LAT8206AAM Maytag Washer - Instructions

First I had to hold the balls into the little holes on the side of the lid - one at a time- and tap the plastic ball into the side with a small hammer. I did the same with the other side. Silde the lid to match the holes located on the washing machine - give a little push to make sure that the balls are in place. You have your lid fixe ...

Note: If the balls fall out - make sure to tap a little harder so that the balls stay in place.

unhooked power plug removed 2 top screws tilted topfront panel back removed cracked fuse holder replaced with new fuse holder put top cover back on installed 2 top screws plugged in power cord done!

I disconnected both water hoses from the back of the machine. I then unscrewed the panel that holds the water inlet valve. After disconnecting the two electrical connections from the valve and replacing it with the new unit, the job was done.

It was as simple as leaning the machine back far enough so I could get to the belts - which were on the bottom. The diagrams that came with the ordered parts were right on. This is the first time I have attempted this myself - my repairman has retired - I'm sure I will do it again.

Took off the top rear off the washer, Removed the top control section,disconnected the wire harness, snaped out the old switch and installed the new one, connected the wire harness, put everything back together, and it was working again!

Unplug the washing machine , disconnect the water hoses, and remove two screws. Then remove the bracket and valve from its area. Remove the electrical connections and the small hose, and then reverse the procedures with the new water valve.Plug the washing machine electrical cord in , and hopefully savor the positive results.

Removed the front panel. Then blocked up the front of the machine. Removed the pump belt. Removed the 3 5/16" screws from the bottom of the old one and tilted it slightly to remove. Put the new one in and reinstalled the 3 screws. Put the belt back on and slid new pump all the way to the right and tightened 1 screw. Loosened the screw ...

Frist remover the two screws from washer front. The ones that are about 5 inches from the floor. Pulled front cover toward me and removed. The hose was right in the front that was cracked. It was held on by two hose clamps. I just removed the old and put in the new. No more water on the floor. Shipping was fast for the hose too. T ...

Followed the procedures recommended for replacement of all the parts included in the Tub Bearing Kit and the Mounting Stem/Tub Seal kit as illustrated in a detailed, 32 minute repair video for the Maytag A606 washer which is available on YouTube. Many difficulties were experienced in the disassembly procedures due to extensive corrosion ... Read more of tub bearing and tub stem parts (the washer is 47 years old).
I was not successful in using a special tub wrench that was purchased to break loose the old tub mounting stem and its threaded lock nut. The old tub mounting stem, lock nut, and the tub bearing race had to be cut off the threaded support shaft using a saws-all electric tool. Finally, corrosion on the edge of the tub caused problems with water leaks once the tub top and its rubber tub seal ring were reinstalled and the washer was put back into operation. The bottom line is that it may be questionable to attempt major repairs on washers that are 40+ years old and have any extensive corrosion in internal, mechanical parts.

I didn't know it was a timer problem, so had called a repair firm. He diagnosed the problem quickly, then said it would 2 weeks to get a part, and then $140 to install it. His part cost was $150.

I asked him to leave it disassembled and looked at buying a new washer. After seeing they cost approximately $1000 I figured it wa ... Read more s worth the risk to try to make the repair myself.

The top of the control handle popped off easily with a screwdriver, and the little metal clip came off with a screwdriver to pry it off. I gently removed the other control plastic pieces to ensure the spring did not go flying.

The old timer came off with the use of a socket though a screwdriver woudl have worked, I was worried about stripping the screws.

The new timer came within 5 days, including a weekend, faster than the service company supposedly could get it.

The timer had one part that needed to be inserted into a gear, and the metal clips needed to be bent down a bit to keep it inserted. I had the old timer to look at, this took 2 minutes to figure out, and 15 seconds to accomplish.

I attached the ground wire and then placed the timer where it goes and started to put the screws back in. I removed it again and started the screws on a flat service to get the threading started properly, removed the screws and then attached it easily to the washer.

Putting all the other small parts back only took a couple minutes.

I had not watched the repair person remove the back plate, so figuring out where the screws went took some time as there were 14 holes and 7 screws. If I had taken the back off it would have been trivial.

I plugged it back in and it has run fine for over 20 loads since I replaced the part last week.

I would make sure you mark where the screws go, and keep the old timer until the new one is working. I would also look to see where the ground wire goes before removing the old one.

A cup of coffee, a couple tools, and you are set within 45 minutes of the new part arriving. I also took advantage of moving the machine to clean up around the back and underneath, a little time and a lot of dirt.

iremove the two screws that is on the lid and then ipulled that out then secound step remove the part is on the back were is the suit of the washer machine were is the hoses of the water hot and cold its berry easy to do it your self thank you

Removed two screws and lifted the control console then tilted forward the shell. Removed two screws holding the latch cover and assembly then disconnected two wires. I played with the assembly until I discoved the element was toast. Ordered the part but when I got it I was confused because it had three prongs (two on one side and one ... Read more on the other) when the burnt one had only one and one and I only had 2 disconnect wires. I thought I had gotten the wrong part but figured it out. Actually putting the assembly together was the easy part, trying to get the outer shell back together was a little tough. Between taking it a part, figuring out what was wrong and ordering and receiving the part was about three weeks. So when putting it all together took awhile but I did it and it works great.

Very Easy Repair! Removed 2 screws at the bottom using a philips screw driver(one on each side). Lifted the cover up to detach. 2 screws at the top were removed using a socket set (one on each side). Old tub cover snapped off easily. Make sure you set the cover the same way as the old cover. The new cover snapped on with minimal force. Ma ... Read more ke sure it's fully seated.
