We diagnosed a Maytag washer in North Canton that wouldn’t continue through wash cycle. After inspecting the unit, we found the motor bearings had failed completely.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer won’t continue through wash cycle. The machine would start but fail to progress through the complete washing sequence.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed that motor bearings had failed. This type of failure typically causes the motor to struggle or stop entirely during operation, preventing the washer from completing its cycles properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of motor assembly
- Result: Customer is going to replace with new unit
Is It Worth Repairing?
Motor bearing failure on a Maytag top-load washer like this MVWX655DW1 is a significant repair that often involves replacing the entire motor assembly. Given the labor intensity and part costs involved, many customers choose replacement over repair when motor bearings fail completely.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Keep loads balanced to reduce strain on the motor and drive components
- Clean the washer drum monthly with Maytag’s recommended cleaning cycle
- Check and clean the drain pump filter regularly to prevent motor overwork
