W J Panama City Beach , FL February 26, 2023 Appliance: Maytag Washer MVWC565FW1 Agitator drive failed I had to cut the old agitator out with an oscillating saw in order to access the agitator drive. This is the second Maytag (MVWC 565) I have had to do this to. I first tried removing it by sliding straps under the agitator then then using a jack to pull it loose which did not work either time. One suggestion I have would be to remove debris from tub as you cut in order to prevent it from dropping from the inner tub into the outer tub.

S Brett D Trappe , PA January 08, 2023 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW5000DW1 Lots of noise/skipping hear teeth during spin slow down. Installed new Gear Case/Transmission, Drive Clutch, Drive Hub Kit, 6 drive hub kit screws, Shift Actuator, Washplate, wash plate bolt and drive belt. Second time in three years that the gear case shaft splines wore out. I’ve actually been babying the washer for the past year until it finally said no more than 5 days ago. Read More...

Paul F Hawley , TX December 27, 2022 The agitator gear worn code s2 or 52 (display had to tell) basket wouldn't spin. I replaced the drive gear again. I replaced the gear back in the summer, but apparently, the screws had backed out a little and it was enough to make the drive shaft chew up the gear. Going forward I'm going to periodically check the screws and if they start backing out again I may put some blue Loctite on them. I can't understand why plastic drive gears are used in a high efficiency washing machine. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Brian P St Cloud , MN February 17, 2023 The main bearings in our Cabrio washer went out. We ordered a kit from another supplier. Should have got them here. I WILL if there is a next time. Well, it is a pretty involved adventure I have to say. But, AppliancePartsPros.com had an excellent video that covered everything I needed to know. Since I had been through this 2 years ago, I was somewhat familiar with the procedure. So watching it again was very helpful. It made the job only a 3-hour business for me. Even though it is not needed, I was blessed to be able to use a forklift to have better access to the bottom as you need to alternately work from both the top and bottom sides to accomplish the repair. In the end, the last bolt, the one that holds the agitator, was ruined by defective threads in the previous shift I installed. AppliancePartsPros.com had a very good parts breakdown with pictures and it was simple to find the bolt I needed. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros! Read More...
