Joe February 01, 2024 for Model Number MTW5840TW0 just ordered a new gear case top cover shaft seal because mine was leaking badly. My question is what weight gear oil to put back in after my seal arrives? Thank You Joe
Fixitrts December 21, 2016 for Model Number 110.29822800 Just asked about if shaft seal was correct one. Is this one... WP3349985 The one that is up inside where the shaft fits through hole and how do I get to it...through flywheel if I'm identifying this right
1 Answer Hello Fixitrts. You will need to remove the transmission from the unit and take it apart to replace the seal in the unit. Read More...
Fixitrts December 21, 2016 for Model Number 110.29822800 Replaced outer tub seal due to leak...still leaks. Clutch wobbly so kit on the way but with shell off see dropping from under clutch. It was suggested to replace shaft seal and I'm stuck getting flywheel off cause can't find video help. Trying to get up inside where the shaft of 12 inches goes up. Is there a seal inside...I have part wp8577374 and 8577376 on the way so hoping one of them is proper upper shaft seal. Only one actually called that did not fit the compatibility chart...help appreciated
1 Answer Fixitrts, there are two upper seals, W11095997 / 357409 which is the lower seal in the upper portion of the tub support and bearing assembly, and encircles the basket drive shaft. The WP8577376 / 8577376 is the upper most seal and encircles the agitator shaft and is also seated inside the tub support assembly. But, if you have water leaking down the agitator shaft and onto the clutch assembly, you'll need to check to make sure the washer isn't overfilling, or the detergent being used is the proper type and amount and not sudsing. You also want to check and make sure the new tub seal is seated into the tub opening properly and seals around the tub support shaft. Read More...

Don H April 24, 2014 for Model Number 11029812 I would like to replace the shaft seal on the transmission. Which way do you turn the seal (lip inside or outside) and how do you drive the seal in. I have purchased the seal. Thanks Don
1 Answer Don, The lip will go down and over the shaft where the flat part will face up. It should just push into place and if not then you could tap with a rubber mallet to get on. Read More...
Shadetree May 29, 2013 for Model Number 110.82984120 I have gear oil underneath the washer. it seems to be slung out at the top ,close to the clutch housing. Also oil has been slung around the cabinet. Any help would greatly appreciated. I have lost anywhere from 4 - 5 tablespoons of oil -
1 Answer Hello shadetree. If the unit is losing oil, you will need to replace the transmission 3360629 in the unit. Read More...
Bud April 02, 2013 for Model Number mvwc400vw1 centennial washer with low hours 5 years old. I asked the previous question on this about the tranny oil leaking into the clothes. (yesterday) Is there a chance that the control switch could have caused this? The clothes were spun dry but there was no water in the tub. The agitator was moving a little but the basket was not spinning at the time. Every time the agitator would move just a little, the machine would go 'thunk'. Then the agitator would move back and the process would repeat all over again. It stopped when I pushed the knob in, but no matter where I set the dial, it would still just go thunk, thunk, thunk when I pulled the knob back out. So I just pushed the knob back in until the timer quit ticking, and the machine worked fine for about a week until It started leaking black grease from under the agitator. My A107 Maytag is still running fine after 40 years of use. How can this transmission be so sorry that it fails after 5 years?
1 Answer Bud, The control switch would not cause grease to show up on clothing. The gear case would be the part that you would need with the unit clunking and putting grease on the clothing. Read More...
Bud March 30, 2013 for Model Number mvwc400vw1 centennial with low hours & easy use. 5 yrs old. I bought a new maytag centennial 5 years ago. it has had light use with no problems until a couple weeks ago i washed a light load and they had spun dry as usual, but machine was going thunk, thunk, thunk, and not spinning. No matter wher I put the dial, it did the same thing. So I let the timer run out. Then the machine worked as normal. Until the next week, when I got black grease on my clothes from under the agitator. Do I need to replace the agitator seal, or the top case shaft seal? I am an ex auto/motorcycle mechanic. How do I remove the transmission? I have seen the great video you have on removing the tub.
1 Answer Hello Bud. Sounds like the gearbox needs to be replaced. Here is a link to watch a video on replacement. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-neutral-drain-transmission-3360629-ap3096209.html Read More...
Coco February 05, 2013 for Model Number 110.26732500 I need to know what I need to repair a washer that wont spin, I know it looks like a big rubber band and it was all the way at the bottom of the washer, broke off.
1 Answer Hello Coco. You need to check and see if the motor coupling 285753A is bad and needs to be replaced. As for the band, that is the sound damping ring and would not affect the spin cycle. Read More...
