Lawrence L Largo , FL August 08, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAV8600AWW Bearings were worn out makeing a lot of noise I had a lot of problems removing the spin hub, I had to use an air impact wrench to un screw it even then it was very hard, it did not go easy with the hammer & pipe wrench as shown in the video. It was also very hard to remove the bottom spin bearing I had to cut the bearing retainer with a dremel tool so I could get my puller on it. After I struggled to get it apart The repair went very easy, I used brake spring pliers to remove the springs it worked like a charm. I am very pleased with the results, It works Like a new machine, would I do it again, Yes even though I am 72 years old, The video's were very helpful, Thank You Lawrence Lyons.

Todd F Wellsburg , WV January 20, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAV7257AWW General overhaul of a 14 year old machine Model# MAV7257AWW Maytag Atlantis Washing Machine. Repairs were fairly easy along with the videos appliancepartspros offers on their website. Parts also came with instructions on how to install. Other videos were available on You Tube. The only part difficult to install was Thrust bearing kit - make sure when installing to pull down on shaft so washer and e-clip will fit. Another note, you can get a pulley for your replacement motor pulley on eBay and Maytag.com. Just pay close attention to make sure it specifies your machine and motor model. a Oh, and don't forget to replace the belt like I did when doing an overhaul! Overall great experience!

Ping J Southborough , MA June 15, 2021 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer SAV515DAWW Loud noise like jet engine during fast spin I suspected the main bearing had worn out, and I was right. It is a difficult job, because I am retired, I had the time. During disassembly, I found the hub had rusted really bad, it needed replacement. I did not buy special tools. The manufacturer repair manual says to use three OEM tools, I made some tools with wood. Simon's video is a big help. Now the washer is quiet, time will tell how good a job I did. This is the first time I opened up a washer, the second time would be much easier.
