Well, I did it, all by my female self lol. My husband purchased the gear case(transmission) and wash plate and I did the repairs. Go me lol!! Thanks so much for your thorough tutorial. 😊 You sure saved us a lot of money for a repairman!
Please please help me do mine! Walk me through it on video chat, anything live that I mean, I'm so desperate to fix mine. It needs the gearcase replaced. I know I can do it & can get together all the tools I'll need. But my washer is a few years newer than the one in this video & I've been afraid to just start messing with it because of that. But it can't be much different. I can afford a new gearcase. Not a new $899 washer. Because that's I paid for it and that's what it still costs.
@@AlexandraNicholas-l4d My washer is a newer model as well but I promise you, if you follow that gentleman’s instructions, step by step as I did, you’ll be able to do it. I disassembled everything, made a note of EXACTLY where they go(screws are important) and sat them aside separately. My transmission shaft was stuck, but I sprayed lubricant and let it sit for a day. It was worth the while. I wish you much success 🤞🏽keep me posted.
@@MM-pt1uw the agitator was gone so I replaced it and there was an awful noise. I had to spray the shaft and let it sit overnight because it didn’t release like it appears to do in some videos that I’ve seen. Installing the new one wasn’t difficult at all. I did make sure that I marked areas for the sake of hooking it up properly.
Steve is the most professional repair guide I've come by. Honestly a enjoyably how to video every time. Thank you Steve. I hope you continue your informative videos.
Thanks a bunch! I was able to get the washer going again which made the wife happy. Cheaper than calling someone or buying new, which made me happy. I went ahead and replaced the splutch and belt while I was there. I ended up cutting down a pipe wrench as I live in the country and didn't even think about a spanner nut wrench being involved. I replaced the shocks as well too.
Thank you for the very clear video. I used a simpler way to get the old transmission to release from the basket without removing the top rim or the basket.. With the bottom mounting bolts of the transmission loose and backed out an inch, open the top door, remove the agitator cap, loosen the top agitator bolt unscrewing it about 1/2 to 3/4 inch so that it still has plenty of threads engaged. Then sharply strike straight down on the head of the top agitator bolt (I used my soft blow hammer, head straight down). Then that bold moves down, this means the old transmission is knocked out of the splines. Viola!
DUUUUUDE, I JUST came here to find if anyone had been able to replace the transmission without going through the whole top removal process...it didn't really seem necessary, and the video doesn't make that clear about WHY he's doing that. I'm going to try your trick first!
Thank you sir. Great video. I have the same Whirlpool model and was able to replace the gearcase by watching your video. I like the step by step for removing everything and also replacing everything. I see many do it yourself videos that skip over some of the most important things. Please don't ever delete this video. I'm sure I'll need it again as this is the second gearcase replaced on my washer.
Brilliant!!!! Absolutely the best repair video! Made a seemingly overwhelming repair easily understandable and not intimidating! I actually can’t wait to tackle this! THANKYOU!
This is not the type of project I enjoy doing, but with this video was able to get it done with a minimum of cursing. EXCELLENT video. Only two issues, one with the video (neglected to mention the spring when reinstalling the splutch assembly - figured it out though), and one with my washer (the retaining bolt holding the inner basket took me about 30 minutes to get off - almost couldn't). But my utmost thanks to Steve for posting this video. I'd leave you a tip, if I could!
Thank you so much for this! It was so easy to follow and worked perfectly! You do a fantastic job of explaining and the video is perfect. You can see all the essential elements easily. Thanks again!!
Thanks for this video. With it, in combination with a different video so I could get my agitator out... I was able to do the gearcase replacement this weekend! Thanks again!
Nice guide. But either plan to shim the drive gear with a 12mm washer or get a clutch kit. Otherwise the clutch teeth may drag on the drive gear when fully disengaged.
To remove the agitator just push a shoe string around it, so it goes under the agitator, while each end of the shoelace stays on top. Grab the shoe lace on both sides of the agitator and pull up. Easy peasy.
