John August 16, 2016 for Model Number 11021302013 I cannot find my specific model when searching for compatibility. Will this gear case work for my model number? Also, the picture appear to have the tub seal included with the gear case assembly. Is this accurate or do I need to purchase the seal (AP4567772) separately? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello John. No, you will need to order W11454372 for the gear case and seal needed. Read More...
Shirley June 13, 2016 for Model Number mvwc400xw maytag When it spins my clothes get black oil on them Help me please

Rich February 16, 2016 for Model Number WTW4950XW2 I am reasonably sure that the gearcase needs replacing on mine, based on the noise. It had been working (while extremely noisy) till now, but it stopped spinning the clothes out and then stopped altogether. In manual test mode when I activate the low spin or high spin, the motor starts to turn for a few seconds then it just peters out, so my question is, although I can spin it by hand, is it not able to get the drum spinning now because there is just too much resistance due to the bad bearings?
1 Answer Rich, You will want to check the pulley on the bottom of the unit to ensure that it is on tight and if the pulley is tight then based on the noise issue it does sound like it would be a bearing issue. The gearcase would need to be replaced for this issue. Read More...
David January 06, 2016 for Model Number wtw555oxwo have a water leak at bottom of machine, disconnected all hoses and power, flipped over, checked pump (no signs of leakage) hoses all good. Looks like water coming from center behind the drive pulley. took off center pulley and belt. unhooked all wire plugs. Is it just the 4 bolts that hold the whole assy.?is there a seal on shaft that is leaking? machine was starting to make loud noises while in spin mode. also at times have to reset controls for it to continue to wash.? your time and effort in this matter is greatly appreciated. thank-you
1 Answer Hello David. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the gear case W11132267 has failed and the seal and bearings are bad. You can only get the bearings with this part. Read More...
Paul December 10, 2015 for Model Number MVWC400XW3 During the wash cycle when washer gets to spin lid lock unlocks and it won't spin. I think it off balance. Going through test Mode I notice the tub wobbles a little when I spinning it by hand. When I was checking the rpm senser but everything else is fine . So I'm figuring it's either the tub the driveshaft or if it is it can waddle a little then it's the motherboard. Any thoughts
1 Answer Hello Paul. You need to check the bearings and shocks on the unit. If good, replace the main board on the unit. Read More...
Josh November 08, 2015 for Model Number WTW5640XW1 My Cabrio was leaking pretty bad and I thought it was just the rubber drain plug. I replaced the drain plug yet it still leaks. Now, after inspecting the gearcase with the drain plug on it, it appears that the leak is between the drain plug and the shaft. The shaft also moves a lot from side to side, roughly 1/8-1/4 of movement. Is this a faulty gearcase, or just a bad new drain plug?
Kurt September 12, 2015 for Model Number Maytag MVWC450XW3 Machine is loud during spin cycle only, like a high speed bearing is wearing out. Otherwise sounds fine, works fine.
1 Answer Hello Kurt. You will need to order the gear case W11132267 and replace it to replace the bearings. Read More...
Stacy July 01, 2015 for Model Number MVWC400XW1 On the Spin Cycle, the machine sounds like an airplane taking off. What parts to buy to fix.
1 Answer Hello Stacy, This is going to be a failed spin bearing. You will need to replace the tub seal W10324647 and the spin bearing which comes with the gearcase W11132267. Read More...
Dave June 10, 2015 for Model Number whirpool washer model #wtw5600xwo Is the basket just pushed onto the gearcase shaft or do you have to do something with those 3 circular metal pc's that surround the shaft under the agitator. I unscrewed the top ring or nut,, whatever you call that and saw and loosened the 6 screws on the bigger pc. Does anything else need to be unscrewed or loosened. the washer is a little over 3 yrs. old . Can't tell for sure with the gunk built up around it.
1 Answer Hello Dave. It should lift out now. Some of these are extremely hard to remove if the shaft is rusty. Read More...
Dan April 01, 2015 for Model Number WTW4950XW2 Washer less then 4 yrs old. Making an extremely loud noise during the spin cycle (sounds like an airplane taking off!). I'm suspecting the gearcase is bad. Started disassembling machine, everything appeared to be in it's place and tight. Removed impeller and tub ring. Unable to pull basket off of shaft (tried spraying with penetrating oil...no luck). Went to the bottom, disconnected all the harnesses, removed 4 screws holding gearcase assembly on...unable to pull gear case assembly off of basket and tub. Following instructions in tech manual (http://applianceassistant.com/ServiceManuals/w10329932_l-84_whirlpool_vertical_modular_washer.pdf). Baffled. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated on getting things apart, as well as if the gearcase is a likely culprit of the noise.
1 Answer Dan, With the washer screaming during spin cycle then it is most likely the gearcase that is the issue as the gearcase has the bearings in it. For removal of the tub, you may have to try wobbling the tub from side to side to get it freed up. It sounds like it is just stuck from possible old detergent build up. Read More...
