    Maytag MCT Top Load Washer MVWX655DW gear shaft fused to plastic?

    The agitator stopped working about a month ago on our 4.5 year old washer. When the Maytag authorized technician came out he said he couldn't see what the problem was because he could not get the bolt out of the agitator plate. Long story short, we soaked it in clr and he came back. Got the bolt...

    Maytag Washer MVWC300VW1 Agitator Drive Shaft Spins Freely

    My agitator is not working and spins freely so I went through the checklist of stuff I could find on the forums and here's where I'm at: 1. It's direct drive, no belt to fail 2. The teeth between the top of the shaft that go to the agitator itself are not worn (they're actually metal), manually...

    GTW460ASJ8WW - Washer agitator seems to lose power with load

    Hello all. I have a GE Top load which has a problem I cannot diagnose. I need some help understanding what may be the faulty part. When the washer has a reasonable load of cloths, the agitator plate appears to lose power and is not able to move independent of the drum. I can hear the motor...

    Hello! Before we begin I just wanted to say how cool it is you guys run this whole place on nothing but donations and care. Anyways: I recently purchased a Frigidaire FEX831FS1 stacked washer/dryer second hand, and made the mistake of not insisting to see it run before money changed hands...

    Hi all, My 80 Series washer recently started making noise during the agitation and the spin cycle. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but I'm absolutely new to the appliance space, so I apologize if I use the incorrect terms for something, because I probably will... During the agitation cycle...

    Whirlpool Washer WTW5000DW3 Washplate/Agitator Swap???

    We have a brand new WTW5000DW3 with a washplate and I swear this washer doesn't clean worth a damn even though everything is working as designed. I've had topload washers in the past that cleaned great, but they had the traditional agitator. I'm sure it's possible (pending splines/dimensions)...

    Maytag Washer PAV3360AWW - grinding noise on agitation

    We got this unit with our house and it's been fine, occasionally unbalancing, and a few days ago suddenly developed a loud grinding noise during agitation. This seemed to be associated with less or no agitation as well. The unit spins absolutely fine, and drains, no extra noise. I pulled apart...

    I have a Maytag Washer that my roommate bought for cheap from someone on Craigslist. I'm not entirely sure of it's age, but we were able to use it for about a week before I noticed that the spin cycle had stopped working. I could hear the motor running, but it was definitely not...

    Hello fellers, I have an old Whirlpool WTW5300SQ0 washing machine that had worn agitator dogs. I opened it up to install a new agitator kit I bought online.

    Hi. My mom has a Kenmore 110.82174110 washer. For a while now, the machine would leak on maximum load. She has been circumventing the issue by running a slightly less-than-full load. But recently the agitator started having problems. If she fills the tub to full/near full with only water...

    WPRE6150K2WT GE Washer not spinning

    Been through many troubleshooting recommendations. Open and closed the cover 10 times after power up - didn't reset motor. Blew air into pressure valve and hear switch click so i think good there. No blinking diag lights on motor - so questioning if thermal fuse is blown. Read that some newer...

    GTWN4000M Clothes Tangled Around Agitator - Affecting Spin Cycle

    These are all new issues which began occurring a month or so ago. I appreciate any input you have. Thank you for your time. My GE top-load washer (GTWN4000M) recently began tangling clothes around the agitator. When this happens, it also usually doesn't enter the final spin cycle, so all the...

    Within the past two weeks we have been experiencing problems with our Maytag Bravo top load washer. Usually the agitator/wash plate will move during the Sensing cycle and then of course during the Wash cycle. Unfortunately this is not happening so the clothes appear to just sit there during the...

    WPSR3100W0WW Agitator will only spin when washer is empty

    I have a GE washing machine that came with my house (unsure as to its age). I noticed recently that the agitator was barely moving. I replaced the agitator coupler with no success (the old one honestly was in pretty good shape). Both the top and bottom are failing to rotate, so the problem isn't...
