make loud rubbing noise like a finger on wet glass
It auger would barely spin and the machine would squeal to a stop after the spin cycle. After reading some other posts on here, I decided that it is most likely the brake so I bought the brake repair kit. Because the machine was old, I took the time to clean it while I was repairing the brake; thus the extra time, but it was well worth it.
1) go to hard ware store and buy 6 2" #10-24 screws; they will be required to remove and install the brake spring
2) you have to gut the machine (which is very easy) - working from the top * unplug, drain water, and move it to an open space where you can easily work on the floor around it, and where you have a wall to support the top panel of the machine * tilt washer on the side and remove the drive belt and pulley from the main shaft in the center * lower washer and then remove the front panel and raise the top panel to rest against the wall/backstop * remove the auger * remove the white top from the tub * remove any hoses connected to the plastic tub * now you can push the tub to each side so that you can remove the springs - it is easier if you have someone push the tub down from the top while you remove the springs with pliers. * remove the tub
3) remove the brake - working from the top with the tub turned upside down * remove every other screw from the break and replace with the 2" screws * remove the remaining original screws and replace with the 2" screws * now, release the screws so that the brake spring is release with equal pressure on each screw * remove the brake guts and replace with new
4) now would be a good time to clean out any mold and mildew
5) re-assembly is opposite of removal* * the springs are more difficult to attach, and I would recommend starting with the spring in the back, by the drain and working towards the front of the washer
My machine is now quieter than when we first bought it! The brake was the problem!
Tried to remove brake stator with machine tilted back. Thisforced the stator off center. Removed the 6 holddown springs, water level hose and drain hose. Pull drum & transmission out of the case. Placed the drun on the ground, brake facing up. Replaced the short screws on the brake stator with 2" screws one at a time. Caution the spring has 200 lbs of force. Used 2" screws to back off spring. With spring tenshion released replace parts. Reversed proceedurer. Machine quite. Wife is happy.
first remove drive belt then then remove dust cover on bottom of shaft take 5/16 nut driver to only 4 of the screws off that hold the brake cover on install 4 5/16 screws 1" long in those 4 spots.reomve rest of screws then slowly reomve back out 1" screws to relve spring pressure from brake pad.install all new parts from partsselect.com then install other part taken off in oreder and make your wife very happy

Washer runs great but makes loud squeal when stops at different times during cycle??
For model number MAV7700AWW
Hi Richard,
Thank you for your question. There are a few parts that you could check to see if they need to be replaced. I would suggest transmission pulley, your bearing, and your belt. Those parts are usually the ones that cause that screeching noise when your appliance is working. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Replacing the snubber ring only. There are six screws holding the plate down. When I remove three of the screws and place the three (1 1/4 ) longer screws in, then when I back of the last three screws there is no springe pushing the plate up. I expected there to be some upward pressure as I back off the screws. Could the spring be broken? What would be the symptom if it is indeed broken? Are you sure the Longer screws are really necessary? Thanks
For model number MAV408DAWW REV 10
Hi Arnold, Thank you for writing. We suggest watching the how to video on replacing the ring for more details. If the Spring is damaged or missing you will not get resistance. We suggest checking the spring to see if it needs to be replaced. We hope this helps!
