Maytag Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (MAV5000AWW)

A Maytag washer in North Canton wasn’t spinning during the spin cycle. When we arrived at the Aylesbury Street location, we discovered the bearings were going out on both the tub and transmission, requiring complete disassembly that would have destroyed the spin basket.

The Problem

The customer reported their Maytag washer won’t spin during spin cycle. This left clothes soaking wet after wash cycles completed.

Diagnosis

During inspection, we found the bearings were going out on tub and transmission. The bearing failure was extensive enough that we were unable to disassemble the machine without destroying the spin basket.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None – repair not feasible
• Work performed: Complete diagnosis and assessment
• Result: Machine could not be repaired without destroying components

Is It Worth Repairing?

When bearing failure reaches this stage in a Maytag top-load washer, especially on an older model like the MAV5000AWW, replacement typically makes more financial sense. The extensive disassembly required often exceeds the machine’s remaining value.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Keep loads balanced to prevent excessive bearing wear from vibration
• Don’t overload the tub – Maytag top-loaders perform best at 2/3 capacity
• Address unusual noises early before bearing damage becomes irreversible
