upside down bearing Removed the drive pulley and saw the bearing that sits on the drive pulley was upside down. When I had cleaned the drive shaft/pulley/bearing and re-installed, I completely missed that I put the bearing the wrong way. Added a bit more grease to shaft and bearing and put it...

@repair-man I got this washer back in March. I did notice around that time that it was coasting to a stop. I asked here and and a member said when the lid is opened during spin it should stop pretty quick. The stop action did get a lot better with more use. Thought that the coasting was due to...

correct previous post In describing the test run I did this morning, It should that the spin tub and agitator spun clockwise during rinse, instead of "counter" clockwise.

@combo52 Yes, the timer was in the wash mode. I'd been monitoring the water fill and it stops at the set water level for both the wash and rinse. What the washer did yesterday, it filled for the wash but instead of going into agitation mode, the spin tub and agitator spun clockwise causing...

caught the washer in the act Caught the washer today just as it started spilling water over the tub ring. It filled for the wash but instead of agitating, the tub was spinning. The spin caused the tub water to spill over. Since the last flood, I'd done a bunch of wash loads with no problem...

inlet valve @combo52 Hadn't thought of the inlet valve sticking and causing an overflow. No children so the front panel is staying off. Springs: the springs I asked about are the 3 large springs that extend from the outer tub to the base.

Water level: I don't normally do a mixed load with jeans. It's usually a full load of like weight items--all jeans, all shirts, etc. I used the large (high) thinking the weight of the jeans needed it. Would a setting between medium and large be more appropriate for this type/size of mixed...

Yesterday I found the washer sitting in a big puddle/sizable amt. of water after a wash load. This is the second time. The washer was set on high water level and the load was 2 jeans, 3 shirts, 3 pairs of socks. As before, I removed the front panel and the inside of the cabinet was wet...

spring washer scouring the bulkhead. When I cleaned the roller shafts, I did see that there is some light circular scouring on the bulkhead.

Not sure if I am placing this thread in the right forum or If it should go in the other forum (< 20 yrs). My Maytag dryer is Mod.# LDE9806ACE and by the serial no. 1996. It's had one repair that I can remember, replacing a broken belt and at that time I asked the tech. to clean and do a...

Question on pump pulley How easily should the pump pulley spin/rotate?

@tinkr Thank you for taking the time to check on the spin/brake function of your washer. I'm really liking the wash/agitate action of this Maytag.

coasting to stop @tinkr Would you please, please check if your washer also slows/coasts to a stop when the lid is raised during the spin cycle. Also if it starts filling for the rinse before the spin tub has completely stopped. @rp2813 After a few loads the spin tub quit the in-step...

rp2813, thanks for the tip Tracked down the nearest ACE hardware and called them up. Yes, they did have Zoom oil. Approx. 43 mi. round trip, purchased two bottles. The washer is up and washing, but since I am not familiar with this type of washer I am not sure if the washer is running right...

Hello again. After a few days of rest, I picked up the towel again. Finally got both tubs all cleaned and went on to clean and re-greased the motor glides. The transmission pulley was covered with greased on linty gunk that looked like cat fur. Removed the pulley and cleaned it. Does the...
