Purrs like a kitten Success! Our 1987 Maytag washer 506 works like a charm now. After replacing the tub seal and bearing ( stem and boot ), the injector, two belts and the motor springs, I think ultimately the knocking during spin was caused from the loosening of one of the tub springs by at...

Yes Good Shepherd, bonehead mistake, I placed the lock collar on top of the outer tub before placing the spin tub in and that does not work.🤨 It needs to go on the inside of the spin tub. Good news though, I fixed the knocking sound, one of the tub spring bolts had loosened itself by 1/4 inch...

tub seal I am having difficulty getting the locking nut to thread on the inner tub. I noticed that on the new seal it has a rubber seal whereas the old seal does not. See picture. I cannot get the seal to go down far enough . When I tighten the set screw it bites into threads above the grove...

Well, that is good to know, thanks combo52! I used the new and improved tub bearing.The picture is of the old tub bearing. So after I put washer back together with the spring and new style bearing it leaked. I noticed water on the floor of the washer. The spring was probably the culprit.

qsd-dan, Can you explain what you mean: "Just drop the tub in and tighten the nut. They also fail to mention that tightening the nut has a tendency to throw the inner tub off center" Do you mean not to over tighten the nut? Yes, I will replace the tub seal. I am waiting for parts to arrive...

Thank you for your replies. I believe the inner tub is not properly centered between the outer tub. In the video the noise goes away when I center the tub with both hands.The load has two wet towels. I wonder what caused the tub to go out of round? Previously, the tub cover and inner tub had...

Here is a clip of the noise.

You need to slow down, stop throwing parts at it and isolate Yes, I think the belt residue is likely from the tub cover being on top of the spin tub too tightly. I will check whether the the inner wash basket tub is centered. Fortunately, I have the time and the basement is a cool place to...

Thank you qsd-dan and RP2813. The washer does spin now! Yes, the tub cover was all the way down on the inner tub preventing it from spinning. I raised the tub cover and now the tub spins. Although, with no load and after about 15 seconds of spin the knocking returns and the agitator goes bit...

Sannazay, would you elaborate, "Maybe it's an issue with a spring or other stabilizing component?" Thank you

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I'm discovering that bearing replacement is a precise operation. I will be taking apart the washer again. I started with a small knocking when the washer was in spin and after replacing the spin bearing I ended with the same knocking plus water leaking, perhaps...

Hi, Our A506 Maytag was making a knocking noise during the spin cycle. So I replaced the tub bearing and bushing. Now it will not spin and I noticed water leaking. From what I could see the damper pads look to be in good condition, I have greased them through the years. I figured the tub bearing...

Maytag gas stove CRG 305 Hi, I have a Maytag gas stove, CRG 305 purchased in 1990. I am looking parts for it such as new knobs and possibly new burners. Any helpful ideas where to purchase these? Thank you

Yes, goodshepherd, you're right on. It was the lug stop setting. I'm sure the damper pads are worn but I didn't see them. I wanted to add oil to the helical transmission but didn't see where to add oil. I did replace 2 bearings and lubed everything I could. Thanks again.

I think I fixed it! I had the stop lock key on the transmission pulley- off of where it should have gone. Initially, I tried tightening the brake assembly, it was tight. When I removed the pulley I noticed the stop lock key was funny looking. I repositioned the key and now the washer works like...
