Maytag Washer; Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (MAV6451AWW)

A Maytag washer in Canton wasn’t spinning properly, though water and drain functions worked normally. The customer suspected it had gone off center. Our diagnosis revealed worn thrust bearings and a faulty drive belt causing the spin cycle failure.

The Problem

Upon inspection of the Maytag MAV6451AWW, we found the thrust bearing assembly had worn out, allowing the drum to shift position during the spin cycle. The drive belt also showed signs of wear and needed replacement to restore proper operation.
