Machinefixerdan January 22, 2024 for Model Number LAT2914AAE I am trying to figure out how to fix my washer, model LAT2914AAE. My trusty Maytag washing machine was giving off a smoky smell, during regular agitation. I heard a big thump sound. I turned it off, then later put it on spin to drain the water. spins and drains ok. I read lots of blog entries and videos on your site. I am trying to figure out what the cause is and what repair/part to try first. 1. Motor and belts were replaced 3 years ago. (with parts and DIY from your site) The belts don’t look worn. I tried adjusting the tension. ?Q: Should I replace the belts anyway? 2. The sliders are old but do slide, about 1-2” without belts on. I noticed that when the belts are on, it does not slide very much (0.5”) maybe due to the tension with the transmission. ??Q: Should I start with replacing the sliders ??Q: Should I replace the belts also even if they look new??Q: The thicker belt goes on the transmission, right? 3. I can hand wind the transmission spindle but it moves easier one direction (counter clockwise (?), spinning the inner basket as in spin cycle) and has more friction the other direction. I read a comment that this is ok, yes ? 4. Q: How do I diagnose whether the transmission is bad… 5. Q: Should I replace the brake assembly and bearing? ?I don’t have the unavailable tool but might a spanner hook wrench work? Thank you for your advice and answers.
1 Answer Machinefixerdan, Check the drain pump to make sure that it is turning freely as this could cause the issue that is happening. Read More...
Jawahar November 05, 2021 Maytag LAT8616AAE 1. How do I remove brake assembly without Tool, Brake Pkg Assy TJ038315 / AP5632784? 2. Also drive pulley on the brake assembly turns anti-clockwise but stops when I turn clockwise. Does that mean it is failed brake assembly?
1 Answer Jawahar, For the second question, this would be normal operation of the brake. The brake will rotate counter-clockwise and will not move clockwise. The only way to get the brake off would be if you have a large pipe wrench to get around the brake. Read More...
