Jenn July 20, 2016 for Model Number MAV3905AWW My agitator is not moving at all and makes a terrible squeaking noise when it tries to so I ordered a new one with you guys thinking that the agitator dogs were broke but still no movement. What I don't understand. It spins very well and most things I have looked at if the agitator is not moving the spin shouldn't be working properly. Can you tell me what is wrong with my agitator?
1 Answer Hello Jenn. Make sure the brake is good on the unit. If so, you will need to replace the transmission 35-6615 in the unit. Read More...
Francois July 31, 2015 for Model Number MAV3905AWW i looked at the video to remove top part of the agitator (not the cap) i tried to separate the 2 parts by pulling but no result, want to put back the old agitator but with the top part on it's not that easy putting back the screw.
1 Answer Francois, This units agitator does not separate. When you pull off the agitator cap there will be a bolt down inside the agitator in order to pull the agitator out. Read More...
Jon April 26, 2015 for Model Number MAV3905AWW Ordered a new agitator for Maytag washer from you due to fins being broken off. New agitator arrived (part# 27001230). New agitator top auger spins freely counterclockwise as it should, but turns clockwise with little clicks. It should lock in clockwise direction, and I believe it is defective.
1 Answer Jon, You will want to install the agitator and if correct the clockwise rotation is supposed to have the clicking and will lock in on the counter clockwise rotation when installed. Read More...
Shawn April 06, 2014 for Model Number MAV5758EWW Does this Maytag model have agitator dogs? My clothes are very wet after spin cycle. When I turn the agitator, it spins both ways. Is it supposed to do that with this model?
1 Answer Shawn, Yes, this model agitator does have "dogs" but they are internal and cannot be replaced, you will need to order and install a new agitator 27001230. But this would have very little to do with the wet clothes at the end of the spin cycle. The most likely issue for the poor spin characteristic is a worn Thrust Bearing Assembly 12002213. If the tolerances are off, the mechanism will not unlock the brake rotor and or not lock the clutch and the tub will not get to maximum spin speed to extract all the water from the clothes.

Bruce July 29, 2012 for Model Number MAV4755AWW There is a loud intermittent squeaking sound that seems to be coming from the agitator when it ratchets around. Is there some repair/adjustment I can make to the agitator or does it need replacing. I have had it off and can't seem to separate the top from the base to see what is making the sound. If the top comes off could you tell me how to do it? thanks.
1 Answer Bruce, Sorry, but No, the agitator is a sealed component and can't be repaired. If your sure the noise is from the agitator, then it will need to be replaced 27001230 You may want to run the washer with the agitator out, to make sure the noise is not from the transmission upper bearing or agitator output shaft. Thanks Read More...
Richard M. May 05, 2011 for Model Number mav4757aww I just installed a auger assembly part # ap4036109 a couple days ago , and my washer worked fine . My wife did 4 or 5 loads of laundry and all ok .Last night my son did a load and the washer filled with water and when it was done and ready to go into the wash cycle it wouldn't start it just started humming until I helped it by turning it by hand . Now I cant even get it to do that . Did I do something wrong or is this a separate problem?
1 Answer Hello Richard. You will need to check the pump WP35-6780 and see if there is something stuck inside the pump. Also check the bearing on the bottom of the pump and make sure it is not locked up. If so, you will need to remove it or replace the pump assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Aline H. April 25, 2011 for Model Number mav4755aww Could you please explain what the actions of the dual agitator are at the different water levels. When the washer is set on medium or smaller , both parts of the dual agitator will agitate left and right . When the washer is set over medium , the lower agitator agitates left and right and the top agitator spins clockwise only.
1 Answer Hi Aline. According to your explanation it sounds like the auger is working properly. The lower portion of the auger will always turn at the same rate, regardless of the load size. The upper portion will turn in sync with the lower part when you run smaller loads. This is due to not enough friction created to allow the upper auger to spin separate from the lower portion. The upper portion should turn clockwise with heavier loads only. Hope this helps! Read More...
Richard M. April 23, 2011 for Model Number mav4757aww How do I get the old auger off, and get the new one back on?
1 Answer Hello Richard. You will need to pull the dispenser cap off the top of the agitator. Then remove the bolt under the cap inside the agitator. Once removed, the old agitator pulls off the transmission shaft. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
