Brenda May 07, 2012 for Model Number MVWB450WQ1 My Maytag washer is a Bravo 300 series, MVWB450WQ1. When I turn it on. it just hums. I have checked water hoses. It was flashing LD.
1 Answer Hello Brenda. Turn the tub assembly by hand and see if it turns freely. If so, based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the stator WPW10419333 on the unit and the wiring harness WPW10137697. Read More...
Tracy April 28, 2012 for Model Number WTW6700TW1 My washer sounds like an airplane trying to take off could this be the rotor or something else. Its loud all the time but gets worse during spin cycle. The repair guy said the transmission is going bad but this model doesnt have one any ideas?
1 Answer Tracy, You're correct, your washer does not have a transmission, but your does have a tub bearing and shaft assembly. We'll send you some service information so you can remove the agitator and tub to check and make sure theres no issues with the "drive hub" or W10820039 or agitator, and can access the shaft and bearing to check. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Ken March 03, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool wtw7340wx0 Did you ever find a sock that had gone over the top and wound up in the bottom of the washer? It caused the intake of the drain pump to become clogged and prevented the machine from operating. I had to drain the tank and remove the pump before I found it. I reassembled it and it is working again. Is there a way to prevent this from happening again in the future?
1 Answer Ken, the only way to prevent small items from getting into the drain pump is to purchase a laundry bag W10180464RP and place all small items in the bag when washing. Thanks! Read More...

Gary January 15, 2012 for Model Number WTW6200SW1 when im washing the machine works normally untill the machine reaches its spin cycle, towards the end of the spin cycle, the machine stops and gives code F54. Im thinking i have a bad stator cause it fails after the spin cycle is almost done., is it common for the stator to go bad? or is it more common for the rotor to go bad?. I dont think i have a wiring issue do to the fact that the machine works normally until it gets hot from the spin cycle. the basket turns freely.
1 Answer Gary, Does the washer make any strange noises before the code appears, you may have a tub bearing issue? also check and insure there are no small articles stuck between the tubs, and that you maintain at least 108 VAC at the outlet when the motor starts and runs. If all's OK, you'll need to lay the washer on it's back and check the rotor 280146and shield W10183157 for cracks, breaks,warpage and loose wiring connections. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
David December 16, 2011 for Model Number mtw6600tq0 What visual checks do I need to check to determine if replacement of the stater or rotor or both is needed?
1 Answer Hello David. Check the magnets and see if any of them are cracked or broke. If so, you will need to replace the rotor 280146. If they are good, then the stator WPW10419333 may be the issue. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kevin Snider October 26, 2011 for Model Number wtw6600sw2 f-54 code replaced the rps sensor and harness.the stator has 31 ohms between the 3 pins is this to high
1 Answer Kevin, The motor/stator resistance is "on the money" at 31 O's. We pretty much have it down to a "drag" on the tub or a bad control board WPW10189966 . Check for articles stuck between or under the tubs and wash plate/ impeller, first." 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Raise the cabinet top 3. To remove the basket: a) Loosen the clamp and pull the recirculation hose off the tub ring. b) Pry out and unsnap the tub ring tabs from the tub and remove the tub ring. c) Insert the blade of a small screwdriver into the slot in the impeller cap, then pry the cap up, and remove it. d) Remove the 7/16? hex-head bolt from the impeller, then lift and remove the impeller from the basket. NOTE: Lifting the basket will assist in removing the impeller. e) Lift the basket out of the washer." check and clean any debris etc from the tub and check the drive shaft and seal for excess wear. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
