Strat December 23, 2019 for Model Number SAV3710AWW Changed upper and lower bearing, brake pads do I need to change the brake rotor also. On spin cycle will not spin fast. The clothes are still wet.
1 Answer Hello Strat, do this check but proceed with caution , open the lid , hold down the lid switch and put washer into a spin cycle, observe the agitator as the basket starts to spin up, the agitator should be locked in position with the basket and rotate with it. If you see it agitating in the spin cycle then the transmission is faulty and needs replacing. Read More...
Gordon M October 24, 2016 for Model Number SAV405DEWW I have a Maytag Legacy Series washing machine. Whenever it is in the spin cycle there is a loud clunking noise that comes and goes. The tub spins very fast and otherwise works well. Any idea what is making this noise ??
1 Answer Gordon, The most likely cause for this issue would be the drain pump that is causing the noise that this unit is making. Check the pump for something caught in it. Read More...
Tom July 01, 2015 for Model Number SAV405DEWW I have a Legacy washer Model SAV405DEWW. Everything works fine until the spin cycle. During the spin cycle the helix mounted to the pulley keeps riding up the slope of the plastic helix, mounted to the very bottom of the transmission, and popping over the edge. It sounds like a machine gun. The drum will turn but not very much. I would think something is supposed to keep enough pressure on one of the helix to prevent that. The idler pull and assembly are supposed to allow the belt to tighten slowly bringing the drum up to full speed speed. What is allowing the two helix to slip? This washer only has about 3 years of use.
1 Answer Hello Tom. Look for wear and replace the helix if it has wear. Also, make sure the brakes are releasing. If so, the transmission is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Shawn B May 03, 2015 for Model Number SAV571EEWW My Maytag washer does not spin "fast" during the final spin cycle. The clothes are still damp at the end of the cycle. I've checked the speed switch to ensure it's on the correct setting and also verified the switch is functioning properly. No loud noises or anything unusual. In fact, its quieter now since it's not spinning as fast. Could this be a transmission problem?
1 Answer Shawn, You will want to check the helix on the pulley on the bottom of the unit and also check the belt to make sure that it is not damaged. This is the 2 most common causes for the issue. Read More...
Al April 14, 2015 for Model Number SAV5910EWW The inner shaft of the transmission drops down to low to release the brake. Is there a broke c clip?
1 Answer Hello Al. If the shaft of the transmission is dropping down to low on the unit, you will need to order and replace the transmission W10840857 on the unit. Read More...
Chuck August 29, 2014 for Model Number NAV3330EWW Washer seems to run well until it gets to high speed spin cycle, then becomes very very loud and tub shakes. Found 2 brake pads broken, replaced all 3 and put new belt on. No change. Is the transmission going bad?
1 Answer Hello Chuck. Usually that is caused by bad bearings in the unit. You will need to check the tub bearings. Also, make sure the milk stool is good in the unit as well. Read More...
Liz July 19, 2014 for Model Number MDG6657BWQ My e clip broke on transmission shaft. I replaced it and got my agitator to work but my drum does not turn.
1 Answer Liz, There should be a washer that would go under the e clip and if the washer is not in place then the unit will not have the lift to allow the brake to disengage during the spin cycle. Read More...
Jennifer January 27, 2014 for Model Number amana washing machine nav6800aww The drum is very hard to turn clockwise but spins very easy counterclockwise. Would it be the transmission or brake?
1 Answer Hello Jennifer. It sounds like the brake is holding as it should on the unit. Try turning the pulley under the unit and see what it does instead of the drum. Read More...
Praiman Sookar May 15, 2012 for Model Number sav5910eww When the washer is washing, does the tub spins or remains in a stationary position?

Julie May 02, 2012 for Model Number sav5910aww My washer when it is on the cycle spin there is a sound underneath and the belt spins, but the washer's agitator doesn't move.
1 Answer Hello Julie. Check and see if the helix WP40047402 is bad under the pulley and is not allowing the pulley to rise and release the brakes. If so, you will need to replace the helix on the unit. If the brakes are releasing and the unit does not spin, you will need to replace the transmission W10840857 in the unit. Read More...
