Washer won't drain or pump keeps running? This drain pump circulates and removes water during wash cycles. Common DIY repair, typically 15-30 minutes.
The original pump was getting jammed intermittently, more and more often. I cleaned it out, but that didn't help the jamming. So I ordered a new pump. Have your new pump on hand and look at it to see how it attaches. The original pump, a different part number than the replacement, lasted about 7 years of almost everyday use, with multiple loads each day. My washer model Maytag MHW5500FW0 has the pump at the bottom back, in an awkward position. This took me about 2 hours due to the awkward... Read more
Upper agitator not spinning or turning freely? This short cam agitator repair kit includes dogs, cam, and retainer. DIY-friendly 10-minute repair.
I searched the internet for the most likely cause of the problem and then went to the AppliancePartsPros.com site to see if they had the parts. Naturally they did, but the best part was that they had a video on how to change the part. The video was very clear and straightforward. So easy to follow. I ordered the part mid-day on a Thursday. Imagine my surprise when later that day an email came in letting me know that the part was already shipped! The next day the part was on my front... Read more
Washer won't drain or spin? A failed water pump is often the cause. This pump circulates and drains water during wash cycles. DIY repair in 1-2 hours.
There was a loud noise from my washer during the drain cycle. (The washer seemed to drain just fine.) It was pretty easy to determine that the noise was coming from the drain pump. (Which for my washer is behind the front lower inspection panel on the right side front.) I inspected the outside of the pump for any physical damage and verified no issues with the pump or the mounts. Everything seemed ok. I then checked the drain pump filter(You will need something to catch water if you do... Read more

Seals the center post/agitator shaft to prevent water leaks during wash cycles. Replace if you notice pooling water under your washer. Confirm fit with your model.
I had previously replaced the pump about 1 year ago. That was not the problem. Still leaked the same way - intermittently, but always in the center of the washer onto the floor. None of the hoses were leaking - no evidence of corrosion or water mineral residue at any of the hose fittings. So, it must have been something else. I studied the parts diagram for the washer tub assembly and concluded the source of the leak almost had to be the outer tub's Centerpost Gasket. It was really the... Read more
Fix no cold water, leaking when off, or pulsating fill issues. This water inlet valve controls hot and cold water flow. 15-25 minute DIY repair.
Replacing the water inlet valve fixed the problem. For many months we noticed cold water was just dribbling into the washer during the rinse cycle, and "warm" washes were hot not warm. It seemed like the cold water wasn't able to enter the machine. Then one day the cycle just stopped when it reached "rinse" and wouldn't go any further. I first tried solving it by cleaning the filter where the cold water hose enters the machine at the back. It was coated in sediment (the water comes from a... Read more

Washer won't spin or agitate? A worn drive block often causes spinning failure. This connects the transmission to the tub. Moderately difficult repair.
Replaced washer drive block and Cam. I called around and finally settled on Appliance Parts Pros because they helped diagnose the problem, told me what parts to replace and had videos to show me how to do it. In completing the repair I had to remove quite a few pieces of hardware in order to get at the part I was to replace. The videos helped but there is a learning curve while you familiarize yourself with the parts and figure out how the remove them. Eventually I got to a large nut that,... Read more
Drive belt transmits motor power to drum for wash and spin cycles. Replace if washer won't spin, makes noise, or belt shows wear. Confirm fit by model.
I Purchased a new belt and replaced it. If I had not watched the video telling me how it is done the job would have been much more difficult. After watching the video I changed the belt in less than 2 minutes. I ordered the belt from Appliance Parts Pros and got it the next day. I am thankful that when I started my search I landed on your web site. Thanks for the quick service and the video. Read more
Replacement door hinge for front-load washers and dryers. Attaches door to cabinet for smooth opening and closing. Needed when hinge is cracked or worn.
I ordered the new hinge and the cap they said would be needed, took the door apart and installed new hinge. Only problem, wish they told me I needed 4 of the caps, for one hinge and each cap was 11.95 x 4...pretty spendy. Fortunately I was able to reuse 3 of my worn ones for now. Read more
Fix a washer that won't spin or agitate with a new transmission. Common symptoms include loud clunking noises or clothes staying wet after cycles.
Using appliancepartspros.com site took washer apart to diagnose bad clutch. The clutch was bad but once inside I noticed grease everywhere and after a quick online chat with rep. determined gear case was leaking and needed replacement. Replaced clutch & gear case. Followed video tutorial and took a little more than 30 minutes start to finish for me - I have no experience. The most difficult part for me was actually just getting the retainer ring (little wire) to secure clutch in place-took... Read more
Replacement tub centering springs for washers. Maintains proper tub alignment and positioning within the cabinet. Replace if springs are missing or broken.
After looking up the model number of my washing machine on AppliancePartsPros.com I ordered the suspension rod kit, two sets of tub centering springs (one spring per corner), a Ring-Tub (mine was breaking apart due to banging around) and a spare suspension bearing kit in case I need it later. I spoke to a very helpful customer service rep on the phone just before placing my order. They have customer service representatives answering the phone late at night. I was surprised. All of my parts were... Read more
Replacement tub suspension pads for washing machines. Install under the tub to cushion and stabilize during spin cycles. Replace if cracked or missing.
First went through the troubleshooting guide on the website and read the various stories and watched the repair videos for replacing the springs and suspension pads. Then before ordering any parts disassembled the machine only to the point of removing the cabinet to see if there were any obvious issues. The springs appeared OK but I couldn't tell of they were fatigued or not and all were in place but the tub suspension pads were definitely worn out. I then put the machine back together and went...

Suspension bearing kit supports the tub assembly in top-load washers. Replace if bearings are worn, cracked, or causing excessive tub movement or noise.
Thrust bearing kit enables smooth transmission engagement in your washer. Replace if machine won't spin, makes grinding noise, or needs push-starting. Verify fit with your model number.
My Maytag washer make a loud screech when the washer tub needed to be stopped by the brake. Last year, I had replaced the suspension springs, the snubber ring, the drive belt and the drain pump. Those repairs worked fine, but a few weeks later, the screeching noise started. So I figured it was the brake system. I thought it would be better to replace the brake rotor and stator together as a set since I was going to disassemble both and they were 18 years old anyway. I decided to replace the... Read more
