Dave January 03, 2017 for Model Number LAT2500AAE Follow up to previous question this date. How can I tell if the tub bearing is bad? I have the inner tub out and the outer tub out, with transmission pulled. Tub mounting stem was in pretty bad shape. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Dave. It would have made a roaring sound and the bearing will drag if you turn it with your finger. Best to replace it if the mounting stem is bad. Read More...
Dave January 03, 2017 for Model Number LAT2500AAE My washer spins fine without any problems/sounds. It will not agitate - makes loud noise and belts heatup/smell. Grasping the tub pulley can turn tub one way but not the other without significant effort. Is it the transmission or the brake or both?
A C December 04, 2016 for Model Number LAT9616AAE During the spin cycle, the washer appears to be horribly out of balance -- the tub wobbles a lot, and the washer walks. I've leveled the unit multiple times; it is perfectly level in both directions, but this doesn't seem to help. The imbalance occurs even on a purely empty tub. I've taken out the tub top cover/gasket to look between the inner and outer tubs, but didn't find anything weird. Also took out the agitator and inspected it; the wobble occurs even if the agitator is not installed. Is there something wrong with the transmission? Whatever is the problem, it doesn't seem to be obvious. Any help is appreciated!
1 Answer Hello AC. It sounds like the damper pads 203956 are bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Buck November 01, 2016 for Model Number LAT9356AAE My Maytag washer tub locks up when going into the spin mode. Motor runs fine but burns the belts when in spin. I removed the top to see if anything was lodged between the tub an outer drum housing but didn't see anything. What do you recommend for my next step to check? Do you have a video on how to remove the tub should I have to do that?
1 Answer Buck, You will want to check the lug on the pulley to make sure that it is moving freely but it sounds like the brake may be faulty and not releasing. The part number for the brake is WP6-2011900. Read More...
Cordell April 24, 2016 for Model Number LAT2500AAE My washer is making a loud clanking sound in the washing mode do you think it is the transmission?
1 Answer Cordell, You will want to remove the inner tub and check the mounting stem and seal kit to make sure that the mounting stem is not damaged. If this checks ok then the most likely issue will be the transmission. Read More...
Bill F. March 29, 2016 for Model Number A8640 Maytag Washer Still working, but making a clanking sound during spin cycle. I suppose it's the transmission, but only a guess. What is your opinion, and should a novice try to fix this? Please advise, and many thanks. Bill
1 Answer Bill, It's not the transmission, In the spin cycle the transmission gears are "locked up" and don't move. Best guess at this point would be a worn out tub bearing/seal assembly and or a loose tub mounting clamp nut. The spin basket is tapping the outer tub and making the noise. There is also a possibility, that the brake rotor could be slipping and "chattering". Both repairs are "doable" for a "novice" with some basic skills, knowledge and tools. Read More...
Craig May 06, 2015 for Model Number lat8705aam Maytag Washer Hello the our lat8705aam Maytag washer makes a loud humming noise during wash cycle and will not agitate. If I turn the dial to spin the washer will spin and will also drain. Doesn't sound like the belts. Hum sounds like the motor but if motor is not working wouldn't it the washer not spin or drain? Thanks for your help Craig
1 Answer Craig, This issue would be caused by a contact that is sticking in the timer. The timer would need to be replaced. Read More...
Victor November 04, 2014 for Model Number LAV3600AWW My Maytag washer will not agitate. It fills, drains, spins fine. When it comes to the agitate part of the cycle, it makes a low humming noise. After a while, a squealing noise starts, and I can smell burning rubber. The noise is just like a loose belt in a car. The loss of agitation was also progressive, from a 'weak' wash, to very minimal movement of the agitator, to complete failure to move, along with the other symptoms. I checked the belts and they are fine, and there is no oil or liquid leaking. With the belt off, the large central pulley underneath is hard to turn counter-clockwise, and moderately hard to turn clockwise. There is no grinding, rumbling, or clinking noises. I think that the transmission has become clogged or the grease has become sticky, or something has wound itself around the parts somewhere. I am thinking of re-greasing the transmission if I can pull it apart without breaking anything. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Am I wasting my time trying to fix it without replacing the transmission? Am I off the track completely? The total cost of the transmission assembly is prohibitive for me as the machines are not common where I am from, and I can buy a working machine with warranty for the same price as acquiring the transmission. I would rather keep this machine as it is in absolute mint condition. Any help is appreciated.
1 Answer Victor, The transmission can be reworked by removing it from the unit and take the bolts out of the side. It may be more proactive to replace the transmission than to try to rework it. Read More...
Grandpa H July 31, 2014 for Model Number LAT9416AAE My washer has water coming out from underneath it as it is washing. I took front panel off and put it in motion and water was spinning off at the transmission like the cover part, so not sure where the water is coming from. Maybe from where the tub connects to the transmission. I did check the hoses and they seemed fine. Where do you think the water may be coming from? Grandpa h
1 Answer Hello. You need to replace 6-2040130 and 6-2095720 is the unit is leaking above the transmission. Read More...
Rick July 23, 2014 for Model Number Maytag A9700 Machine fills, agitates, goes thru all the cycles but does not spin during spin cycle....it does make some screeching sounds then however. When this occurs pump functions just fine empties well. Motor and belts are good, belt tension is correct. Why no spin?
1 Answer Hello Rick, If the brake lug is adjusted properly, the problem is most likely the spin bearing and tub seal 6-2040130, 6-2095720 if no articles of clothing have gotten between the tubs. Read More...
