Peter M Houston , TX May 08, 2016 Appliance: Model MHWE200XW00 MAYTAG The problem was that the counter wieght was broke springs replaced shock absrobor First remove the back from the washing machine. Top of the machine came off simple. To replace springs, I took a crow bar but it on the right side underneath where one of the springs should be. Lift the tumbler up remove and replace the spring. Did the same thing to the other side. On the tumbling unit there are spaces for three shock absorbers. Mine only had one shock in the middle. I put two new springs, one in the front and one in the rear. Then I replaced the right side spring with two new springs. The way to remove the springs are, use a screw driver but it in the top slot of the spring and turn it counter clock wise and do the same to the bottom of the spring. Replacing the counter weight, remove three bolts on top of the tumbler unit. Put new counter weight on top of tumbler and screw it back in. Replace back of washing machine. Then you are finished.
