Mike February 10, 2023 for Model Number PAV2300AWW Was shaking on spin cycle, replaced snubber ring and springs twice. Cleaned bearing area on base and on ring mounting surface.. still shakes. When I push the drum assembly off center it does not return. Is this normal? It does center when spinning starts. Leveled the machine and still shakes. Removed basket and checked, just a little vibration during spin. Inspected and installed basket, shakes again, basket seemed fine no cracks or missing plastic. Can wiggle the shaft slightly and more so with the drum installed. About a tenth of an inch of movement. Back foot mechanism seems to work right. Feet drop when I lift the rear and both seem to contact the ground but fall all the way to where the base is very nearly to the floor. All the feet are missing the rubber covers. But it seems that some are not available. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Mike, the snubber is working correctly, based on the symptom and the checks you have done this may be a warped basket problem. These plastic baskets can sometimes deform over time and use causing shaking in the spin cycle, worse with a clothes load. You can check this by having the washer in spin cycle with the top up and the top outer tub cover removed, at the beginning of spin carefully watch if the basket is wobbling around inside the outer tub instead of spinning true, if you find this is the case then unfortunately the basket is no longer available from the manufacturer.

Krystal February 09, 2023 for Model Number MAV8057AWQ In the video is says to replace the bolts with longer 10/24 thread bolts while replacing the snubber ring, but does not tell you how long they need to be. Can you tell me how long they need to be?
1 Answer Krystal, the 10/24 screws that are being used to help keep the spring in place when loosening the mounting screws would need to be about 1" long. Read More...
Les January 16, 2020 for Model Number MAV208DAWW Hi. My washing machine will not agitate. Not wash.Spin cycle spinning at slow speed try to go high speed and click making screeching,grinding noise little slows down and speed up again, slows down and speed up keep continued until finished the cycle. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Les, if the motor is not running in wash cycle for agitation after the water fill, replace the timer part WP21002232, if the motor is running but no agitation replace the transmission 35-6615. For the spin cycle problem replace the thrust bearing kit 12002213 and drive belt WP21352320. Read More...
Keira July 01, 2019 How do I know if its the snubber ring or a bearing that needs replace? The spin cycle starts fine but then the machine starts to shake and move
1 Answer Hello Keira, likely it is just the snubber ring is worn and needs replacing. However, also check if any oil has leaked out of the transmission and gotten onto the ring. It has to operate dry, any lubricant getting on it will cause excessive tub shaking in the spin cycle. Read More...
David November 19, 2017 i replaced a snubber ring and springs for maytag performa top loader it was shaking terribly and thanks to you it is working fine. Now during the agitating cycle the drum does not turn as it used to and the clothing does not mix properly
1 Answer David, During the agitation the tub will remain in one position and if the agitator is not turning properly then this will be a issue with the agitator itself. Read More...
Michael August 11, 2017 for Model Number MAV408DAWW During the agitation cycle only sometimes the machine make a loud rubbing/squeaking noise. The machine even moves sometimes. Help, the noise is driving us crazy. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to replace WP35-6714, WP35-6714, and WP35-6918 on the unit. These 3 parts will cause the issue your having during the agitation cycle. Read More...
Eric August 06, 2017 for Model Number Mattag Bravos X top loading 7401mbw Only during certain stages of washing, I believe the stage where the machine is really shaking back and forth to clean clothes the machine makes a loud screeching noise, not a bad bearing squeal or a needs oil squeak, but it is loud. What would be the cause of this?
1 Answer Hello Eric. Check and see if the suspension rods are bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Glp November 07, 2016 for Model Number CAV4000AWA During spin cycle washer is more noisy and vibrates more than usual, plus there are the plastic shavings underneath. Going to replace the snubber ring and springs per the video. Question: Do I need to disconnect the water hoses from the washer before doing the repair or can I just turn the water faucet handles to the off position and keep the hoses connected? Hoses are long enough to leave connected while doing the repair but wasn't sure if water would flow out somewhere if left connected.
1 Answer Hello GLP. There is no need to disconnect them if you do not have the lay the unit down. Just turn off the water. Read More...

Tom September 28, 2016 for Model Number mav6oooaww Loud knocking during spin cycle. could it be the snubber ring?
1 Answer Tom, The snubber ring could cause the unit to get off balance but would be more likely a spring that is causing the noise. Also check the drain pump to ensure that the pump is moving freely. Read More...
