A Maytag top-load washer in East Canton wouldn’t agitate during wash cycles. The customer reported the machine would fill with water but the clothes weren’t moving around properly. Our diagnosis revealed worn components in the wash basket assembly that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer contacted us because their washer will not agitate. This top load Maytag washer was filling with water normally but failing to move clothes during the wash cycle.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the basket hub and wash plate had worn out, preventing proper agitation. These components work together to create the washing action that moves clothes through the water and detergent.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10902814 — Wash Plate, W10928947 — Hub
- Work performed: Replaced the basket hub and wash plate
- Result: Washer now agitates properly during all cycles
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag washers are built to last, and the Mvwx655dw0 is a solid top-load model. When the issue is limited to worn agitation components like this, repair is usually the smart financial choice. These washers often run for many more years after hub and wash plate replacement.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Don’t overload the basket — excess weight puts extra strain on the hub assembly
- Use HE detergent even in non-HE models to reduce excessive suds that can cause mechanical wear
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with washer cleaner to prevent buildup that can affect moving parts
