George January 17, 2018 for Model Number MAT12PDLAW Clothes are soaking wet, but when we test the function it cycles, drains. Under load do you think that the brake assembly is at fault for not spinning to a clothes dryable?
1 Answer George, This issue will most likely be caused by a brake that is not fully releasing but check the belts to make sure that they are not worn. Read More...

Dave December 23, 2016 for Model Number LAT9704AAE Our washer will not do the spin cycle. I have changed the belt and springs, but still will not spin. If I set it on the spin and hand turn the drum it will start to spin slowly then pick up speed when the drum is empty. Could this be the brake assembly or the trans dee? Thank you
1 Answer Dave, it's probably neither. check the motor carriage and make sure it moves freely back and forth. Make sure the belts are adjusted properly. Install the belts, hold the motor in position and squeeze the pump belt in the center, the interior surfaces should barely touch each other. If all's OK, then you'll need to check and replace the tub bearing and tub seal assemblies. Read More...
Helpdc September 25, 2016 for Model Number LAT2300AAE Just installed new tub bearing kit and tub seal kit, that I purchased from you. Stopped my tub leak. Now when the washer spins it makes a really loud roaring sound. It is quiet during wash, rinse and drain cycles. Any suggestions on problem.
1 Answer HelpDC, There is a bearing at the top of the brake housing that could be faulty and causing the roaring noise. The bearing part number would be WP22003441. Read More...
Fred J May 11, 2016 for Model Number Matag A112 The washer squeals when the drum stops. Do I need a new brake assembly or is there a way to oil it? Thanks!
Bob December 15, 2015 for Model Number pav4960aww Spin cycle is fine with loud squeal on completion. Washing cycle makes loud noise with little movement of agitator. I removed the belt and unable to manually turn the pulley clockwise. I removed brake assembly and can manually turn the shaft clockwise. The brake assembly looked fine.What could be the cause?
1 Answer Bob, For the issue of the squeal on completion of the spin cycle, this would be a brake issue. The pulley not turning clockwise with the belt off would most likely be a thrust bearing issue. Read More...
Herb October 11, 2015 for Model Number LAT9235AAE All the cycles work on our washer until final spin cycle. The motor and drain pump are spinning ok, but the belt for drum doesn't spin and there is a squealing noise.
1 Answer Herb, This issue would most likely be caused by a brake assembly that is not disengaging and causing the squealing noise along with the no spin issue. Read More...

Ben October 31, 2014 for Model Number Maytag washer A606 this is my BRAKE ASSEMBLY >>>> http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-brake-asse-6-2011900-ap4373089.html is it supposed to have OIL in it ??? it has a gasket like an auto transmission case... and it HAD OIL IN IT before I cleaned it, but now I am wondering if the squeaking is the brake shoes needing OIL. What viscosity oil & how to put it back in ?
1 Answer Ben, If your brake package WP6-2011900 is the original equipment, it is slightly different that the photo of the more recent version, and a little easier to work with. Yes, the brake package is a "wet" brake system and does get lubricated if the brake starts to squeak. You lubricate the brake with one(1) teaspoon of Maytag transmission lube, or 90 weight gear oil will also work. you can use a teaspoon to install the oil. put the brake package on it's side. place the spoon into and against the brake rotor, tilt the spoon up and allow the oil to trickle over the rolled edge of the outer ring(stator). let the brake package set for a few minutes to allow the oil to equalize and distribute evenly throughout the package. Once the package is installed and the washer is level, put the timer in the final spin and start the cycle, lift the lid a few times so the tub stops spinning, this will help distribute the oil and help the cork core absorb the oil.

Mike G October 11, 2014 for Model Number MAT12CSFWQ It seems that the brake is sticking. When it should agitate it spins and water comes over the top. I taped the brake back and it worked good for a while. Do I need a new brake or is it the bearing...?
1 Answer Mike, This issue would not have anything to do with the bearing but would be more likely that the brake is bad and would need to be replaced. The part number for the brake is WP6-2011900. Read More...
