the other side open. I figured out that I needed to prop open one side with a screw driver while I popped the other side.

I wasted time trying to do this fix by myself. Once I had help, it was done in less than half an hour.