Heya Buddy! Uber thanks for this video. I have the exact same model. Quick question. Is the gearbox at fault, if, when it begins to spins there is a loud screeching noise?
I had the same problem....the gearbox splines were corroded and allowed slippage between it and the basket...but the basket hub required replacement as well. Its held in place with 6 screws under the agitator.
Does the gear case need to be removed if you are replacing bearings ? I can’t get the drum free even after removing the washer basket drive hub. There looks like there is another nut on the axle spindle looking thing. I used a scissor jack and a wood piece and the tub does not release. Tried penetration oil too.
Just out of curiosity can you replace the gear case with out removing the capacitor, belt and other stuff? Like just removing the bolts all around and pulling it out
Terrific video. My washer is 6 years old and it is a shame I'm going to have to take the ENTIRE machine apart to repair a constant oil leak (and the smell). I bought Maytag for its historic quality and MADE IN USA claim. Such a shame our relationship is heading in this direction. I'm calling the Warranty Hotline on Tuesday. Stay tuned. But again, TERRIFIC VIDEO.
Look at all those plastic parts just ready to fail in a short amount of time. Just like my 3yr 10mo old Maytag (Whirlpool) MVWB765FW that the Lowes EPP repair guy said with the transmission going south on because of cheaply made parts. This thing squeals like a stuck pig on wash cycle while the "agitator" is making its half turn....but it's fine on spin. Now to figure out what new piece of crap washer to buy after they send me a Lowes card for another one. Jeez
Typically they all mount flush to the tub, the seal around the shaft where it goes into the tub may not be sitting properly. You can lubricate the seal with a thin film of vaseline or dishwasher soap so it slides in easier
Anybody out there have an idea on how to stop the PLASTIC hub from stripping? My machine is only 2yrs old and the splines on the shaft look like 100. I was thinking about drilling a hole in the shaft for a pin. JB weld or epoxy the stupid thing on?
Seriously. I'm here now cause the gear for the wash plate is STUCK. I've let the thing soak in p oil for a week and still won't budge. Thought maybe I can pull the gear box out and bang it off... NOPE. The gear for the wash plate won't fit through the cutout in the basket. 5 year old washer completely locked up like bolt on a 20 year old car in the Midwest. My next attempt will involve a torch, if that doesn't work I'm onto cutting the gear on both sides with a hack saw. I'm trying to avoid cutting the drive shaft so I don't have to replace the transmission. I've taken hundreds of different appliances apart and work with cooking and dish appliances in a laboratory. I've come to the conclusion that design was made without service in mind. Probably saved them 5 cents a unit lmao.
the only way i ever been able to remove the tub is with a scissor jack and 4x4 in tub and use jack to life out out never has one came out that easy plus get 6/8=24 bolt 2 inches long screw in bottom to take tub all the way off
Inner basket that doesn’t look anything like a basket… especially how the holes are if you ever say a spin basket think of the older front load tubs those are the drums that look most like a basket…
@@XperiaVideosCR It is true that the video does not show the tech re-installing a new spring. Because it appears that the new transmission came already with a new spring pre-installed. And, if this is true, then the tech should of mentioned that small fact.
The gentleman professional's demeanor and tutorial is indicative of a saved born again pentecostal believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. - " For the Lord has prepared us for good works that we might do accordingly."- Ephesians 2:10 Cheers to all good and faithful servants.
17:39 skip this part… all this part does is cause issues and cause the belt to rub against the guard and make noise and make the motor work harder than usual… plus you would need to replace the splutch cam assembly and belt and maybe even the motor… so skip putting the guard in
Excellent video which was most helpful in completing my repair. I did follow the advice of @gregshay4961 and didn't remove the drum. Overall everything went well but had a little trouble when I didn't realize the drum needs to be pushed back down onto the spindle completely so that the washplate fits properly. Thanks!

