My washer fills up n won't agitate but will spin water out
For model number lat7300aav
Hi Jor,
Thank you for your question. If your washer will not agitate, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the belt, the lid check switch, the lid switch assembly, the lid switch, the glide and spring kit, the tension springs, the mounting stem/tub seal and the tub bearing. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My washer makes a squealing sound when the wash cycle begins and barely moves during the agitation. There is also an odor in my laundry room like burning rubber/plastic. From your site it looks like belts but i’ve read it could be the block or bell. I’m hoping it’s belts since that looks easy to repair. Thank you for your help.
For model number Maytag A112
Hello Diane, Thank you for your inquiry. We would definitely recommend checking the belt and pulley first. Hope this helps!

Burning smell, will not agitate
Is it worth it to repair a 25 year old washer?
For model number LAT9314AAE
Hello Diane, thank you for your question. Yes, if the unit works well otherwise, it is worth fixing the issue. That smell could be coming from the belt Belt Kit Part Number: 12112425, Brake AssemblyPart Number: WP6-2011900, Drain Pump Part Number: WP6-2022030, and Drive Motor - One Speed - 120V Part Number: 12002351 first. I hope this helps.

The belts were changed about 2 years ago, what is the time frame for belt changes, is this the problem for intermittent noise & vibration?
For model number la482
Hello Brian, Thank you for your inquiry. There is no recommended time frame for belt changes, it depends on how much the washer is used. The belt is one of the things that could cause the washer to be noisy and shaking. The other things I would check would be the damper pad kit and the glide and spring kit. Hope this helps!

The agitator has started banging during the wash cycle. I think the bang is when the agitator stops and changes direction. Will new belts help solve or stop the agitator from banging? Thanks.
For model number LAT8214AAL
Hello Anthony, thank you for your question. It could be that the belt has stretched and is causing the banging when the agitator stops to change direction. I would also check the Mounting Stem/Tub Seal Kit part number PS2351899. I hope this helps!

My machine would not agitate with a load of dark cloths but today i did a small load and works ok
For model number LAT2300AAE
Hi Jackie,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the belts, the agitator auger and base assembly, the lid switch assembly, the glide and spring kit, the agitator shaft collar and the mounting stem and tub seal. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Drum would not drain and there was a banging noise when the drum spun
I removed the 2 phillips screws on the bottom of the front panel. Then checked around to find the belts were actually below the floor panel. I pulled the washing machine away from the wall and tilted it bacwards and found the pump belt was off the pully and the drive belt was badly damaged. I replaced the 2 belts which took no tools and about 3 minutes to accomplish then resecured the front panel, pushed back in place and leveled. Complete repair from diagnosis to back in operation took less than 15 minutes.

Damper pads wore-out and had metal to metal contact which caused the washer to spin out of balance.
1: Disconnected all water and electrical connections. 2: Removed front panel. 3: Disconnected all wires leading from the control panel and removed the top of the washer. 4: Removed the springs that holds the drum down on the damper pads. 5: Flipped washer upside-down so the drum would hang from the bottom of the wash. This made it easy to clean the area since it was full of dirt and ground metal dust. 6: Glued new pads (per the instructions) to the cone that protrudes up from the bottom of the washer and allowed to dry. 7: Lubricated the pads with the provided grease and added additional silicon grease to insure smooth operation. 8: Replaced drive belt. 9: Flipped the washer back up-right and installed the drum springs. 10: Reconnected all wires and attached the top of the washer. 11: Reconnected all electrical and water lines and tested operation. 12: Replaced the front panel.
Washer now runs as quite and smooth as it did when it was new.
To see if the lid switch was the problem I first jumped it out and tried to start the washer. That was the problem. I removed the main controll so I could get to the lid switch. I made the mistake of removing the screws all the way out and the metal clip fell into the body of the washer, no problem since I was changing the drive beld anyway. I realized that you do not remove the screws all the way out, you just have to loosen them and then slide out the lid switch & then replace it.
I replace the belts - 5 min I tried to replace the glides...I couldn't figure out how to do that..I took out the motor and and the glide mechanism...but I could not get glide braket separate from the motor mount..so i did not do this I replace the springs and added 1 extra sping...3 instead of 2..it worked
Clothes would come out of the spin cycle still wet
First found out where the belts were by tipping the machine backwards and saw that the belts were intact but extremely loose. Ordered two belts (Drive and Pump) . Re-tipped the machine and in less than three minutes, had installed the new belts. I re-hooked the hoses to the back and the machine operated as if new.

Washer wouldn't spin
My washer stopped spinning, even though I could hear the motor running. I did some research and found out there was two belts, opened mine up and it was broken. I replaced the belt in five minutes, start to finish. Now it's running like new.

Strange noises - drum not always emptying
Found a very stretched, loose pump belt. Was able to pull it off pump pulley and motor pulley easily. Pushed motor assembly toward transmission pulley and removed wider drive belt. Wiped all pulleys clean. There's a double on the motor- one for drive belt, one for pump belt. Removed two hoses from pump using nutdriver. Removed pump. New pump installed. Installed two hoses on new pump. Installed drive new drive belt. Installed pump belt last. Slid pump to near farthest spot in slots. Tested for correct tension by pinching pump belt. Should be able to pinch center so two pump belt sides come within 1/4" of each other just as the spring tensioned motor mount starts to move. Pused washer back into place after external hoses connected. All new hose washers and filters on both hot and cold. Ran, checked for leaks - none! Absolutely perfect. Put front panel back on. No weird noises and drum empties perfectly every time. My wife is so pleased she's doing more loads.
After removing the two screws that hold the front panel in place , I could easily see the areas I needed to work in .Also , I removed the two screws securing the top panel and raised it a few inches . I saw how the damper pads were worn away . I removed the 3 dampering springs by removing the eyebolts and the base mounting nuts . After the dampering springs are removed , the washing drum can be lifted up off the bottom .Just lean the machine towards the rear and place a 4x4 lumber under the big pulley on the bottom and allow the machine to slowly come forward again resting on the lumber .I followed the instructions supplied and cleaned the excess dirt and debris away from the pad mounting areas . I applied the glue as instructed and allowed it to dry . A little dexterity was needed but the new pads easily went into position . After allowing a little more glue time ,I removed the 4x4 lumber from the bottom and lowered the machine .I installed new centering springs and tightened the eyebolts to thier original positions .I secured the top and the front panels and performed a couple test cycles . perfect , no vibration at all. like new . I replaced the two drive belts on the bottom because they had never been replaced and they definitely showed wear . Another test and I was completed in around 2 hours .
