Gus August 24, 2011 for Model Number 214943VT Maytag top load The washer hasn't been used for several years. I want to try to fix it for a back up. Yesterday it went through the delicate cycle and worked fine. When I started to wash a wash & wear load it would spin but water didn't go out. I am thinking the belt or belts maybe sliping. I haven't had a chance to check the belts yet. The washer is about 20 years old, but has only been used for about 8 yrs. I am limited for the size of washer so I would like to try to fix it. Do you think it would be advisable. Do you think it sounds like a belt or belts? Thanks Gus
1 Answer Hello Gus. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the belt need to be replaced, if the unit was not used for a long period of time. The model number you provided does not work. We will need a correct model number to help more with this. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Gerry August 16, 2011 for Model Number LAT9206BAE Once the spin cycle picks up momentum tub goes out of balance. Could it be belts as machine is 11 years old and they are original. They seem fairly loose,when squeezed in middle the two sides touch. When rubbed, the belts give off black smudge to fingers. Took front panel off, everything underneath seems clean, no obvious signs of issues.
1 Answer Hi Gerry. Remove all power. You can slide adjust the pump 5/16" bolts so when you squeeze test the belts, you have at least 3/8"-1/2" of gap with the motor fully pressed out with tension. If the belts are throwing off the debris's then it is a very good time / sign of replacing. The belts are part # 12112425. Check and clean with alcohol the floor and foot pads where they grip the floor. The pad part # is WP210684. Level the legs and lock the upper leg nuts locked up tight up against the base. Then release the top spring clips and lift the top. Unclip the top tub cover and see if there is any small clothes bunched up in between the inner/outer tub ( use a flashlight). They will get there with an overloaded situation, stopping the tub. Let Us know as if we can help you further. Thank you. Read More...
Joe July 31, 2011 for Model Number LAT9356AAE Not washing my clothes to it's potential. Agitator barely moves. Am able to stop the agitation with my hands. Could be drive belt, but want to be sure it's not something else. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Joe. Check and see if the belts are bad on the unit, and also the motor moves freely on the plate and there is 2 spring on the motor. If so, you will need to replace the belts 12112425. Hope this helps. Read More...

Kenneth July 13, 2011 for Model Number M-A490 The washer just stopped spining? is it a belt, and if it is which one ? thank you
1 Answer Kenneth, Yes it could be a belt, Usually if the belt broke, you'll find it laying on the floor under the washer. Don't know the service history of your washer, but at this point, I would reccomend you repalce them both 12112425 12112425, and check, clean and lube the motor carriage rollers. Good Luck Read More...
Lillie July 05, 2011 for Model Number LAT9356AAE Won't spin water out. I opened the lid and Washer was full of smoke.
1 Answer Hi Lillie. Your question is loaded with possible failures. You have to diagnose which part failed? This failure will cause belts to burn when the motor cannot turn as it is called to. Is there something in between the inner and outer tub (clothing), stopping the inner basket to stop? Is there something caught in the pump, stopping the belts? Is the machine clutch/ brake system locked up? Is the motor bearings locked up? Any one of these problems causes the complaint described. The belt part # is 12112425.The pump part # is WP6-2022030. The motor part # is 12002353.The brake part # is WP6-2011900. Thank you . Hope this helps. [ Read More...
Judi July 02, 2011 for Model Number A482 My Maytag is not spinning out the water from the clothes like it use to.
1 Answer Hello Judi. You will want to check and make sure the belts 12112425 are in good shape and not worn. If so, check and make sure the tub bearing is not bad. If you hear a roaring sound during the spin cycle, the tub bearing 6-2040130 6-2095720 is bad and will need to be replaced. You will need to replace both kits if the bearing is bad. Hope this helps.

Craig June 04, 2011 for Model Number la412 Same problem as tom, spin cycle barely releases water. Is it just a belt?
1 Answer Hello Craig. You will want to remove the belts and try to manually turn the pulley. When you turn it one way, it should turn the tub with it along with a little friction when your turning it. Turn it the other way and it should turn the agitator with almost no resistance. If you have resistance when turning it while it turns the agitator you will have to replace the transmission. If everything turns fine, look at part AP4023752, to make sure it's centered on the base and the motor moves freely. Hope this helps! Read More...
Tom May 31, 2011 for Model Number Not sure Water remains after the spin cycle. Several manually set spin cycles later pumps the remaining water out. Could it just be a worn belt? Pump and motor are turning.
