Byron V Bellevue , MI February 04, 2020 Appliance: Model MAYTAG Washer would only spin. Found the wonderful parts diagrams you most generously share online and a couple of YouTube videos . I determined it should be repairable. In my cast the agitator shaft was frozen (rusted) in place. I was very fortunate to have been able to eventually remove it with the use of a lot of BP penetrating oil and heat. Long and short the replacement parts fit perfectly and the washer is running like new. Special thanks to the online support make my repair possible.

Jason L Lees Summit , MO September 24, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A212S Sticking/seizing agitator output shaft leading to belt failure leaving washer inoperable Perfectly! Replacing Agitator Shaft is not for the faint of heart. Replacing output shaft pinion gear on the bottom of the agitator shaft requires care, experience and patience with pressing/driving drift pins without damaging the gear itself. One slip of the drift/punch or press apparatus will ruin the gear/teeth face and will lead to failure of the transmission internally when put back into service. As best as I can tell the pinion gear is discontinued and no longer available so take care! Be sure to replace all seals, gaskets and transmission oil for a comprehensive long term repair. I'm sure a new tub bearing and stem repair kit will also be in order if your making this repair. Best of luck everyone!
