Rocky November 19, 2016 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 i can not get the transmission and shaft out of the tub. help
1 Answer Rocky, You will want to make sure that you remove the spanner nut and the drive block on the unit and removed the inner tub. Once these are removed and you have removed the 3 bolts securing the transmission, you would simply need to pull the transmission out. You may have to lay the unit on its back in order to get it out as it may stick but pulling on it hard enough should free it up. Read More...
Alan N. April 11, 2016 for Model Number WASHER MVWC300WV1 Washer does not agitate but the spin cycle works fine. I changed the cam dogs but it still did not spin. I pulled the transmission and when I turn the input shaft from the motor side the main shaft for the agitator it spins in one direction but not the other and I do not know if this is normal. I pulled the cover and all the gears look fine with minimal ware. I do not know how you test the clutch assembly or if that will cause this problem.
1 Answer Hello Alan, The machine should be opened and the transmission removed to inspect the coupler 285753A, and the clutch and brake W10820043 assemblies. If no problems are found with these, the next suspect is the gearcase 3360629. Read More...
Louis C. December 13, 2015 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW0 My Maytag Centennial washer is starting to agitate as soon as the knob is pushed in, before the water starts filling. I never did that before. Also I replaced the clutch because the clothes were wet at the end of the cycle but I just found out that just before it stops spinning it is running more water into the tub, not a lot but enough to make the clothes wet again. Is the control board toast or is there something else I should check first. Thanks
L.J. July 15, 2015 for Model Number 110.23034101 I replaced the clutch for intermittent problems with spinning and high pitched squealing noise when spinning. It fixed the spinning problem but not the squealing noise. In fact the squealing noise got worse. Can you help with what might be the problem?
1 Answer Hello L.J., A high pitched squealing sound is normally an item in the drain pump WP3363394 which can sometimes be removed from the drain pump and sometimes causes the drain pump to have to be replaced. Read More...
Lj May 03, 2015 for Model Number 110.23034101 Planning to replace the clutch due to intermittent problems with not spinning. Do I need to order the clutch lining kit in addition to the clutch? And also, should I replace the motor coupling at the same time?
1 Answer LJ, The clutch lining comes with the clutch and it would not hurt to replace the motor coupling at the same time although not necessary. Read More...
Gary - Nc June 07, 2014 for Model Number MVWC6ESWW1 Maytag Centennial washer - on 'Heavy Duty' cycle, with a full load, when it starts agitating there is a nasty grinding clunking noise. If we stop the washer and switch it to 'Normal' cycle, there is no noise during agitation. Does this sound like a clutch, or something else?
1 Answer Gary, Based on the problem description this issue sounds like it would be caused by a gearcase issue. The gearcase part number is 3360629. Read More...
Carmine April 02, 2013 for Model Number 110.2494 Kenmore washer, replaces the clutch part 8299642 and this was sent with a green spring. The one in the machine has a blue spring. Should I use the green spring or should I use the old blue one with the new clutch? Thans for your help. Carmine- CT
Jay April 02, 2013 for Model Number 110.2494 I purchased a new clutch for my washer. The original clutch has a blue spring and the new one has a green spring. Will this be ok since I read somewhere that the colors represent different tension for larger or smaller tubs. Should I just use the old blue spring on the new clutch?
1 Answer Hello Jay, I would use the old one to avoid issues since you are correct on the different spring tensions. Read More...
Ray March 15, 2013 for Model Number 110.24944300 My washer works but the problem is it doesn't spin when the water drains. Can this be because of the clutch?
Mike December 09, 2012 for Model Number 11024994300 Hi after spin still the cloths wet . Some time doens't spin but the motor runs no spin. When turn the barrel half turn start spin. Stays wet.
1 Answer Hello Mike, You would want to check to see if your drain pump and drain lines are clogged. Make sure that the vanes on the pump look good and nothing blocking water from pumping through smoothly. Also check your pressure hose to make sure that it does not have a clog to it or being kinked causing the pressure switch to think that there is still water in unit. Read More...
