Have you considered LG? Apparently they are the most reliable and best cleaning out there. Yes it’s not American made and yes it’s not as easy to get parts but if they don’t break down that is not nearly as much of an issue. Have many friends who have opted for LGs and have been absolutely...

Experience with both… The GE and Top lint filter Maytag Whirlpool designs. The Ge has lesser quality pets that wear out faster. I had too replace the plastic glides on my GE then after that the motor went bad getting louder and louder u til it was unbearably loud and that was inside its own...

Check… To make sure the hose to the water level switch is still connected and in tact. If so the water level fill switch may have simply gone bad altogether. Does it operate correctly at other levels? Jon

Similar issues I had a customer and she had same washer, similar issues…we tried replacing the gear parts for the agitator and that didn’t work…so she said let’s just get a new one. Age was about the same or slightly older. LG front load is only thing I can recommend of what’s out there today. Jon

I just saw An LG top loader with a traditional agitator in it! It was pretty reasonably priced. As far as reliability is concerned LG seems to be pretty good from a foreign brand perspective though if service is needed, there may be issues getting parts timely but likely would be a rare need...

So… I’ve checked several of the above earlier this year with the tub cover off. The machine spins beautifully with nothing in it so the inner tub likely isn’t out of balance. All of the springs are in tact and seem to be tight. The motor carriage may be a part of the culprit here. With the...

Definitely genuine belts I definitely bought genuine belts as this is the third machine I’ve replaced belts on and used the auto parts store belts on the first machine I replaced belts on way back in the late 80s and found out from the Maytag store that the genuine belts were required when I...

So my Mom has her Moms 1979 Maytag A608 washer and it’s at our summer vacation home so doesn’t get a lot of use except for 2-3 months out of the year. During the summer of 2020 and 2021 we noticed that if we wash a load of sheets and towels together the machine will often spin slowly and never...
