Norman March 16, 2021 for Model Number MAH7500AWW I need to know the PN on the drive belt included in your AP4009041 kit. I have recently ordered a 12001788-KIT (from another vendor) and the belt is PN 62722870 which measures 52 5/8 long. My old belt is PN22002040 & measures 56 5/8 inches. There is no way I can get that belt to stretch 4 inches. I get halfway around the drum and that's all she wrote. Please advise--thanks.
1 Answer Hello Norman, I'm sorry but the manufacturer has not listed the part number of the belt in this kit. The dimensions of the belt are length 52 5/8", width 5/8". Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Malcolm December 29, 2020 for Model Number MAH5500BWW I bought a replacement belt and the two plastic inserts for the motor studs. Are there grooves on the tub wheel? The belt is grooved, the motor wheel is grooved, but the large wheel attached to the tub has edges but no grooves. Is it possible they melted smooth, as the drive belt began to fail? The belt keeps coming off no matter how I line up the pulley and belt.
1 Answer Malcolm, the pulley 22002315 is meant to be flat. It would be recommended that the pulley is inspected to identify if it has any play as it should not wiggle around. If it does, this is usually caused by the lock nut lossening. Read More...
Larry April 18, 2020 for Model Number MAH5500BWW Our Neptune washer slipped a belt, cutting partially into the tub casting in the process, but not through the tub. I ordered your replacement built kit, AP4009041 for Maytag 12001788 and replaced the Isolators and Built. Built will Not stay on tub wheal (Pulley Spinner). Keeps slipping off towards tub when I rotate wheel by hand to test before closing up rear inspection panel. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thank you - Larry Cell 303-913-5524
1 Answer Hello Larry, as with all pulleys with belts the pulleys have to line up correctly (in the same plane) otherwise the belt will run off one or the other pulley. Try to measure across the pulleys with a straight edge or something similar to test. The mounting for the motor may have shifted in some way or the plastic driven pulley(spinner) 22002315 may be warped. Read More...
Dennis June 19, 2017 for Model Number MAH6500AWW I need to replace the belt on my Maytag Neptune clothes washer. There are two numbers on the old belt: PN 62722870 and 1411J 6 MAEL. Is your part number Part Number: AP4009041 the correct one? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dennis, The part numbers on the belt are most often vendor numbers and are not useful in locating replacement parts. The part number you need as looked up by the model number provided is 12001788. Read More...
Juan H. February 13, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool washer drive belt: 12001788 My laundry room got flooded and my washing machine is not working anymore.

John E October 09, 2016 for Model Number MAH5500BWW I have recently replaced the tub bearing and the washing is working. However, I have noticed a squeaking noise that happens when the unit is in the washing cycle. It appears to happen when the drum changes direction. Is there an issue with the belt or pulley?
1 Answer John, The unit making a squeaking noise during reverse rotation of the drum would normally indicate a possible belt slipping. You will want to double check the belt and pulley. Read More...
Robert Dehaan October 05, 2016 for Model Number MAH5500BWW Washer makes a loud knocking noise when in the high speed spin mode with a standard load of washing in it. I'm guessing that the isolator bushings and the belt need replacing. I have replaced the tub bearing and seal. The tub spins without making the noise it produced when the bearing failed. Your thoughts? Thank you!
1 Answer Robert, a worn out isolator(s) could make a knocking noise, but not like what you're describing. You most likely have a loose tub support or a cracked/broken arm on the spinner support assembly W10181639. The weight of wet clothes would cause the spin basket to "wobble" and hit the outer tub making the noise you hear now. Read More...
James E. R May 12, 2015 Ref belt on mmh5500bww,agree with other writers, the Brazil belt marked 62722870 Maytag 1411J 6 MAEL hutchinson POLY-V is 52 in long. The proper belt should be 54 inches or a little longer will work. This is with the motor in the far upmost position, and please believe me, this Brazil belt is too tight. I can get it on but it is too tight! Way to tight. These people writing in needs to know this Brazil belt is manufacture or marked wrong! A good source of supply? Can you guys do a QDR on this?
1 Answer James, This type of issue will be a manufacturer issue. As for the belt being too tight. It is supposed to be tight. When installing the belt you should have to put it on the motor pulley and then start it around the tub pulley, in which it will go about 1/2 way on. Then you have to hold the belt and turn the main pulley to get it the rest of the way on. If you put a longer one on then it will cause the unit to not spin or agitate properly as it will slip when trying to turn. Read More...
James May 12, 2015 for Model Number mmh5500bww Ref the belt problem everyone is writing about, they are right! The 62662770 which says Maytag on the belt and also 1411J 6 MAEL is TOO short (made in Brazil). Also says hutchinson POLYV(registered). I guess is they manufactured a bunch of these belts too short. Please post this, and where should one get the right belt? These people writing in are correct in what they are saying no matter what the belts say on it. Believe me, stuff like this happens. Someone puts in the wrong software an hundreds of wrong size belts come out. And also the motor is adjusted all the way to the stop on unit and that is not the problem. Motor adjustment is ok.
1 Answer Hello James. The belt is very tight and is not to short. You must have the motor bolt loose and start the belt on the motor pulley and roll it onto the large pulley. Again, the belt is extremely tight and this will seem impossible but trust me, it will fit. I personally have installed over 500 of these belts myself and have doubted many of the first few belts I installed. Read More...
Rrs March 18, 2015 for Model Number MAH5500BWW The Maytag washer belt came off. Ordered and replaced belt but the new belt comes off after the pulley makes a couple of rounds. Checking comments on similar issue, it seems that two things could be causing this 1) the drum bearing could have gone bad and causing this and / or 2) the pulley could have worn out. Question is how do I know which is the cause. The drum is a major expense compared to the pulley. Is there a way to confirm whether this is a pulley or drum bearing issue?? Thanks, RRS
1 Answer Hello RRS. Turn the pulley by hand, do the bearings feel bad? Does the inner tub feel loose? Also, do you hear a roaring sound when the unit spins? If so, the bearings are bad in the unit. Read More...
