Sandy May 31, 2015 for Model Number mav3905aww How is the lower bearing replaced in my model do you take apart from the bottom or the top?
1 Answer Hello Sandy. Spin Bearing Replacement 1. Disconnect power supply to unit. 2. Press the Spin Bearing out of the cavity from the opposite side of the housing. 3. When installing the replacement bearing into the housing cavity, be sure to press against the outer race of the bearing to avoid damage to the bearing shield and causing premature failure.

1 Answer Hello Roman. The first thing to check would be the thrust bearing 12002213 on the unit. If it is good, then the transmission is bad and will need to be replaced if the motor is running during the spin cycle. If the motor does not run, check the lid switch in the unit. Read More...
Dee A. May 20, 2015 for Model Number CW5500W My washer was making a lot of noise & grinding sound on the spin cycle. I was able to stop it for a while by re-balancing the load. Now it will no longer agitate at all. It fills & empties, will spin with terrible noise, but no agitation. Do I need to replace the entire transmission or is there another fix that I can try first?
1 Answer Dee, Before you replace the transmission, check the drive pulley and thrust bearing assembly 12002213. If or when the assembly gets distorted or damaged, and depending on how bad, there will be quite a bit of noise from the drive system and intermittent operation of the agitate and spin modes.

Matt F March 17, 2015 for Model Number Maytag MAV408DAWW Maytag washer recently started to not spin during the spin cycle. I noticed that the tub would move clockwise/counterclockwise easily but I could turn clockwise a little further and it would get some tension from somewhere and start to spin during the spin cycle. The washer has gotten progressively louder during the past two weeks. As preventative maintenance and from suggestion on here I replaced the Thrust bearing, snubber ring, belt and tub springs. I thought I had the issue fixed after that repair but the loud noise has come back again as of last night and again the tub would spin clockwise/counterclockwise until I rotated clockwise into the "locking" position. What part might you suggest I replace in order to remedy this issue? Would I be able to get the seal nut off without the specialized tools?
1 Answer Matt, You will want to check the pump assembly to make sure that the pulley on the pump is spinning freely with no resistance. The other thing would be the tub bearing being bad and needing to be replaced. The seal nut can be taken off using a pipe wrench to grab ahold of it and turn it off. The part number that you would need is W10219156. Read More...
Kkd December 30, 2014 for Model Number MAV8557AWW I am trying to remove the lower bearing. Brake assembly is off, but bearing will not slide up and off the trans shaft. Is there a clip or something holding it on? Or maybe just frozen and needs a good beating to get off? Thank you!
1 Answer Kkd, If you have removed the 3 screws holding the bearing assembly in place and it will not move then you may need to carefully tap it off. Read More...
Edward S December 21, 2014 for Model Number MAV7600AWW How do you replace the lower bearing? My guess is that you have to remove the clutch assembly, and if so, how do you release the spring preload?
1 Answer Edward, In order to replace the lower bearing you would need to remove the thrust bearing and the brake assembly from the unit. To do this it required a special tool. The tool has been discontinued but what you could do is take one of the screws out and match up the threading. Make sure that screws that you get, which you would need 2 of, are about 1 1/2 inches long. Put one screw where you took the other out but do not tighten all the way and then one across from it. These will be used for releasing the tension and putting the brake assembly back on. Read More...
John J June 18, 2014 for Model Number mav208daww do you have a video on how to replace the lower bearing on this maytag washer #mav208daww and do you sell the spanner wrench for this model, thank you.
1 Answer Hello John! Unfortunately the spanner wrench for this model number is not available. You can try finding a big enough pipe wrench to go around the nut and tap it off. I've sent you a copy of the service manual for reference on how to remove and install the part. Thanks! Read More...

Carl D. June 05, 2014 for Model Number Maytag Performa PAVT234AWW Washer seems to work fine until the spin cycle, makes a sound like gravel rubbing together (or bone dry bearings) when the spin cycle starts and gets progressively louder the faster the tub spins becoming a fairly loud roar. My guess was tub bearings but another person here with a similar symptoms was told it he needed a tub seal kit. I really would like to buy the right part the first time around, if possible, lol!

Earl S. March 02, 2014 for Model Number mav4755aww When spinning fast the washer makes a loud "airplane noise". Would that be the lower bearing going bad? It started a couple of weeks ago. Is this hard to fix, and could it be something else?
1 Answer Earl, based on the information given you'll need to replace the tub seal kit part number W10219156. Thanks! Read More...
