A Maytag Bravos MCT washer in Minerva, OH wasn’t spinning clothes out properly, leaving them dripping wet after cycles. We found the transmission hub on the basket had stripped out completely. Due to corrosion on the transmission shaft, this repair may be temporary.
The Problem
The customer reported that the washer doesn’t spin the clothes out and after the cycle they’re dripping wet. This is a classic sign of spin cycle failure in top-load washers.
Diagnosis
The transmission hub on the basket has stripped out. We also discovered corrosion on the transmission shaft, which likely contributed to the hub failure and suggests ongoing mechanical stress in the drive system.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10528947-HUB — transmission hub
- Work performed: Replaced the stripped transmission hub under warranty
- Result: Washer restored to proper spin cycle operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Given the corrosion on the transmission shaft, this hub will likely strip out again. The Maytag Bravos series had known transmission issues, and once corrosion sets in, it’s usually a matter of time before the next failure. It would be good to consider replacing the unit rather than continuing to repair the same underlying problem.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Bravos Washers
- Avoid overloading — the Bravos transmission is sensitive to excessive weight during spin cycles
- Use HE detergent only to prevent excess suds that can stress the drive components
- Run the clean washer cycle monthly to prevent buildup that can cause mechanical strain