What was the gearbox doing to make you change it? right now mine is making a loud noise when it starts to wash, Thinking its the transmission as well.

Whenever these guys say, ''It's a really easy repair.'' that involves removing the wash plate and tub, I know I have a 2 hour job ahead of me.
Very helpful and well done. Thank you Steve!
Had to use a scissor jack and a 2x4 to press the basin free from the spile, but otherwise, excellent and many thanks!!
Hes showing how easy it is notice that washer is brand new never been used wow trt that on one that has 10 yrs used i know
very nice video

This video was so helpful. I changed mine out with no problems!
This is an excelent repair video. Made a an difficult repair easy to do.
Great video. Once done, head to Lowe’s and buy a new one because nothing works now and my wife hates me. Lol!!!
Very simple repair; takes apart the entire machine and put it back together 😂💪
takes apart the entire machine and put it back together:) if you only replace the transmission. Plus it only cost $250 plus shipping.
Appreciate you, Steve!!
Great instructions. Thank you.
Hands down best video ever!!!
Thank you. I was able to fix my washer!!!!!

What's the best way to keep the inner basket clean? I just took mine out and scrubbed it to get off all the slime; while servicing of course.

Steeeeevvveeee!! you are MANNNNN!! thank for the video!! you helped me fixed it
Great video. Thank you.
How can I tell if it is the clutch or the transmission causing the "no spin"
Excellent. Thank you .
what are the symptoms of this washer for this repair?
what to do if the agitator will not come loose?
Excellent!!
My Maytag Washer MVWX655DW0 rattles mover about vigorously during the spin cycle. Is this an indication that I need to change the gearcase assembly?
Thank you Very mach
Thank you

Kills me to watch you put that filthy basket back into the filthy tub without so much as a wipedown. What a golden opportunity to deep clean it.

that transmission was in great shape take one out that the seal failed from fabric softener show all the filth involved stuck bolds ect
Muy buen video ING bien explicado felicidades
Mine barely agitates but everything else works fine thru the other cycles
Mine is clicking loud on agitation only...wonder if this is the fix
My four bolt 🔩 holes on the gear tranny don't sit flush with the plastic washer tub holes. The back ones are farther away. Is this normal?
Typically they all mount flush to the tub, the seal around the shaft where it goes into the tub may not be sitting properly. You can lubricate the seal with a thin film of vaseline or dishwasher soap so it slides in easier
Don't forget to run the calibration cycle afterwards.
How do you do a calibration cycle? Did this on a 2021 model and am now getting an error code
Anybody out there have an idea on how to stop the PLASTIC hub from stripping? My machine is only 2yrs old and the splines on the shaft look like 100. I was thinking about drilling a hole in the shaft for a pin. JB weld or epoxy the stupid thing on?
I am having trouble removing the washer plate after removing the agitator bolt.
Did you finally manage to get the plate off? It can be a real bear!
Clean washer try to move that washplate 2 years later after used lol
Seriously. I'm here now cause the gear for the wash plate is STUCK. I've let the thing soak in p oil for a week and still won't budge. Thought maybe I can pull the gear box out and bang it off...

@@trystanskaggs2Lmfao sounds like me working on a diesel truck up here in New England in February. Ugh gotta love it 😀. At least I'm not alone.
I ended up busting the agitator apart and buying a new one. $30 bucks but I couldn’t get it off either.
followed all instructions, when back together tub will not turn so shuts off
Calibration is needed
Removing the spin drum is not an extra step it is a required step
Agreed......kept tugging the gearbox :P.....got it all back together, now the tub wont spin freely.
Lean the washer against the wall
You didn't put it spring back.
Is anybody else having trouble taking the basket out ? I did everything on this video nothing works maybe there’s another way to do it ?
the only way i ever been able to remove the tub is with a scissor jack and 4x4 in tub and use jack to life out out never has one came out that easy plus get 6/8=24 bolt 2 inches long screw in bottom to take tub all the way off
good video. but the part costs half the amount of the washer.
Inner basket that doesn’t look anything like a basket… especially how the holes are if you ever say a spin basket think of the older front load tubs those are the drums that look most like a basket…
How about taking advantage of the fact that the tub was disassembled, give the internal part and the plastic tub a little clean at least
The drain has to line up on the FRONT left not the rear left…
“Just lift it off the spline” my ass
spring was missing back to its place
Ya estaba puesto, fíjese bien.
@@XperiaVideosCR It is true that the video does not show the tech re-installing a new spring. Because it appears that the new transmission came already with a new spring pre-installed. And, if this is true, then the tech should of mentioned that small fact.

Video explains process but you failed to explain how difficult removing the wash plate really is
I hate those new ones
Bill crap I don’t see a grinder
You did everything backwards, how did you take out the shaft first. Then outer basket, then go back and take the outer ring , do it Right
Not as ez as he said...
Bsntheres nothing easy everything seizes up all the crued it locks shit up water make rust i know
17:39 skip this part… all this part does is cause issues and cause the belt to rub against the guard and make noise and make the motor work harder than usual… plus you would need to replace the splutch cam assembly and belt and maybe even the motor… so skip putting the guard in
always pressure wash the tub and basket that filth will break loose and very mad customer if not
