Lamoyne B Waverly , IA January 30, 2015 Appliance: Model MAYTAG FRONT LOAD MODEL MAH5500BWW Leaking seal which caused bearings to go bad Put in both bearings and a new seal kit. The video on replacing the seal kit was very helpful to show how to dismantle the washer. Had to make my own bearing puller to remove old bearings. Putting the bearings in the freezer was a great suggestion. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
