A Maytag washer in New Philadelphia was making a loud roaring sound during the spin cycle only, while otherwise working normally. The customer reported this had been happening for some time. Our diagnosis revealed failed transmission and spin basket hub components that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer contacted us about their Maytag washer making a loud roaring sound in the spin cycle only. It otherwise worked normally, but this issue had been going on for some time.
Diagnosis
The loud roaring noise during spin cycle pointed to internal drive components. Upon inspection, we found the transmission and spin basket hub had failed, causing the excessive noise during the high-speed spin operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W11454372 — Gearcase, W10528947 — Hub
- Work performed: Replaced the transmission and spin basket hub
- Result: Issue is resolved
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag washers are generally built to last, and the MVWX700XL2 is a solid top-load model. Transmission replacement is a major repair, but if the washer is otherwise in good condition and under 10-12 years old, it’s typically worth fixing rather than replacing the entire unit.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Don’t overload the washer — this puts extra strain on the transmission and drive components
- Use the appropriate water level for your load size to prevent unbalanced loads
- Clean the lint filter regularly if your model has one to maintain proper drainage
