Maytag Mle 2000 Ayw Parts

A short self-tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and trim so components stay secure and aligned. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores proper fit and reduces rattling or loose parts. What it does

• Fastens panels, trim, and small assemblies to the appliance frame
• Keeps control panels, access panels, and bezels securely mounted
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing fasteners that cause vibration or rattling
• Helps maintain proper alignment of removable panels and covers

• One short self-tapping screw

• Disconnect power before working on the appliance to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct screwdriver and hold parts in place while installing to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten — stop when the panel is snug to prevent stripping or cracking
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure proper fit and function

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and trim so components stay properly aligned and vibration is reduced. Use it to replace missing or damaged fasteners and restore a secure fit for safe operation. What it does:

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or access panels to the appliance frame
• Prevents panel movement, rattling, or gaps that can form from loose or missing screws
• Restores proper alignment after service or part replacement
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation by keeping panels secured

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Use the correct driver bit and thread engagement; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten — snug until secure to avoid stripping or damaging panel threads
• Keep removed hardware organized to ensure correct locations during reassembly

This front counterweight mounts to the washer's outer tub to stabilize the drum assembly during spin. Replacing a cracked or loose weight helps curb excessive vibration, banging, and walking, restoring smoother, quieter operation.

• Adds mass at the front of the outer tub to help balance loads during spin
• Controls vibration and noise; reduces walking and off-balance interruptions
• Typical failure signs: cracked or broken weight, missing chunks, loose/rattling mount, loud knocking, severe shaking
• Visible damage to the weight or mounting area can indicate replacement is needed

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply; wear gloves. The weight is heavy—use a second person if needed
• Support the tub and access the front of the outer tub; remove the original weight carefully to avoid damage
• Transfer and reuse any mounting hardware from the original part if needed; seat the new weight flush and tighten bolts evenly
• Run an empty test spin; inspect shocks/suspension and leveling

This rubber seal fits around the water temperature sensor where it passes through the tub or housing. It restores a watertight barrier at the sensor port to help prevent leaks and ensure reliable temperature feedback.

• Creates a watertight seal around the temperature sensor
• Helps prevent drips or leaks from the sensor opening
• Supports stable, accurate temperature readings during cycles
• Typical failure signs: cracked, flattened, or brittle seal; moisture at the sensor area; pooling water beneath the unit; temperature-related faults

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the sensor location and drain any remaining water
• Withdraw the sensor, remove the old seal, and clean the seating surface
• Lightly moisten the new seal with water, seat it fully, reinstall the sensor, and check for leaks during a test cycle

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed
