What is the part # for the motor pulley for this washer? Can I just buy the pulley. How do I remove the old pulley from the shaft? Thanking You In Advance BOB

Bob for Model Number pav2200aww

Answer Hello Bob. 21001108 is the pulley. You will need to take a pair of channel lock pliers and pull it off. If it will not come off and has melted to the motor shaft, you will need to use a hammer and chisel and cut it off. Be careful not to damage the motor shaft.

My washer does not come up to full speed in the spin cycle. I replaced the thrust bearing and had little to no change. Is the motor two speed? If so, might the motor be bad and not going into high speed. Please advise.

Oilheatplus for Model Number mav408daww

Answer Oilheatplus, You will want to check the drain for being clogged or the bearings starting to go out. If this occurs then the unit will not drain fast enough to allow the motor to pull up to full spin. The drain should pump out all water within 90 seconds.

Maytag Washer MAV6000AWW Washer was only agitating the load if heavy duty and whites cycle selected; which I assume would be the strongest setting. Now the washer will not begin a spin cycle with water level full and I hear a humming and smell slight overheating.

Joseph for Model Number MAV6000AWW

Answer Joseph, You will want to check the drain pump to make sure that the bearings are not going bad. Also check the thrust bearing to make sure that the thrust is lifting the brake for the spin.

I recently took the agitator and basket out to clean out a lot of old soap scum and mineral deposits which seemed to always show up on my clothes. After reassembling with a new gasket, I notice a burning smell and the motor seems to heat up, but it will wash a load of laundry (both agitate and spin). I wonder if I did something that might be producing too much resistance to the motor and causing it to heat up. When I take the belt off and run the spin cycle, the motor doesn't heat up. Also, can you tell me where the brake is- you refer to it in other responses. Thank-you, Jeff

Jeff for Model Number MAV6000AWW

Answer Hello Jeff, You will want to check your thrust bearing which is the large pulley in the center to make sure that it is lifting the brake properly. If it is not lifting properly it will cause drag on the motor. Thrust bearing will actually meet up with the brake disc.

Washer makes loud grinding noise, mostly only during spin cycle. Will still complete the cycle but has now started getting very hot to the point of making the clothes hot even when washed in cold water. Took it mostly apart but couldnt see anything visibly wrong with it without removing the coil spring and digging deeper. Is it worth fixing, what could be the problem?

Carrie for Model Number cav2004aww

Answer Hello Carrie. You need to lean the washer back and lay where you can turn the pulleys by hand. Make sure you brace the washer so it does not fall on you. Remove the belt and turn the pulleys to find the issue with the unit. See if the thrust bearing is bad or the pump. It sounds like the pump may be the issue with the unit.

Why is my motor way too noisy when it's in operation. What would make it noisy? When you buy the motor assembly, is the pully was already included?

GENERARTOR2591 for Model Number Washing Machine model # MAV6451 AWW

Answer Hello Generartor2591, It may be something other than the motor that is making noise. You could take the belt off motor to see if it still makes the noise. Could be a bad thrust bearing or something in the pump or bearings on pump making noise. The pulley does come with the new motor.

Washer started to squel and just stopped.

Joe for Model Number mav6458aww

Answer Hello Joe, What you would want to do is to tilt unit back and pull belt off. Check the belt for wear and check water pump for damage. See if water pump will turn by hand. If it does not then you would want to replace pump 35-6780. Turn the thrust bearing and see if it lifts the brake. If it does not then you would want to replace the thrust bearing 12002213. Keep in mind that you have to turn pump thrust bearing clockwise to get it to raise the brake.

When running a wash cycle, my washer will fill the tub, but once the tub has been filled, it will not start to agitate without an assist (makes the humming noise of a stuck motor before it is assisted). If I assist it by rotating the tub a little, it will then begin to agitate and run as it normally does. It requires another little assist (by rotating the tub) again at the beginning of the rinse cycle. The spin cycle operates normally without needing an assist. Is this due to a weak and dying motor?

Ken for Model Number MAV6457AWW
