So, as it turns out, I ended up keeping it, and... The noise is not coming from the bearing. After I removed the belt, I noticed the noise was coming from the motor. It still moves freely, and sounds normal during any other cycle, but once it reaches high speed spin, the noise is quite loud...

@Lorrainfurniture Thank you, that video is very informative. If he had refunded me the money and let me keep the machine I would have probably done the repairs, but I'm not all that fond of the design in the first place. Besides, I already have a Kenmore HE5T front loader that holds much more...

Nevermind The seller called me back and is going to come pick up the washer tomorrow and refund me the $150. Last time I buy a used appliance. Every time its something. And they always describe them as ''works excellent'' or something along those lines. Not even one of my norgetags was in...

I recently had delivered a 2002 Maytag Neptune MAH6500 on Kijiji (Canadian eBay/Craigslist) for $150 that was described as ''excellent working condition''. I hooked it up and turned it on to find out the door boot seal had several spots that were torn and leaking like a siv, and, the tub bearing...

Thank you! @yogitunes- The link you posted answered most of my questions and more. It seems whoever wrote the article knows what they are talking about. I have read a few articles about this and most of them are either blogs or mixed opinions. I suppose it depends on the brand as well. Tide I...

Hello all. I was wondering how long liquid detergents are usable before they expire. Is there a such? I know softener turns into gel after not being used after a few years, but I have quite a few bottles of non-he liquid Tide that I stocked up on before they changed the scent approximately 3...

You should let it cool off I always let my washers cool off for at least an hour after a large load of wash. The motor and the transmission need time to cool down to prevent these issues. Thats probably the reason your Maytag Legacy broke after only 4 years. I have a 2003 Atlantis which is...

Lots of good advice! I think I will try the Affresh and then go from there. Lots of great options here, I'm sure I will find one I favor more than others. The reason the machines get dirty is because I am washing some very heavily soiled items and I suppose the dirt just builds up, even using...

I just started using Tide washing machine cleaner about a month ago, because my Maytag Atlantis was starting to get gunked up with softener residue in the dispenser and the agitator. Also, my Kenmore HE5T was starting to get a moldy odor which I'm told is normal with these machines. When I...

Hello all, I know I don't post very often but thought I'd share with you some general info, and of my likes and dislikes about my two machines, now that I've had time to get used to using a front loader and can see the advantages and disadvantages. The Maytag set- (2003 Atlantis washer, 2004...

I was wondering how well these work and if they are really worth the price. In my area they are about the same price as a basic full-size dishwasher but I am working with very limited space at the moment and HATE doing dishes by hand going from using a dishwasher all of my life up until...

I recently acquired a very rare washer sold for a brief period in Canada in 2002. It is most popular in Australia, Mexico and other countries but I'm hoping someone has some knowledge on why this problem might be occuring. When I first got the machine it had a pretty bad leak, which turned out...

I think the seal would be fine as long as the screw is able to go on tightly. I think the MAV9501EWW energy star Atlantis is the only model released after the MAV9750. Either way they were both sold around the same time.

Glad you figured it out! I would try some plumbers epoxy putty. Thats what most people use to patch holes or cracks in washing machine drums. I'm not sure about the bearing. I would leave it for a few day and make sure its still ok.

Hmmm I would definitely try to find a replacement isolator gasket. That could be the issue. Although that is just a theory. I'm not sure exactly what difference it would make if this seal wasn't there. I wouldn't think much as long as the other one is there on top of the hub. Perhaps the new...

The only other thing I can think of would be that the seal that sits on top of the hub molded onto the stainless steel drum somehow went bad, or you installed a seal on the hub when it wasn't needed. Atlantis washers have a seal already in place on the inner tub but Performa models do not have...

The outer tub I meant to say.

Silicone may stop the leak on the outside but it still might be leaking into the transmission/bearing etc. If its leaking out of the bottom it is most likely in the bearing by now. This will give a loud roar on the spin cycle if it goes bad. I would recommend replacing the bearing/seal kit...

The only thing that I can think of is that the bolts might be stripped out. I would not continue using it until you resolve the problem as water could end up making its way into the transmission if one of the seals is broken. I agree that it sounds like a tub seal problem. Maybe it somehow...

The model you have already has the dual drive transmission, so you can disregard the high torque thing.
