Jason W Kingston , TN December 05, 2023 Appliance: Maytag Washer MVWB865GW0 Bearing on the gearcase failed and caused some fatigue on rotor and clutch. We watched the videos posted on AppliancePartsPros.com website several times before starting the work. Once we were confident of the process, we jumped in with the complete disassembly of the washing machine's drum rotating assembly...everything that touched the drum or made it rotate. My son and I disassembled and inspected each part for wear/damage and ordered replacement parts based on condition. The parts came in within 3 days of ordering. My son and I took 3 hours to reassemble and test the washing machine for operation. It took 30 minutes to get everything together, and it took 2.5 hours to figure out how to get the drum onto the gearcase without damaging it. Once we figured that out, it was smooth sailing.

Chadwick E Sulphur , LA March 08, 2024 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW8500DC0 Grinding sound from inside during the washing cycle. it was found that the wash plate gear mesh was worn smooth and was "free spinning" I ended up ordering and replacing both the wash plate and the transmission. I ordered the transmission from your site and came in very fast (3 days) and was in excellent new condition, well protected in the shipping box. Replacing the transmission requires the wash tub to be removed, which was the most difficult of all the steps. I did not have the special spanner to remove the wash tub retaining nut, so I used a pipe wrench and hammer to loosten. This is a 8 year old washer, so the nut fought me the whole way. After that, the underside motor and transmission was easily removed and replaced, just mostly bolts to remove. Motor reassembled easily too. I am still waiting for the new wash plate to arrive, but after reassembly of the transmission and wash tub, I gave it a test run and everything worked perfectly. This was well worth the work rather than replacing the whole washing machine! Thanks AppliancePartsPros.com!! Read More...
