Ed C Victor , NY September 29, 2014 Appliance: Model MAYTAG ATLANTIS ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION Maytag altantis (2001) very loud during spin not spinning heavy loads Quite a challanging repair - as many components corroded. Tube spin seal rubber boot failed, water leaked into shielded bearing. Replaced Bearing (shielded, not sealed - shame on you Maytag... Grrr!) & Tub seal. Used heat gun + pipe wrench to seperate large plastic parts, Automotive pressurised gasket eliminator (like Cheese Whiz) used to replace all gaskets. Runs like new now. Note - Use a fish spring scale to measure spin drum tq (to verify Transmission drag clutch is OK). Measure the drum force using spring scale during spin cycle (min was 2lbs before and 3 lbs after) repair. 2 lbs x 11in rad = 22in lbs (within 17~22 inlb desired tq). Have 20+ loads thru so far - no Worries. Hope to get another 5 years+ Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
