Bob March 13, 2017 for Model Number maytag washer model a 211 series 11 ser# 129252bm The transmission and tub turn hard on spin, making belt slip on start up.
1 Answer Hello Bob, I'm sorry but the belt is designed to slip upon start-up on this design. This allows time for the water to drain before getting to top speed, which would cause the centrifugal force to make the water "jump" the tub, putting water in the floor. The issue is most likely a seizing spin bearing. This would require both the replacement of the tub bearing repair kit 6-2040130 and the mounting stem repair kit 6-2095720. Read More...
Paul September 27, 2016 for Model Number HAV2360AWW Washer was extremely loud during rinse and spin, almost grinding. Upon further research, thought it was the thrust bearing. Replaced the bearing but the noise still exists. Now I'm thinking it's the tub bearing? Also upon moving the washer, found lots of white plastic particles underneath. Any thoughts? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Paul. You will need to check the pump for the noise. Turn it by hand. If it drags, replace the pump WP35-6780. Sounds like that going to be the issue. For the white shavings, replace the snubber WP21002026. Read More...
Lashawn September 03, 2016 for Model Number AAV8000AWW My washer fills with water. But after filling up it did not agitate and there was a funny smell like burning. I will not spin so now I have a machine full of clothes and water.
1 Answer Lashawn, The most likely cause for this issue would be a drain pump that is faulty. You will want to check the pump to see if the pulley will spin if it will not or the bearing is coming out then this will be the issue and pump will need to be replaced. Read More...

Adrian C April 03, 2016 for Model Number MAV2755AWW When my washer goes into cycle it doesn't agitate, Is just sits there unit it reaches the spin cycle then it agitates while spinning but then starts making a clacking noise while spinning. Also seem to slow down a bit and leaves clothes a little damper than usual. Also it seems like when it makes the clacking noise the washer spin slows down and looks like the agitator gets stuck cause it the washer spins but agitator doesn't move. Have any idea what it could be?
1 Answer Adrian, With this issue it would most likely be caused by a faulty thrust bearing. The part number for the thrust bearing is 12002213. Read More...
Roy February 29, 2016 for Model Number MAV4757AWW Is there a video for replacing the lower bearing kit (part # 12001562 ) ?

Doug February 17, 2016 for Model Number MAV208DAWW My washer makes a sound during the rinse cycle only that sounds like a Gatling gun. The rest of the time it sounds normal. When it has completed through all cycles, the clothes are still sopping wet. I have already replaced the thrust bearing, drive belt, and water pump. I have taken the tub completely out and verified there are no obstructions as well as none in the drain hoses. What is next? Tub Bearing? Transmission?
1 Answer Hello Doug, If there is no problem with the brake rotor WP35-6714, the issue is most likely in the spin bearing and transmission 35-6615, (lower spin bearing part of transmission assembly). Read More...
Ken September 26, 2015 for Model Number MAV4755AWW I am in the process of replacing the transmission lower bearing part #12001562. I have a 3 jaw puller and pipe and cap to protect the transmission drive shaft. My problem is once I get it off how do I press on the new bearing?
1 Answer Ken, The bearing on the unit does not need a puller or anything. The bearing is screwed into the tub and if you are doing the lower bearing it is screwed into place. Read More...
Larry July 10, 2015 for Model Number MAV7657EWW The washer will fill up with water. When it is time to start to wash (agitate) the clothes the washer starts making a load grinding noise? I can turn the knob to the spin cycle (because it won't wash) and the water will drain out of the tub and the tub will start spinning with no noise at all. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Larry, The issue with the unit making a grinding noise in the agitation would be caused by either a bad thrust bearing or a bad transmission. Read More...
Mark June 19, 2015 for Model Number Maytag Atlantis Washer fills up starts to agitate then the motor seems to get warm and kicks out. Does the same in spin. Pump spins free. Motor spins free. When the motor cools down it will start again then kick out again. Any ideas? Thank.
1 Answer Hello Mark. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
