Steve January 23, 2012 for Model Number PAVT234AWW What's the best way to open the top of the wash machine?
1 Answer Hello Steve. There are two clips under the top panel corners, that will need to be pressed in, with a flat blade, to raise the top of the washer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dave December 05, 2011 for Model Number Maytag PAVT244AWW On the spin cycle the washer seems to be a lot more sensitive to off balance loads than it use to be. I pulled the front panel and inspected the springs and all 6 springs appear to be fine. Will these springs fatique over time and need to be replaced? Or are there other reasons that could explain it being more sensative to the load balance? Thanks for your input. Dave
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to look for white plastic shavings in the bottom of the machine. If there are some, the snubber ring WP21002026 will need to be replaced to balance the machine. Hope this helps. Read More...
David September 28, 2011 for Model Number PAVT244AWW At times the agitator moves slowly and only agitates in one direction with a load but does great with only water, no clothes. The motor spring is in place and the belt does not appear too loose, considering there is no adjustment. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello David. You will need to check and see if the thrust bearing 12002213 is working properly on the unit. If not, and it is slipping, you will need to replace the thrust bearing kit. Hope this helps. Read More...
John June 28, 2011 for Model Number HAV2360AWW Look to me the motor cannot just sit with no tension being applied to the belt, I worked on Cars and fixed things all my life it does not make sense, especially when the loads that were done before for years were fine. Something changed, the motor is feeling free- wheeling no resistance what so ever, move the motor and it sits with no tension. Which spring is broken? Thanks
1 Answer Hello John. The motor only uses one spring and that is the motor spring WP22004376. The motor floats on the plate and changes positions between agitate and spin. If the unit is not spinning, you will want to check the thrust bearing 12002213. You will need to turn this by hand and see if the unit releases the brake assembly and turns the tub properly. If not, you will need to replace the thrust bearing kit. If it works properly, make sure the motor spring is hooked to the motor and the plate, and the motor is moving freely and properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Mitch. There is no adjustment for the drive belt tension. Make sure the motor is moving freely on the floater plate. If needed, you can add grease to the floater plate for the motor to slide on. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Rudy. The motor spring attaches to the motor and the floater plate. There is a slot on the motor for one end of it, and a hole in the plate for the other end. Hope this helps. Read More...
