Leslie August 04, 2023 for Model Number WTW7600XW2 I ordered and received a "bearing and tub seal kit (w10435302). My question is: Would it be OK to lube the spindle where the basket fits on the spindle? The basket bearing appears to be make out of plastic. Also, I have the same question about the "basket hub kit" (w10820039). Would it be OK to lube the driver and driven gears as they are made out of plastic and probably come in contact with water in the wash cycle. Thank you, Les Larson
1 Answer Hello Leslie, no lube is needed in either case, any lube would quickly wear off and possibly stain the clothes being laundered. Read More...
Fred May 03, 2023 for Model Number MVWB450WQ2 what type of sealant/adhesive can I use to the tub seal? My son-in-law ordered the bearing and tub seal kit but we seem to have misplaced the tube of adhesive.
Eric March 27, 2023 for Model Number WTW6200SW3 I've pressed the bearings in, all seemed to go smoothly. However, the shaft doesn't seem to go low enough. I've pressed the bearings several times and I still do not have enough threads on the bottom of the machine to put the shaft nut on properly with threads showing after it's tight. This is also witnessed by the drive hub/driven hub not sitting low enough to sit flush against the tub when re-assembled. I have confirmed that the collar on the shaft is sitting flush against the top bearing. Is my spacer potentially offset causing the top bearing to not seat fully? The bottom bearing seems to be seated appropriately.
1 Answer Eric, the top bearing should be recessed into the tub which would allow the driveshaft to seat down fully for the threads to be exposed. If the top bearing is not recessed down, it is possible that the bearing sat crooked into the tub and would need to be corrected. Read More...
Rachelanne February 27, 2023 for Model Number mtw6700tq1 Just completed bearing replacement and have a slight worry. Once all back together I gave the impeller a slight nudge. It rotates smoothly almost 360 degrees but feels like the rotor is rubbing someplace on the stator. Took the rotor off and tried multiple times to reposition it but always get a very light rub or scuffing at some point. Just a degree or two long. Loosened and re-tightened the stator and don't see any damage to stator or rotor. I didn't drop anything. But I did break two 2x4 boards trying to free the basket with the jack. Does the rotor have an index mark for installing?
1 Answer Hello RachelAnne, the outer tub is the structural component for the alignment of the drive shaft bearings and the shaft itself, it may be slightly warped at this point, it is part W10193886, there is no index point needed for installing the rotor. Read More...

Mike December 05, 2022 for Model Number MVWB850YG1 When pressing the bearings into a Maytag Bravos XL washer, are they to be pressed in until they contact the spacer? I pressed mine in until tight, being careful not to over tighten. However, there is now a slight gap between the spacer and the bearings, and I'm worried the spacer may rattle while washer is spinning. The video never mentioned anything regarding the spacer placement, and how to keep it centered if contact is necessary. Thanks!
Daniel November 19, 2022 for Model Number MVWB725BW0 I need the correct part number to order the bottom bearing. I ordered a set of bearings and the bottom one is too big
1 Answer Daniel, Thanks for the question!!! Maytag shows to order bearing/shaft kit W10435302 and the tool W10447783. Read More...
Blaine October 19, 2022 for Model Number WTW7340XWO The kit I’m looking at says nothing about a small spacer pipe between bearing and washer . Would like to confirm this small spacer pipe comes with this kit? Thanks. Hope my question makes sense.
