My circa 2000 Maytag Dependable Care top loader (model LAW9406AAE) burned up its belt last week. At first I thought the problem was a stuck brake but the brake appears to operate fine. I can rotate the drum if I spin the pulley all the way clockwise to disengage the brake, but it's not very easy to rotate. It's very easy to rotate in the counter clockwise direction and the agitator shaft moves back and forth as expected. Is this likely to be a bad tub bearing? I don't see any evidence that water got into the bottom of the machine or into the transmission. The lower transmission lip seal had failed at some point. I've already replaced that but when I opened the transmission the oil didn't look like any water had been mixed into it.
I'm pretty sure I will end up needing a mounting stem as well since mine looks corroded and I had to chisel off the tub nut. They seem hard to find these days but I found a source on Amazon. These look like they might be an aftermarket reproduction part, does anyone have any experience good or bad with them? The Amazon reviews are mixed but I don't place a ton of faith in them. I'd like to get this machine working again if I can reasonably get the parts I need.
Thanks!
