What was so bad about the wax motors Everyone on here always says make sure it doesn't have the wax motor when someone gets a Neptune washer, why? whats so bad about the wax motor?

My washer Is a norgetag (Maytag Ensignia). How would you hook up a secondary pump? This washer has a belt driven pump too so im not sure if it would be possible to hook up an electric pump.

Just so all of you know I tried as many ways as I could think of to rig one up on the washer before coming here and asking this (And don't laugh!) but...I have an old fish tank filter that I was looking at to see if it was worth selling yesterday and it got me thinking, is it possible to rig up...

That may have been me... To be honest it worked very well (at cleaning that is).The only thing I REALLY liked about it was the shiny stainless steel tub. It was very noisy on the spin cycle, had a slow pump and there was lots of splashing going on during the wash cycle which got annoying when...

As I said It seems to be coming from the tub somewhere...is it possible that there is a crack in the tub? When I checked it I turned it on, it sounded like water was filling from somewhere but I couldn't see any water running out of a fill spout or anything. It did sound to me like the water...

It was made in January of 1994

Thats what i was guessing,.. Its just so new, i wouldn't expect a tub seal to go after less than 2 years of use. It was always kept in a pretty cool area in a basement closet so I can't see why it would have started leaking. She never said anything about bubbles and I didn't see any but that's...

I have a friend who's Kenmore portable washer is leaking. I think its the one everyone calls the ''Whirlpool World'' washer. Anyway I took a look at it and it seems like it is coming from the tub somewhere but im not sure. As soon as you turn it on the water starts running out of somewhere so...

And the noise level you mention... Doesn't seem normal. Mine is whisper quiet most of the time, i mean sure you can hear it running but its not loud and doesn't have a squeaking brake by any means. The pump out rate is very fast though, even though mine has the newer redesigned pump version...

I have one similar Mine is a Maytag ''Ensignia'' model MAV2757AWW and I am currently in the process of repairing the transmission and will be sure to post pictures of the whole process after I am done! I have been meaning to ask some of the members on this forum, how do you get rid of rust...

I recently ordered a new transmission for my norgetag washer and it came with a new bearing and seal kit. My question is, are you supposed to lubricate the bearings with something before they are installed? here is a picture. It just seems to me like there should be grease in between them if you...

How ineffective looking So they are going from poor cleaning and dingy whites in their regular belt drives to soaking action that won't do anything unless the machine was severely overloaded then it MIGHT clean the clothes at the bottom of the basket. Obviously the agitator is meant to just...

I have decided to repair the transmission on my Maytag herrin washer as it is now grinding during the agitate cycle. While I am repairing it I am going to try and resolve a few other issues with the washer. The most ANNOYING problem it has is that when it reaches full spin speed it makes such a...

These are famous for bearing failures I have seen a few fail within less than a year of purchase, they may clean good...but not for long! Maybe the bearing is redesigned on this model but I doubt it.

The black dust Is coming out around the bottom of the motor like black lint and it was very hard to wash off my hands, like soot from a wood stove.

I got the motor out of the washer...now what? Not sure that i know how to open the motor up to do this, don't want to break it! this is a picture of the motor- Maytag model 21001950.

When my washer starts and stops it makes a squeaking metallic noise and seems to be a little loud while running and i think it may need lubricating. How would i lubricate it and what lubricant would i use? I can see carbon dust coating the motor pulley so I know this must be a problem with the...

Our 2 year old Kenmore dishwasher just broke and even though i suspect it might just be the pump i have no interest in replacing it as i have always hated it and it was only $299 new. I am looking for a reliable dishwasher that cleans well and i know that's allot to ask for with today's energy...

I don't see why so many people love direct drive washers. Could someone please explain the liking of these machines? Personally I think they're great for commercial washers but I would never have one in my house. My reasoning for not liking them is because of the neutral drain, loud thumping...

Not to be the bearer of bad news but.. Often when the tub seal and bearings begin failing it will allow water to leak into the transmission which makes the transmission lock up. I have seen this happen many times in Maytag/Amana searcy washers and i suppose it could happen to other washing...
