Drive belt for our washer.
The part worked well, easy to install. However that was not the problem with the washer. We have ordered a new washer.

Tight but fit
The belt was a little tight to put on the washer. It took two days and three people to get it on properly. Works fine once on though.

Noise on bottom of Washer louder as time went on. 1 1/2 years
Well, first investigated and found loose nut on drive clutch. First take off the two screws with nut drive then cover off using a screwdriver blade to snap off the cover. Then socket ratchet to take off the nut on drive clutch. take off belt by slowly rotating the drive gear. two screws that hold the electronics to the upper drive clutch and put aside, so you can snap off the cover for drive clutch on upper part with screwdriver and off the parts come and install whole unit back as took it apart. Line up the new upper clutch so that is position as was before. (Using parts diagram helps a lot as www. partsselect.com has for you or Maytag.com.) Then put the electronic part board back on and the gear and nut. Make sure it is tight by several attempts to make sure it's snugged up good and then slowly roll belt back on the pulley and motor drive. Put your cover guard back on with two screws and done.
First, I checked the belt before ordering and then decided to order the belt, capacitor, and clutch assembly (if I needed to replace). I replaced the belt noticing the older belt came right off and new one was tighter going on. I replaced the capacitor since I had it handy and it can be known to cause this smell also. After setting washer back up and started a cycle I noticed the spin cycle would not start properly so I thought maybe the capacitor (new one) was faulty or just not the exact match even though it was said to be. I replaced my older capacitor back on and again ran cycle and it ran great. Thus I decided to send the parts which were not used. I would recommend this site as I have used them in the past before on other items. They ship fast and have a great return policy if parts not used.

washer wasn't spinning after rinsing but the motor was running
I had taken the time to watch videos of this repair so when the switch arrived I knew what I had to do. Removing the screws to get the back cover off was simple as was installing the switch. No tricks here just watch the videos and your all set to do the job

Loose pulley
Tightened up the pulley as the video showed me that might be the issue.
Removed belt cover from bottom of the transmission , remove old belt, clean the pulleys ,and re install new belt. The new belt fits tighter so it did a few time to get the belt fully seated. Re install belt cover.

heavy loads did not spin dry properly
I followed the instructions provided by the video which I thought were spot on. Even to the size of the phillips screw driver.
Please check the order was refused so I would not have to pay to ship back. The lady I spoke to on the phone said to do it this way. I have been TRYING to call for 2 weeks but no one is answering the phone due to CV19!! The order is back at your warehouse. Please give me my refund!! Plus I have emailed your CS dept. numerous times with NO answer, only automated.
Once we put the washer on it's side noticed lots of oil on the floor and in the belt cover area. Replaced belt anyway but issue is the leaking transmission. Starting warranty process since Maytag carries a 10-year part warranty and machine is 6.5 years old. Wish me luck !!!

Suspension rods were worn; washer is 10+ years old
Replaced the suspension rods, suspension rod supports, main drive belt, tub centering springs, water supply hoes, and washer drain hose. Taped new front suspension rods to side of tub to ensure that they did not slide down when raising the washer off its back from the floor. Had a helper lift the tub, which made attaching the new suspension rods easy. The tub is extremely heavy so by a helper lifting it up it made attaching the new suspension rods much easier. IMPORTANT: According to the technician's manual, which was taped to the inside of the washer, it is absolutely necessary to recalibrate the washer after replacing any suspension parts. We did this by following the instructions in the tech manual. Failure to recalibrate a washer could result in poor performance. The procedure is different for each brand or model of washer, but again is absolutely essential after replacing suspension parts of any kind. For some unknown reason, our washer did not have the tub centering springs. Our model should have had the springs.Facing the washer, we attached one to the front left tub housing and one to right rear of the tub housing. Recommend that anyone watch the installation videos for the suspension rods, center springs, and main drive belt before attempting the repairs.

My washer stopped spinning and I smelled a rubber smell. I followed your directions for replacing the drive belt and when I took the cover off I found a lot of black oil on the cover all over the pulley on the right. Is that normal when the drive belt breaks down?
For model number WTW5700XL2
Hello Sue,
Thanks for your question. Replacing the belt is a good start for your issue - we would also advise cleaning the pulleys and seeing if any parts are leaking oil onto it.
I hope this helps.

I’m having issues with my washer going into a fast spin. It will spin but not enough so my clothes are still dripping when it finishes. If i run a small load and put it on the solo spin cycle it will then spin fast enough. Do i need a new belt?
For model number WTW4800XQ0
Hello Bethany, Thank you for your inquiry. We would actually recommend checking the agitator directional cogs, agitator cam kit and shift actuator first. You can inspect the belt for any wear and tear and if it looks worn, then it should be replaced. Hope this helps!

When the load is slowing down from spinning it sounds like it may be a coin or something underneath the bottom of basket. Can you help?
For model number MVWX700XW2
Hello Donna,
Thanks for your question. Check for any loose objects that may have fallen into the washer. If there is nothing, check the belt and the suspension rods with their supports, as that can cause a noise similar to what you are experiencing.
I hope this helps.
My washer stops when it seems to get warm. It will not spin and i can still hear the motor or sensors running. If i turn it off and wait a few hours, then restart it will run. Will not spin water out
For model number WTW4950XW2
Hello Linda, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Shift Actuator part PS11747977, the Lid Latch Assembly part PS3497627, or this Drive Belt part PS11747978. We hope this helps.

Squeaking sound only during agitation cycle, even on delicate cycle..
For model number wtw4800xq1
Hello Edward, thank you for your question. The squeaking noise could be coming from the agitator, belt, drive block or pulley. We would recommend checking over those parts first to see if you can notice any wear and tear and if so, replace the corresponding part. I hope this helps!

Powers up but will not agitate
For model number wtw560xw3
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not agitating, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the washer, the shift actuator, the drive belt, the clutch assembly, the lid latch assembly, the washplate, the hub and the shield. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My washer is noisy (kind of squeals) when it is spinning. When the machine is not running I have noticed that the empty tub is very loosy goosy to the touch. Any idea if this sounds like it needs the belt replaced? Or?
For model number MVWC200BW0
Hi Tammy, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Tub Seal, Part Number: PS3407958 for wear. You can also check the block, Part Number: PS1410833 and make sure the Tub Ring, Part Number: PS11756029 is not damaged or needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!
