The Problem

The customer reported their Maytag washer was becoming unbalanced too easily and making noise during spin cycle. These symptoms typically indicate internal mechanical issues with the wash basket assembly.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the wash tub loose on shaft. This is a significant structural failure that affects the washer’s ability to maintain proper balance during the spin cycle, causing the excessive noise and vibration the customer experienced.
