Claude T July 16, 2012 for Model Number LAT8600ABW My motor open to thermal protection. The new motor rate to 7.4 amps. The new motor installed the amps is 7,4 to 8,5. The firt test with water only in cuve. The transmission is to hard for motor?. Where is the normal amps for motor. thanks?
1 Answer Claude, Sounds like your washer is running fine. Here are the amperages you need to look for : agitation at regular speed with full tub of water 6.0 to 7.0 amps. Spin, regular with water in tub 6.5 to 7.5 amps. Spin regular speed water out of tub, full spin speed 6.0 to 7.0 amps. This is the ratings under ideal situation 9 120 VAC) under a load, If your voltage is lower than that, your amperage will increase. Thanks Read More...
Tapped Out July 15, 2012 for Model Number LAT9400AAE M#LAT9400AAE MY QUESTION IS... MY WASHER SPINS BUT DOES NOT AGITATE.CHANGED DRIVE BELT AND SAME THING.REMOVED THE AGITATOR AND CHECKED FOR SOMETHING STUCK UNDER IT AND WELL....I DON'T WIN THE LOTTERY EITHER!LOCAL REPAIR COMPANY SAID THE REPAIRS ARE AROUND $500 - $600.THIS UNIT IS AROUND 18 YRS OLD.I CAN GET PARTS FROM YOU FOR ALOT LESS.MY QUESTION IS COMPLETE TRANS REPLACEMENT OR REBUILD IT AND TOP BEARING? I AM MECHANICLY INCLINDED BUT NOT RICH !!!!
1 Answer Tapped Out, If you need the upper shaft bearing, you would need to order the transmission casing, which will Substitue to a transmission kit 6-2097750 at which point you'd need a tub bearing kit 6-2040130 and spanner wrench TB123B . We're sending you some additional information, so you can determine the actual issue and basic how to information. Read More...
Jay June 11, 2012 for Model Number Maytag LAT9416aae Hello. My washer was leaking at the tub bearing (could see water coming out under the outer tub when filling with the front panel off). I've replaced the tub bearing (part AP4372971) and tub seal (part AP253016). I've meticulously checked my work 4 times. Now the washer doesn't leak when fills UNTIL the water level gets about 6" high. It appears that the lower seal/bearing are water tight, but when the water gets above the collar where it hits the transmission shaft, it leaks. Do I need to inspect (potentially replace) the rubber seal on the transmission shaft (part AP4026596)? How can I find that seal? Is there something else I should check? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jay. Check and make sure you hooked the pressure hose back up on the side of the outer tub assembly. If not, it will cause the unit to leak like you are describing. If the leak is coming from the transmission, you will need to replace the transmission 6-2097750 in the unit. Read More...
Ken April 01, 2012 for Model Number LA25CS I have a commercial washer LA25CS. When it fills up with water and startes to agitate it sounds like something is stripped on the agitator shaft.The agitator moves but very slowly I removed the agitator and the shaft looked ok, I remounted the agitator on the ahaft and it does the same thing. I advanced the timer to the spin cycle and the washer spins fine. Do I need to replace the transmission? Thank you for your time
1 Answer Hello Ken. Yes, if the splines of the agitator are good, and the shaft is good, then it sounds like the transmission 6-2097750 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Norma H. March 29, 2012 for Model Number LSE1000 maytag I purchased the damper and pads from you for my maytag stackable washer and dryer that was purchased in 1986 lse1000. My grandson is trying to replace the parts. He said because the machine is spring loaded he is not sure about how to get to the part. Do you have any imformation on this that would help him replace the part? The damper pads he can easily replace but not sure about the damper. The washer works great but it shakes real bad in the spin cycle.
1 Answer Hello Norma, I attempted to send you an e-mail containing the service manual for your unit but it was sent back and was labeled "permanently undeliverable". If you have another e-mail address, I can resend it. It contains step by step instructions on how to troubleshoot and repair the washer and dryer and I believe it will be invaluable to you.

Ron February 16, 2012 for Model Number A506 Washer does not agitate, burning rubber smell. Does spin to evacuate water from tub. Do I have to replace the Trans Dee?
1 Answer Ron, Most likely, yes. You you conduct the manual test, first. Slide the washer out, raise and block up the front of the washer, remove the drive belts. Grasp the drive pulley on the transmission and turn it in a counterclockwise direction, The Tub should start to spin in 1/2 to 3/4 of a revolution of the pulley. Turn the pulley in a clockwise direction, and the pulley should be relatively easy to turn and your assistant, should see the agitator oscilate. If the the pulley is hard to turn or cannot be turned, That would indicate a gear case issue or top agitator shaft bearing issue. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
William January 12, 2012 for Model Number LSE1000 Bought the maytag combo washer and dryer in 1986. Never had any repairs on washer or dryer. Both are still working great. Recently washer vibrates bad when in spin cycle. Any suggestions on what the problem would be? I don't want to spend money on new washer and dryer when these are still working great. Are parts still availabe for this machine? Need to replace hoses because the hoses have never been replaced.
1 Answer Hello William. Based on the information you provided, you will need to check and see if the damper pads 203956 are worn or bad. If so, replace the pads. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=27848&diagram_id=28452905 Read More...
Bill October 18, 2011 for Model Number lat9334aae My washing machine doesn't agitate.I've changed the belts,turned the pulley in one dirction and the tub spinned,turned the pulley in the opposite direction and the agitator turned.Is there anything else I can try? Thanks
1 Answer Bill, Does the motor run in the agitate mode ? does the motor move back and forth on the motor carriage assembly with the belts off ? Based on your post, everything is mechanically, fine in the transmission. I've never seen a Maytag agitator strip out on the agitator shaft, but you may want to check there. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Rkmcprez August 17, 2011 for Model Number LAT2500AAE Hello, I'm replacing a tub liner collar, Liner - Tub Part Number: AP4024726 on a Maytag LAT2500AEE. Does this part require grease when assembling? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Rkmcprez. Yes, a light coat of grease should be applied to the tub liner 211130. Hope this helps. Read More...
Lyle August 11, 2011 for Model Number Maytag LAT2500 I have a Maytag LAT 2500 that does not spin and the belts slip/burn. How do you check the brake assembly. If I turn in one direction, the agitator turns. If I turn the pulley the opposite direction, it will turn approximately 1/2 to 3/4 turn get stuck, then spring back when you let go of the pulley. Also, does this condition seem to be the brake assembly or the tub bearing? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Lyle. Remove the brake from the machine and see if the tub is locked up. If so, you have a bad tub bearing. If not, you may have a bad brake assembly WP6-2011900. Hope this helps. Read More...
