Harry August 26, 2023 for Model Number WTW7500GW2 Ok, so my machine doesn't make noise on spin, it makes a loud grinding noise during agitation, but only when loaded. I replaced the rotor as the teeth were damaged, which was the noise heard. The teeth on the rotor and shaft were not meshing. Got through 1 load of laundry and halfway through the next, the grinding noise returned, indicating that the teeth were not aligned and the plastic was being torn apart again. Is it the clutch?
1 Answer Harry, based on the information provided, it sounds like either the clutch actuator W10754448 is not operating properly or the clutch W10734521 is hanging up on the gearcase W11393685. If the clutch that is currently on can move freely on the gearcase, the clutch actuator would be the most likely cause of failure. Read More...
John August 09, 2022 for Model Number MHW8200FC0 The rotor screw head snapped off on my Maytag washer. The washer works fine except for a short loud noise a couple times each cycle. Unfortunately the old screw stud is hopelessly stuck in the tub extension threads despite much effort with various drill bits and extractors. Since the machine is 5 years old I am considering using epoxy to bond the tub, rotor and old screw head. Any comments or advice are appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer John, Unfortunately, epoxy will not correct this issue. The option that you would have would be to replace the tub support shaft which can only be gotten by getting the outer tub part number W10901175 Read More...
Ken June 16, 2022 for Model Number mvwb725bwo I have a Maytab Bravos Xl and it is showing UL code. When it cycles to spin, the basket shakes and shuts down the cycle. Rebalancing the load does not help. I contacted a local repair guy and he changed the suspension rods, center bearing and shaft, but i'm still having the UL code and now even more violent when trying to spin. The repair guy now thinks has something to do with the basket, but I'm not convinced. I'm thinking stator and/or rotor position sensor. What do you suggest? Thanks, Ken
1 Answer Hello Ken, The fault code UL is often caused by the Rotor Position Sensor WPW10178988, the harness to the RPS WPW10504822, or the control W10763749. Read More...
Jer February 20, 2022 for Model Number MTW6700TQ0 I replaced the bearings and shaft on my Maytag Bravo washer. During reassembly, I put the motor rotor over the stator and tightened the center bolt until it was tight. I still have some slight movement of the rotor, in and out. Is this normal? I did not notice this when I disassembled the rotor. I see the specialty bolt has space between the retaining clip and the head. Is this so that the rotor can sort of float when spinning at such a high rate of speed? Please advise, Thank You.
1 Answer Jer, the rotor should not have any movement on the drive shaft when secured by the mounting bolt. In regards to why there is spacing on the bolt itself, the manufacturer does not identify why it is designed as such. Read More...
Dennis October 21, 2021 for Model Number WTW8540BW1 I have the bearing kit and tool and am attempting to do the replacement. However, the rotor bolt is severely stuck. Now I am afraid I've stripped the hex head. Any advice for removing this bolt? I think I'm at the point where I need to use a screw extraction bit, which will definitely ruin the bolt. I have not seen anyone else having this problem. Also, it looks like I cannot get the bolt separately.
1 Answer Dennis, if a slightly larger allen key will not allow for the removal of the bolt, an extractor would need to be used. Unfortunately, the bolt is not available separately from the rotor 280146. Read More...
Tracy June 06, 2020 My Whirlpool Cabrio top load washer quit working and gave me the F51 code. I ordered a new rotor motor sensor and put it on. I put everything back together. I marked most items I took off so I would know the alignment. But there was on piece of plastic that I didn’t take off, but it fell off went I had the stater and copper coil off replacing the sensor. I thought i had it back in the right alignment, but apparently I don’t. The washer works fine now, but the faster it spins the louder it makes this roaring noise. It’s so loud you can her in the driveway with the washer running in the laundry room. Suggestions or details on how that plastic piece goes back on? Thanks in advance....
1 Answer Hello Tracy, if the rotor is not contacting the stator then an increasing roar noise in spin is usually an indication of worn/faulty spin bearings. Unknow what plastic part you are describing, hopefully it is not a broken off part. If you have further questions, please contact our Parts Pros at 1-877-477-7278 with the model number and have a picture of the part handy and we can try to identify the part. Read More...
Dan Y May 04, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool WED5800BW0 I am trying to replace the bearings. Underneath, I removed the 1/4 inch bold on the rotor, but I can't get the rotor off. Any Suggestions? I slightly damaged the rotor cover so far. Do you have a replacement for just the cover part? It looks the "rotor" is $244.
1 Answer Dan, The magnets hold a rotor into position. Also, you posted a whirlpool dryer model and a rotor is on a washer. Maybe you can repost with more of a description of what you are needing. Read More...
Brian M February 03, 2020 for Model Number WTW7800XW2 What is the size of the bolt that holds the motor rotor on?
1 Answer Brian, The motor rotor bolt is not a "standard" or SAE bolt. Unfortunately, the rotor bolt is not available as an individual part and you would need to order the 280146 / 280146 Motor Rotor Assembly. Thanks, Read More...
Donna January 24, 2020 for Model Number mvwb980bgo I have replaced the bearings and started to put everything back together am having a horrible time getting the rotor back on fully. The magnets pull it up and I know that it is on the spines correctly but no matter how much I tighten the bolt it is still not flush at the bottom and I can wobble it slightly where it grinds against the stator. It seems very straight forward, what am I missing?
1 Answer Donna, it would be recommended that the splines are inspected for any burs or damage that may be causing the rotor to not seat. It is also recommended that the bolt is inspected for stripped threads. Read More...
Iselin November 22, 2019 for Model Number MVWB725BW0 The machine started making a sound in the wash cycle and in the spin cycle, it will drain the water but is not spinning. I checked the motor and found that the rotor screw was not fixed. I fixed it, but the problem continues. Do you have any suggest for this issue?
1 Answer Iselin, the rotor 280146 and stator WPW10419333 will need to be inspected for any signs of damage. Read More...
