1 Answer Hello Brittny, a spanner wrench TB123B would be needed, other than that just standard tools are used, such as a ratchet socket set, flat/Philips screwdrivers, and a putty knife. Read More...

Jamie July 15, 2022 for Model Number WTW5000DW1 We would smell oil from time to time with our washer the other night during a wash cycle it started to smell really bad like it was "burning" but I dont want to call it burning cause it wasnt a fire smell. I took the washer back off and the bottom cover around the belt and its covered in oil..... how do I fix it? I dont have the 100's to spend on a new washer and I cant keep spending the crazy prices at the laundromat.
1 Answer Hello Jamie, the gearcase is leaking oil, it would have to be replaced,part W11454734. Read More...
Dennis Flowers October 26, 2021 for Model Number WTW5000DW2 Have oil under washer also makes squealing sound when spin cycle starts.
1 Answer Dennis, Check the pulley on the bottom of the tub to make sure that it is not loose. If it is then put some blue Loctite on the threads and tighten it back up and see if the issue stops. If this is not the case then the issue will most likely be the bearings that are bad and are part of the gearcase. Read More...
Maytag Owner April 14, 2021 for Model Number MVWX655DW1 Our Maytag Bravos Washer is making a noise when the tub spins. Upon tilting the machine over, there was some oil spots on the floor. Is this going to be a gear case replacement and does the bearing come with the gear case assembly. Looks like the assembly has the shaft and bearing. Is that the only bearing?
1 Answer Maytag Owner, You're pretty much on target, When a Bravos washer makes noise in the spin cycle it is usually due to a worn tub bearing. In this case, the bearing is internal to the gearcase assembly W11454734/W11454734 Gearcase, and it will need to be replaced. A few drops of oil is usually residual oil from the manufacturing and shipping process, but that issue will be resolved with the new gearcase assembly and basic cleanup. Thanks, Read More...
Steve February 09, 2021 for Model Number WTW5000DW0 I have a F7 E1 code, and a black oily spray pattern under the washer. What do I need to replace
1 Answer Steve, The error code referenced is for a machine that either does not reach spin speed in spin or one that has a power failure during the spin cycle. Unplug the washer for 5 minutes and then re start if all works then it just needed a hard reboot. If it continues then check for loose wiring connections to the mainboard and make sure not wires are broken or cut/damaged. Read More...
Joe November 14, 2020 for Model Number mvwx655dw I have an MVWX655DW Maytag bravos washer that spins violently during the spin cycle. I replaced the four springs around the basket, but that didn't help. Any tips on what to look for next? Should I take off the agitator or start from the bottom?
1 Answer Hello Joe, You need to make sure the top edge of the spin basket sounds like there is water in it. This is a saline solution used to balance the unit during the spin cycle. Also, make sure the unit is properly leveled and the floor is strong enough. A good test for the floor is to place a glass of water on the dryer. Make sure the washer and dryer are not touching and set the washer to spin. If the water in the dryer moves during the washers spin cycle, this is motion transferred through the floor. Read More...
Sharon June 11, 2020 for Model Number kenmore 10025132411 top load washer The unit makes noise, jumps like is off balance but the big thing is it has a smell like leaking motor oil. Did some checking, it seems like it is the gear case that would need to be replaced? As far as I have noticed it does fill spin & empty ok just, now that vibration & oil/ grease smell isn't right. There was a small amount of grease on the plastic boot like thing but I see grease/ oil on the white tooth gear.
1 Answer Sharon, unfortunately, the model number provided is not showing as a valid model. If the model and serial numbers could be verified and provided in a new inquiry, this will allow for the best information to be presented. However, based on the information provided, the gearcase would need to be replaced as it should not be leaking oil. Read More...
Richard December 03, 2019 for Model Number MVWX655DW1 My washer is leaking from underneath the washer. it was suggested that the bearing and the seal might be out. I cannot find these parts listed in the diagram. Is that because they are part of the gear case?
1 Answer Hello Richard, you are correct, if water is leaking past the outer tub and down onto the gearcase, then there is a problem with the gearcase to tub sealing, in that case the repair would be replacing the gearcase assembly W11454734. Read More...
