William May 14, 2013 for Model Number Maytag Atlantis Model #MAV7600AWW Washing machine started making a squealing noise when running. I checked the belt and it looked fine, I also removed the belt and ran the motor and it was running quiet. I spun the pulley on the pump but could not feel any grinding or resistance. Could the bearing in the pump be going out?
1 Answer William, Yes the bearing on the pump could be going out which is most likely the cause of the squealing noise. Read More...
Lee May 13, 2013 for Model Number MAV8757AWQ The washer still has water in the bottom of the tub after the rinse/spin cycle; yet the washer will pump out the water after the washing cycle. Are there two pumps or is the pump just not fully functioning during the rinse/spin cycle?
1 Answer Lee, Based on this information the pump would not be working properly. You will want to check the pump to make sure that there are no clogs. Also pull the belt off the pump and see if it turns freely with no resistance. If there is resistance then the pump is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Steve May 07, 2013 for Model Number pva2300aww Took out our water pump because machine was making grinding noise...no blockage, but when we turn the wheel it feels like it is grinding more than turning smoothly...is that normal?

P.B. April 10, 2013 for Model Number maytag pav3240aww On first spin cycle after wash cycle I noticed water on floor. Could belt be slipping and tub not draining all the way and over flowing with water on rinse cycle? It does this once and awhile. Noticed that spin cycle takes long time to get to full speed.
1 Answer P. B., You will want to check your drain for obstructions in the drain line and in the pump. It is possible that the bearings on the pump may be going bad and causing slower drain. If the drain is clogged then it will also cause slow drain. Read More...

Bob B. March 06, 2013 for Model Number MAV2755AWW Drum will not drain completely. The hoses are clear and the pump turns freely. I run extra spin cycles, but still wet clothes. The belt is good. I can see water recirculating in the pump during spin, but after a bit, nothing comes out of the drain. My wet vac can easily empty from the wall drain hose. Ideas?
1 Answer Hello Bob, It sounds like there is either something wrapped around the pump impeller, preventing the vanes from being able to push the water or something has gotten into the pump at some point and worn against the impeller, wearing the impellers down so it cannot efficiently push the water out. Either way, the fix is a new pump assembly WP35-6780. Read More...
Rob March 06, 2013 for Model Number mav408daww I was investigating a smell inside the washer and noticed a white dust formed around the bottom of the brackets that hold the bowl up. I'm not sure if it is part of the thrust washer package that is starting to wear or not. What do you think?
1 Answer Hello Rob. That is from the snubber. As long as there is no balance issue, it is fine. If it gets off balance, replace the snubber. Read More...
Phillip February 26, 2013 for Model Number CAV2000AWW Machine make noise in wash cycle, then it locks up and just hums when place in spin cycle. When I remove the belt and run the machine motor works fine. check pump not obstruction found, but turned pump manually it sound like bearing are bad. could the pump be causing the washer to lockup?
1 Answer Hello Phillip, The pump WP35-6780 would be the most likely cause of unit locking up. You would want to replace the pump if it feels like it is tight to turn. The pump should turn freely with no resistance. Read More...
James February 19, 2013 for Model Number pav3240aww My washer still works but it makes a loud grinding sound. I think it's the drain pump. Is that common?
1 Answer Hello James, The drain pump WP35-6780 is a common failure, but its' failure is normally caused by foreign objects in the wash, (pockets not emptied, etc.). Read More...
Mac February 14, 2013 I replaced the washer drain pump assembly (MFG part # 35-7680) on my Maytag washer. The installation of the pump went smoothly and before I sealed everything back up I checked to make sure all hoses and screws were connected correctly and tight. When I ran my first two loads of laundry, my washer was shaking so violently that I had to sit on it to stop it from shaking. It happens in the rinse and spin cycles only. I check with a level and confirmed my machine and the ground where is stands are both level and the loads in the washer were not unbalanced. I didn't pull it all apart yet but even if I did I am not sure I would know what to look for anyways. My washer has the pump at the back right corner and motor is on the front same side. I noted the motor did not appear to be secured down enough as it moved slightly. However, when I check fo any lose screws I didn't see any and it appears to be this way by design. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Mac. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the snubber will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
