FOLLOW UP!!!..if you're even still out there 😊. Took a bit for parts to come in then had to wait for friend to return my socket set🤷♀️ but got machine outside, lay it on it's back and first thing I saw under the cover was a 🐁...😒🤢💀of course, that couldn't have been pleasant for it..none the less for me. Got it out & cleaned up the crime scene. Belt looked fine so with considerable sweat 🥵💦 (cause it's July in Texas) & a few colorful metaphors put it back on. Got it back inside, hooked all back up doing 😂a test load as I type... so far so good 👍. Thanks again for the share saved me 💰 & stress. If the belt or clutch do go out at least I have parts & a little experience under my hat. You are my hero❤
Well, come'n at ya from the future.. this looks exactly like my machine. Thanks for the tutorial & the link. I was having a hard time finding the parts. 👵63 and the only honey-to-do..🤞wish me luck❤
Thanks man, my wife thinks I know what I'm doing thanks to you 🍻
Hello again. I commented a few days ago. I changed out the clutch on my 2016 Maytag HE. Cost me around $50. Clutch was fine, teeth and everything in good shape. Symptoms were washplate spinning freely and making a very loud winding/howling sound at beginning of spin cycles. Found vids on YT about basket hub. Picked one up for $30. That was the fix! And it was easy. Washer running great now, has new (and spare) clutch (was unreturnable) and new basket hub and horseshoe clip. Got $80 or so into it, only $30 was necessary, but beats buying a new washer. And if we get a new one in the future, someone will have a pretty good used one. Running great and now agitating and spinning perfectly. Clothes cleaner and not very wet at end of wash. Happy! Hope others see this and diagnose and fix this problem easily. Take care and best wishes.
How did you gain access to the hub? I can’t seem to remove the agitator plate after removing the bolt holding it on.
@@norfolknwhey4787 As I remember the agitator was held on by that one center bolt only. I ended up replacingnnthe washer about a month ago when the bearing went bad. Still works but very loud on spin cycle, like a jet engine. Was told bearing is in the transmission on my model and would have to replace that at a large expense so I figured better to get a new one. You may have to use a little elbow grease to remove the agitator. If it doesn't budge maybe use some kind of (non-clothes damaging) penetrating mix. I have the old machine in the barn and can go take a look if necessary, but I seem to remember the agitator coming off after removing that one bolt. The rest was pretty simple. Let me know if you still have a problem and I will go out and disassemble it again to check it out.
@@Wugawamp thanks for you response. I’ve tried everything from hot water, to break free, and it’s stuck. The videos I watch show it being somewhat difficult to remove, but this thing is impossible! I’m now wondering what problem mine has… it works fine, but when it kicks on to spin the basket it makes a terrible loud noise. Zero noise when I spin the basket, but when the motor engages it’s loud. I’m hoping it’s the drive mechanism and not the bearing.
@@norfolknwhey4787 My agitator was spinning too freely and making a whooping kind of noise. The clothes were dripping wet after spinning. When I replaced the basket hub it fixed that. A few months later the thing sounded like a jet engine while spinning, like a definite worn bearing. Didn't even bother because the bearing on that machine required a tranny change out. Your bearing might be a lot easier dependin on the model. Just going by what the parts dealer told me. When I get a minute I will disassemble the agitator out in the barn to see if there was something else holding it on.
@@Wugawamp uh oh… mine makes the sound when it begins the spin cycle. I hope it’s not the bearing.
Excellent. I think you just helped me solve my problem. Much thanks!
Thanks alot for the video and the link to the parts😌 I'll be fighting with my washer soon😂
I know it's a pain. But better than buying a new one. 😬
I like the idea of laying it down on the two-wheeler. Mine had a mouse nest inside the steel cover. When i removed the clutch actuator assembly, i could see it. Pretty sure the drum speed sensor is part of the actuator assenbly. I figured the nest material was interfering with the sensor. Cleaned it out with a hook and shop vac. Not the problem. New clutch will be here today. Hopfully, that cures the no rinse or spin condition. Agitator hub is ok, the splines are not stripped. Thanks for the video!
Great video. Thanks for the advice. Chaned mine out in just about the same amount of time it took you yours. One thing that I tried that seemed to work for me and might work for other people is when you're trying to put the belt back on, put your ratchet back on the bolt and use the ratchet handle to spin the pulley. That might help with a little bit more leverage to get it to spin a little bit easier. Thanks again for the video.
Sounds like it would be. Thank you...
