Washing Machine Question
Ours (17 year old Maytag) is starting to rock like crazy. Adjusting the feet doesn't seem to help. Does this mean bearings are shot or something?
Is this a DIY? Are there really Maytag repairmen or should we just shop for the next one? |

Could be worn damper springs,loose counterweight or worn or broken plastic balance pulleys.Took off the back yet?
You can probably find all the info you'll need to repair it online.

17 years I am impressed, however, Maytag as of late makes a lousy oven....

If you have a product made by Maytag that has worked for 17 years, consider yourself lucky. Do yourself a favor, though. Don't buy anything else made by them. I bought a stove and a refrigerator made by Maytag and they were both pieces of crap.

Yes, in a prior life, I was one.

Amen. They used to make a quality product but have sold out and now make junk with a good name stuck on the front.

I'd like to preserve the washing machine if possible. It does a good job of washing clothes, but it's making a hell of a banging noise on the tile floors. Thanks for all of your comments. |

I've seen this many times in recent years. They buy a company, suck it dry of assetts, and then just walk away from the dead husk of a company. Pretty short-sighted approach to business.

But we have a former Maytag Repairman here! And sorry I have to ask... Is there a website in which we can download repair manuals? I have a Maytag Washer (LAT9800AAW) and Dryer (LDG8600AAW) that are about 10 years old. The washer is sounding rough and the dryer seems to be taking longer to dry clothes on the auto setting.
