Maytag Lat2600aae Parts

This plate-clutch transfers torque from the washer transmission to the tub so the machine can engage and maintain spin cycles. Replacing a worn plate-clutch helps restore reliable spin performance and reduce slipping or shuddering. What it does:

• Engages the transmission to allow the tub/agitation assembly to spin.
• Helps transfer rotational force for normal spin speeds and load control.
• Commonly replaced when the washer slips out of spin, spins slowly, or shudders during the spin cycle.
• Supports proper clutch engagement to prevent intermittent spin failures.

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet and/or agitator; basic hand tools are usually sufficient.
• Inspect surrounding components (drive belt, transmission, clutch housing) for wear while replacing this part.

This lower plastic collar is a small retainer that keeps mating components aligned and secure within the assembly. Replacing a worn or broken collar restores proper fit, reduces play, and helps prevent rubbing or noise during operation. What it does:

• Maintains spacing and alignment between moving components
• Helps reduce wobble, scraping, or squeaking caused by excess play
• Replaces collars that are cracked, deformed, or missing

• 1 lower plastic collar

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Support the assembly to relieve load before removing the old collar
• Match the original orientation; press/seat the new collar fully and evenly
• After reassembly, check for proper alignment and smooth, quiet operation