Great video. 🎉 I'm shocked 😲 all these new units are plastic on the most stressful part of the machine geesh. It's all 3D print stuff 😅
Maytag charges $78 w/o the belt. Thanks for the link!
You are very welcome.
Appreciate the repair video. I have this same washer and cannot say I like it. It's been a very finicky machine. I will probably NOT buy a Maytag product again after this. Should've just bought the SpeedQueen.
Yeah really disappointed in maytag.
I own the same washer and right now have the same problem. How do i know? Because your verbal description of the noise it makes is spot on, lol.. I'm going to buy the kit and fix it myself. Thanks for the video!
there should be a link in the description for the clutch and belt.. it could be just the belt but the clutch will wear out soon as people have discovered.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll get back with you at a later time, after I try to fix it. Best regards.
My washer is making a grinding noise when it’s suppose to be agitating. Belt and teeth all look fine, but now I can’t get the teeth to line up and reconnect. Any help? Great vid btw
Mine is putting off a burning/gasoline smell and from what I’ve googled it could be the belt issue. Could it be the clutch also or probably belt?
hitting your knuckles on the handcart couldnt have felt good! tehehehe i did the same damn thing when i was taking mine apart! I wasnt making a video so i was able ot cuss about it! tehehehe good stuff here bro it helped me a ton! thanks and i hope your knuckles healed up ok?
I tried not to react . But yes inside I was screaming the F word. LOL.
@@TheNoobsReviews It dosnt help rubbing it on your pant leg either i tried that 1st! LOL thank bro it was a very helpful video and i was able ot fix mine for about 12bucks!
Mine spins but doesnt agitate. The shift actuator broke & i replaced it & broke again. Do i need to replace the clutch & belt? I replaced the hub already it wasnt a problem with that.
Thank you. I have had a Bravo in my basement for a year now. It hasn't worked. Today I got my tools out and said, IT IS TIME! I'm not spending a bunch of money on a new washer. Can you please post a link to the parts?
I have a link in the bottom of my page. Good luck sir.
How can I tell if it is the clutch or the transmission causing the "no spin"
Are you supposed to lube or grease the clutch?
How would I fix it not filling with more than 5 inches of water
Can a bad clutch cause a hard clunking or thunking as spin mode is trying to engage? Does it a couple times then stops. Spin mode doesn’t seem to work. Thanks
Sound more like a bearing going out but the clutch could cause it.
can you show us what was potentially wrong with the old one, it did not look worn, nor did the belt???
On that one it was not the belt. It was the clutch. But if you buy the clutch assembly you get the belt.
What does it mean when I’m tightening it up but the drive pulley is a spinning with it?
I think that is what happen tightening mine. I just held pully in place.
Does this fixes the issue with the impeller not spinning. The tub spins just not the middle thing (impeller) the clothes comes out dirty
yes. That should fix it unless there is a bearing out on the motor. But that don't happen often I am told.
Good luck.
Did this help your impeller spin?
I have the same model. When plug in, I hear the motor trying to spin but the basket doesn't move at all. Is this the same problem you're describing?
I would assume it is either broke its belt or the belt has slipped off it's a pretty easy fix.
@@TheNoobsReviews I bought the kit that you referenced, is that enough? But lights on my unit is also not coming on at all.
I had the same problem too and the power on/off light is off too.
I can hear the noise coming from beneath your basket, that plastic splines are stripped
was yours not spinning out all the water? thats what mine is doing now.
Yes. It was not. Cloths were still soaked after spinning. Would have to spin it 3 times.
@@TheNoobsReviews man i hate to keep bugging but did you buy a factory replacement? ive noticed they are waaaay higher through maytag than on ebay but i cant tell just by the picture if it will work on mine.
@@dudeparistx I used the may tag part number but the parts on amazon link below are after market.
mine was doing the same thing. anfter i fixed it. Then i had ot take apart the water pump and it was cliggd with hair. I was lucky that only cost me time. But there is quite a few videos on the different models/brands all over YT so im sure everyone can figure it out. Then you know for sure if the water pump is bad or the "guy" just wants to charge you to put your cleaned one back in for a new one! lol had it happen to a friend!
Well...changed the parts in the video...then the machine puked its transmission in the floor. New machine.
Anyone have an issue with machine not comping out of spin cycle after replacing your splutch and belt. I’m at loss and can’t figure it out. I ran a test load and other then some squeaking from belt here or there it was going great until it started repeating the rinse and spin cycle.
I can fixed in 5 minutes.....why 15 🎃
Because I am old. LOL
I’m 60 How old are you
