Maytag Pavt-1 Parts

This tub bolt fastens the washer's inner tub to its hub/drive assembly, keeping the basket stable during agitation and spin. Replacing a worn or missing bolt restores a secure connection and helps reduce vibration and noise.

• Secures the spin basket to the drive hub/shaft
• Helps maintain proper tub alignment and stability
• Common fix for rattling, excessive vibration, or loose tub movement
• May prevent spin errors caused by a shifting basket connection

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supply before service
• Access is typically from the top by removing the agitator or washplate
• Use the correct socket/driver; do not over-tighten
• Inspect companion hardware (hub, spacer, washers) and replace if worn

This cabinet top clip is a small plastic retainer that secures the appliance's top/cabinet to the chassis, keeping the cabinet aligned and preventing movement or rattling. It restores a flush fit between the cabinet and body. What it does:

• Secures the top/cabinet panel to the appliance frame so the cabinet stays in place
• Prevents the cabinet from shifting, vibrating, or sitting unevenly
• Helps stop gaps that can let dirt or moisture into cabinet seams
• Common symptom: loose, rattling, or misaligned cabinet top or trim

• One cabinet top clip

• Always disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Remove necessary trim or panels to access the cabinet clip; a screwdriver or trim tool may be needed
• Replace broken or worn clips with matching parts only; inspect surrounding fasteners for damage

Size: 10-24 x .50 HXNI.

This is a genuine replacement screw that secures appliance panels and small components to restore proper fit and reduce noise. Use it to replace missing or stripped fasteners for a secure, long-lasting connection. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, and small internal components
• Restores proper alignment to eliminate vibration or rattling
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that cause loose parts
• Helps ensure panels and assemblies stay securely mounted during operation

• Disconnect power and/or gas supply before working on the appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw, then tighten firmly but avoid over-torquing
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct OEM screw rather than re-using

A stabilizer bracket that secures and supports internal components to reduce movement and rattle during operation. Helps restore stable alignment so the appliance runs quieter and more reliably. What it does:

• Provides structural support to help keep assemblies aligned and reduce excessive movement
• Dampens vibration and minimizes knocking or rattling noises tied to loose components
• Restores proper fit where a worn or broken bracket allowed shifting or misalignment
• Works as a repair for symptoms like intermittent noise, excess vibration, or parts that sag or shift

• Disconnect power (and water if appliance-specific) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools are usually required; refer to your model's service manual for exact steps
• Inspect surrounding parts for wear while replacing the bracket

This brake spring restores proper tension in the washer's transmission brake so the basket stops promptly and releases cleanly for spin. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps bring back smooth, reliable spin and stopping performance.

• Maintains brake tension to hold the basket stationary between cycles
• Releases the brake during spin so the basket can reach proper speed
• Helps stop the basket smoothly at cycle end
• Common signs include no/slow spin, basket coasting too long after spin, or brake squeal/grinding when stopping

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear gloves and eye protection.
• The brake spring is under tension—secure the assembly and carefully relieve spring force before removal.
• Access typically requires removing drive components to reach the brake assembly; support the washer safely if tilted.
• After installation, hand-rotate the drive pulley to ensure smooth brake engagement and release before running a test cycle.

This lid switch assembly kit is the washer's safety interlock. It detects when the lid is closed so the control can allow the machine to spin, helping restore safe, reliable operation when the original switch fails.

• Senses lid closed and enables the spin cycle
• Prevents spinning with the lid open for safety
• Common failure symptoms: no spin or intermittent spin
• Requires pressing or jiggling the lid to run; no audible "click" when closing the lid

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the switch under the top/console area; remove the old switch/bracket as designed
• Route wiring along the original path and secure away from moving parts
• Align the actuator so the lid reliably engages the switch; test spin operation before reassembly

Mounting screw used to secure panels, trim, brackets, and small appliance components. Replace a missing or damaged fastener to restore proper fit, reduce vibration, and keep parts aligned for safe operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, control boards, brackets, and trim to maintain correct assembly
• Replaces stripped, broken, or missing screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps prevent misalignment that can interfere with doors, knobs, or covers
• Standard fastener interface — use the correct driver and size for a secure fit

• Disconnect power and/or gas and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid damage to threads or surrounding parts
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating component or use the correct thread-repair method

This lid switch housing secures and protects the washer's lid switch assembly so the machine can detect the lid position reliably. It replaces a cracked or broken housing to restore proper switch alignment and protection. What it does:

• Holds the lid switch assembly in the correct position for reliable lid detection.
• Shields the switch from impacts and debris that can cause intermittent failures.
• Common symptom: washer won't start, won't spin, or shows lid-lock-related errors when the housing is damaged.
• Restores consistent electrical/mechanical engagement between the lid and switch when installed correctly.

• Unplug the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically needed; follow the OEM diagram for correct removal and reassembly.
• Inspect the lid switch and wiring while replacing the housing; replace any damaged components.

This gasket seals the basket to the center shaft to help prevent leaks and reduce noise from worn or damaged seals. It restores a proper seal between the tub/basket and the drive shaft for reliable operation. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the basket/tub and the center drive shaft to help prevent water from leaking into the motor/tub area
• Helps reduce rubbing noise caused by a worn or torn seal
• Restores a tight fit after seal failure, wear, or damage
• Common symptom: water leakage from the tub area or visible wear around the shaft opening

• Refer to the exploded parts diagram for correct positioning and orientation
• Inspect mating surfaces for damage or residue and clean before installing the new gasket
• Replace only when the appliance is unplugged and water supply is turned off; follow safety procedures for draining and securing the unit
• If other components show wear (shaft seals, basket, or fasteners), replace them as recommended by the OEM

This white timer skirt is the decorative bezel that surrounds and protects the timer control on the appliance's control console, restoring a clean, finished appearance and helping keep debris away from the timer mechanism. What it does:
