Fixed but with questions please. 1. The locking lug is at the 6 o'clock position when the pulley is turned clockwise all the way to top where it can no longer move the pulley wheel. Is this correct ? (it is mentioned by someone the 6 o'clock position on the message board) 2. When the pulley...

She's back in service !

One other question Could it be possible that this pulley coming off do any damage to the motor? I know that the motor reverses one way to agitate and one to spin. I don't think I had the stop lug and drive lug set properly, but when I tested it it filled , spins, drains, but during wash cycle...

Well I tried! I tried to get the pulley back on but couldn't. He's coming back out to put it on. 90 day warranty on his work. Is the Phillip's head screw a short screw or long. The screw disappeared. The washer was under little black cap broke in half but the screw wasn't there. Oh well...

This explains everything The maytag tech I had took this off to look at the brake stop. He lubricated it. Right after he left the knocking started. This is what the link said would happen. So all my issues started with his house all. If I knew how easy the belts were to change I would...

Dave is this the stop luge?

Kenmore 71 Is what I'm seeing in the picture from the diagram number 33 the part I am showing in my picture? There wasn't any bolt under the little black plastic cap. Just what looks like half of the washer and the other piece . So if I put the cap back on it's really not holding anything in...

Kenmore71 No, when I pulled the little black cap off that I'm showing that's what was under half of the washer and the other part. It must have been that way for a while. So strange that would be like that.

I put the part back on and attached the belts but Now! The washer will not agitate . During the wash cycle it spins with the water in it asides the rinse cycle. It will spin and fill and drain. Did I do something wrong that it won't agitate? This is crazy! Thanks

This is the part that came off The pully. I put it back on and it seems secure, but every time I run it it falls off. Kevin said there's a black cap to remove and adjust the nut. I will post a picture of the screws, but it seems part is broken off.

I took the front panel off and can't really notice anyth But when I try to turn the tub manually it will not move. Is that indicative to any certain issue. It will fill, Drain, but not agitate, spin, or the tub will not turn manually. Thanks again.

I've recently acquired a Maytag 806 circa 1979. I've been a little concerned about clanking sound it's been making, but a few club members said it should be fine despite the noises. Well tonight I was washing sheets and during the final drain the washer made the most horrible sound I could hear...

Thanks Ben! That's just the scenario I was hoping to hear. This machine had very little use since It was in a vacation home. The house was then closed up for 5 years and put in storage for 2 more years during a remodel before being sold. They do everything else they are supposed to do with...

I should add I'm holding the outer tub with my index finger right where the serial number is. When I do the knocking sound stops during agitation. The noise doesn't happen when the washer is washing without clothes or on light loads. So I'm not actually holding the tub, but the outer tub.

I've ben trying to pinpoint the noise coming from my Maytag A806. It is is knocking sound and happens on Large loads or heavy loads such as towels during agitation. When I hold the tub with my index finger the noise goes away . So it definitely is something knocking together or maybe a belt...

What would be the fix for a worn tub bearing It's just strange that it started right after he fixed the other problem. Is there another way I can test the tub bearing. As I said it seems more noticeable the sound on heavier loads. I'm also curious could something have been clogged the reason...

continued Kevin: No, I am happy about the lint. Something I knew wasn't right before. I've used these machines and you always get a little lint depending on what your washing. I never got lint in the filter until he came out. So I'm very happy about that. He was a very nice guy and really...

Anyone want to speculate what the problem might be? Just trying to figure if these noises should be addressed.

A couple more questions Well I had a very nice repairman that still work on the Maytag A806. He lubricated the machine and it no longer make the thud at the end of the spin. He changed the belts, but now there is a metal on metal sound like the tub is hitting the tub surroundings at the...

Thanks Kevin. You know from meeting me I'm slightly OCD!lol! Okay we will work on leveling it in this slanted old Spanish house! The thud (very slight). Is not at the first spin stop, Just at the final damp dry cycle end. So maybe it is me. I will video a cycle end. Thanks again !
