Aaron July 09, 2014 I have a MayTag LSE9904ACE Stackable Washer/Dryer. I hear a noticeable whir sound as it goes about washing clothes. It was quiet the 17 years I owned it. The motor seems to run o.k., it does appear easy to jiggle around in it's assembly with my fingers. Is that normal play for the van belt operation? I ordered belts but now I don't think that's the source of the whirring sound. Does the Transmission slowly revolve in a circle as the machine washes clothes? I can stop it by hand but it seems to me the transmission may not be as smooth running anymore and it is rotating because it could be dried up inside? Or worn ? I see no oil or leaks anywhere...Not much else down there in the wash tub area.
1 Answer Aaron, You will want to check the pump assembly to make sure that there is nothing caught in it. This would be the most likely cause of the noise that you have. Read More...
Randy H. May 12, 2014 for Model Number MAYTAG LAT9557AAE TOP LOAD WASHER When on "normal" cycle the agitator does not turn. Sounds like it wants to turn but it stays in one position. When you turn it to "delicate" cycle the agitator does rotate. Will tearing down the transmission reveal anything or is it possibly something else besides the transmission. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Randy, This will almost certainly be the timer WP22004262 since everything else driving the agitator is the same as used in the delicate cycle. There is a slight possibility of a motor 12002353 winding issue since it is a separate winding for the normal speed. Read More...
Bill January 25, 2014 for Model Number LA482 my washer will spin & drain, but when in the wash cycle it does nothing but humes. I can turn the agutator by hand from underneath and it goes back @ forth. I'm told it's the transmission, so why is the motor not trying to turn the transmission. belts are new.
1 Answer Bill, if you turn the pulley, and the agitator oscillates, the transmission isn't the issue. If the washer will spin and drain, it's not likely the motor or the belts. You do want to check and make sure the motor carriage and rollers are clean and lubricated so the assembly slides back and forth freely. The issue should be in the timer WP206230, theres a faulty contact and its not supplying power to the motor windings to turn the motor in the agitate direction. Read More...
Andy March 24, 2013 for Model Number LAT9704AAE My washer is dripping oil. The oil is a yellowish green color and is dripping from the pulley/clutch mechanism under the washer and sprays all around the sides when the pulley is spinning. When I opened the front panel there was no oil visible in the section where the transmission is under the tub. The oil is only in the bottom area of the washer where the pulley is. Is this a transmission leak of some kind?
1 Answer Hello Andy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the transmission is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Phil February 22, 2013 for Model Number Maytag LSE 9900 ADW Wash cycle runs normally, rinse drains then sticks on rinse spin. Control panel has no effect. The only way to stop it is to slide the door open. The washer can be used but we have to leave the door open when not in use. Eg: If spin is selected, unit will spin but will continue to even after control panel clicks off. If the door is opened, unit will stop then defaults to a wash action if closed again. Motor relay?
1 Answer Hello Phil. Test and see if the relay is sending power to the motor. If so, then you will need to order and replace the relay in the unit. Read More...
Matt G. February 08, 2013 for Model Number lat9806aae Hello, my washer agitates and spins at the same time. It should only be agitating but also spins which causes lots of water to spin over the top. It does not agitate when it is supposed to be spinning though. Is this a transmission problem or a brake problem? Thanks, Matt
1 Answer Hello Matt, When the washer agitates while spinning, there is a brake WP6-2011900 problem. You should also check for any oil under the unit. If the lip seal 207843 at the base of the transmission is leaking, oil will get on the brake, causing it to slip. This produces the complaint you have. Read More...
Ken November 12, 2012 for Model Number LA25CS I have an LA25CS washer that fills up with water and it just spins when instead of agitating. I put my foot against the transmission and it still did not agitate. When the water is out of it I can spin the agitator by hand without any problem. The belts are fine. I am not sure if I have a transmission or brake problem. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Ken, Based on the information it sounds like you have a brake WP6-2011900 issue. The brake is not engaging. This could be caused by a lip seal leak. Check to make sure that you do not have leak. Read More...
Damone November 11, 2012 for Model Number lat9206aae My washing machine leaks water during a heavy load of towels or jeans. Not much, but I know it will only get worse. Which seal would you recommend me changing.
1 Answer Hello Damone, The water is more than likely jumping the tub at the beginning of the spin cycle. I would replace the belts 12112425 and adjust the pump as per the service manual I've included in the attachment. There are also two springs under the motor on the motor mount. Originally the manufacturer put the two springs on the same side of the motor mount. They later decided that one of the two springs need to be moved to the other side so there is a spring on each side of the motor mount. Let us know if we can assist you further. Read More...
Tim August 09, 2012 for Model Number lse7806ace My washer did not agitate. I replaced the transmission and it still does not agitate. What else could be causing this problem? thanks.
1 Answer Tim, Does the washer motor run, in the agitation direction? Does the washer fill with water and drain/spin ? With the belts removed, you should be able to turn the transmission pulley in a clockwise direction, you(or a helper) should be able to see the agitator move back and forth. When you turn the transmission pulley counterclockwise, in less than one(1) revolution, you should feel the brake release and see the transmission and tub start to turn, if everything is installed and adjusted properly. If alls OK, you'll need to start looking at the timer, lid switch and motor, because mechanically evrything would be OK. Thanks Read More...
Paul Van Heyningen July 24, 2012 for Model Number Maytag Washer LA883 / Part AP4373301 Just bought new tranny due to no-agitation on the old one. After install of new tranny I have great agitation, but no spin. Any ideas??
1 Answer Paul, did you replace the tub bearing as well ? If so did you have difficulty installing the outer tub over the transmission sleeve ? Did you overtighten the mounting stem, it only needs to be hand tight then a couple of taps with a hammer to tighten. Check and make sure the tub cover is nor seated too low, and holding the tub in position, there should be a 3/8 to 5/8 inch gap between the two components.Then check and make sure you have the transmission drive pulley installed properly and the drive lug is properly adjusted. We'll send you some information that may help you re check everything. Thanks Read More...
