Maytag MAV7600AWW Spin Problems

[albinati]

I have just replaced the transmission, bearing, and spin nut. Everything seems to work except the spin cycle. The machine makes a spinning noise but the tub doesn't turn.

What have I done wrong?

Hi,

I have just replaced the transmission, bearing, and spin nut

For what reason?

transmission

bearing

Which one?

spin nut

Whats that?

Everything seems to work except the spin cycle. The machine makes a spinning noise but the tub doesn't turn

Thrust bearing and pulley is/was ok?....is installed back on ok? The thrust bearing and pulley push up to release the brake so the washer can spin. The brake splines where greased up?

My original problem was a harsh squeal during the spin cycle. I had a service guy diagnose the problem and since the parts only were under warranty I did the replacement myself.

Personally, I think it was the bearing only, but they sent me a transmission, bearing kit and the spin nut at the base of the tub so I replaced everything.

I suspect that you are correct that the problem is down at the pulley. But I can't figure out what the problem is. When I took the pulley apart, it kind of exploded and the parts went everywhere so I'm not positive I got all the parts back in the right order (there were many washers, etc.). Also the unit that engages the spin (on the inside of the pulley) could have been installed two different ways. Perhaps I got this backwards?

Where are the brake splines, on the base of the transmission where the pulley attaches?

During?...or at the end?...of the spin?

Tranny with under water seal and tub bearing kit.

Happens to us as well

Where are the brake splines, on the base of the transmission where the pulley attaches?

Bottom of the tranny has wide splines that mate or match the spline inside the brake....these must be greased so the brake can move up and down.
