A Maytag washer on Hillcrest Ave NW in North Canton wasn’t spinning and made a growling noise before quitting with a flashing lock button. We found the hub had stripped out completely, preventing the wash basket from engaging properly during the spin cycle.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer doesn’t want to spin. Makes a growling noise then quits and the lock button flashes.
Diagnosis
Hub stripped. When the plastic hub that connects the wash basket to the drive system strips out, the basket can’t engage properly. The growling noise was the motor trying to spin the basket without a solid connection, and the control board detected this failure and stopped the cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10324651 — HUB
- Work performed: Replaced hub
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Maytag model mvwp575gw1 is a solid top-load washer, and a stripped hub is a common wear item that’s worth fixing. The hub replacement restores full function and typically provides years of additional service life.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Avoid overloading — excess weight puts extra stress on the hub and drive components
- Balance loads evenly around the wash basket to prevent excessive vibration
- Use the correct wash cycle for load size to prevent unnecessary strain on mechanical parts
