Hello,
I've really enjoyed your website for a few years now! I like Maytag items and I know this site focuses more on a few other makes but its very interesting still.
My question is this: I have a Maytag Jetclean dishwasher from about 1991, model WU104. It's in very good condition. The racks have no worn or rusted places and the tub has no rust or chipped porcelain. I've taken it apart and readjusted and cleaned it up. But recently a part has worn out that makes it unserviceable. This model had the motor directly under pump assembly not off to the side and linked to the pump with a belt. The rubber seal that kept water from leaking down around the pump shaft to the motor wore out and water started rusting and pitting the shaft ruining the seal. As far as I can tell the motor is good. All I need is the shaft and bearing assembly.
I've looked at diagrams and it looks like the entire motor will need to be replaced because the shaft and bearing assembly is the top part of the motor.
This won't come as a surprise to you and your members but I can't find a source of the motor alone. Everyone wants to sell me the entire motor pump sprayer arm assembly at almost $300.00. It's a good dishwasher but spending that kind of money on it would just be irresponsible. And I can't afford it either - lol.
Are you or any of your members aware of sources for this part or rebuilders that can be of assistance here?
Also, I have a Maytag LAT 970 4AAE and the clock dial needs rebuilding, refurbishing. Are you aware of any sources for this service. I could probably do this myself if I had good information so if you are aware of sources for manuals this would be helpful.
I really appreciate any assistance and keep up the work on a great site!
