A Maytag washer on 34th Street NW in Canton wasn’t washing or spinning and was making grinding noises during the wash cycle. Our diagnosis revealed major internal damage that made replacement the better choice.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer won’t wash or spin. It makes a grinding noise like gears are messed up when in the wash cycle.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the spin hub and transmission are shot. The grinding noise was coming from these failing internal components that are critical to the washer’s operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation
- Result: Customer is replacing the unit
Is It Worth Repairing?
When both the spin hub and transmission fail on a Maytag washer, replacement costs often exceed the machine’s value. These are major internal components, and the labor involved makes repair uneconomical on most residential washers of this age.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Don’t overload the tub — excess weight strains the transmission and drive components
- Balance loads properly to prevent excessive vibration that can damage the spin hub
- Use the correct amount of detergent to avoid buildup that can affect mechanical parts
