Magic Chef Washer CAV4000AWW Pumps but will not spin

The Thrust Bearing Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit is essential for the proper operation of the washer's transmission system, allowing the drive system to engage smoothly and efficiently. 

Over time, components within the thrust bearing kit can wear down or become damaged due to the constant stress and movement they endure during the wash cycle. This wear can lead to issues with the washing machine's ability to agitate or spin correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Thrust Bearing Kit include:

• The washing machine is noisy during operation
• The washer struggles to agitate or spin
• The washing machine may fail to spin at all, leaving clothes wet at the end of the cycle
• Excessive vibration during use

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Washer Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is crucial for transmitting the power from the motor to the drum, enabling the washing machine to tumble and spin during the wash and spin cycles. The drive belt wraps around the motor and drum pulleys, providing the necessary traction and tension to operate efficiently.

Causes of a bad Washer Drive Belt can include stretching over time, which reduces its efficiency to grip the pulleys properly, or fraying and cracking due to age and normal wear and tear. Misalignment or improper installation can also lead to premature belt failure.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Drive Belt include:

• The washing machine failing to spin or agitate.
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation, indicating slippage or rubbing.
• Visible signs of wear like cracks, fraying, or noticeable looseness on the belt.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is responsible for efficiently removing water from the washer's tub during the drain cycle. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the washing machine operates smoothly by pumping out dirty water, thereby preparing the machine for the rinse and spin cycles.

Over time, drain pumps can become clogged or fail due to debris build-up, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical malfunctions. When the drain pump is compromised, it can lead to water drainage issues, affecting the overall performance of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad drain pump assembly include:

• Water not draining from the washer
• Unusual noises such as grinding or humming during the drain cycle
• The washer stopping mid-cycle or displaying error codes related to drainage
• Visible leaks from the pump area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Snubber Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part dampens the vibration and noise produced during the washer's spin cycle. Positioned at the base of the tub, the snubber ring provides a cushion that absorbs the impact between the moving parts and the stationary frame of the washer. 

Over time, wear or dust on the snubber ring can reduce its effectiveness, causing increased vibration, noise, and stress on the washing machine components, possibly leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a bad Snubber Ring include:

• Unusual noise during the spin cycle
• The washing machine vibrating more than usual or "walking" across the floor
• Increased wear and tear on other components due to excessive vibration

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Motor Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool top-loading washing machines. This spring applies proper tension to the agitator assembly during wash cycles.

Causes of a bad motor spring can include damage from unintended impacts or fatigue after extended use. Over time, constant movement may cause the spring to weaken.

Symptoms of a bad motor spring include:

• Inadequate cleaning as clothes don't tumble vigorously  
• Excessive noise or vibration from the off-balance agitator 
• Stalling or failure of the agitator to rotate fully

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Estate, and Roper top-load washer models as well. 

Metal housing cover for brake.

This retaining ring secures a component on a shaft or within a groove so it stays aligned during operation. Replacing a bent, rusted, or missing ring helps stop wobble, noise, and parts working loose.

• Locks into a groove to keep gears, pulleys, wheels, or spacers from sliding off a shaft
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of moving parts
• Common signs of failure: wobbling parts, scraping/rubbing noises, or components that work loose
• Visual clues: deformation, corrosion, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and any utilities to the appliance before service
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Note the order/orientation of any washers or spacers before removal
• Use appropriate snap-ring or needle-nose pliers and ensure the ring seats fully in its groove
