A Maytag washer in Carrollton, OH wasn’t draining properly, leaving clothes soaked at the end of cycles. During our inspection, we discovered the transmission splines were worn, which caused the hub to strip.
The Problem
The customer reported that clothes are soaked when done. The washer was not draining the water out when it finished its cycle.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found that the transmission splines were wore which caused the hub to strip. This prevented the washer from properly agitating and spinning out water during the drain cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — repair deemed uneconomical
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of transmission and hub assembly
- Result: Total cost of repair would have been more than a new washer
Is It Worth Repairing?
When the transmission fails on a Maytag top-load washer, replacement costs typically exceed the value of purchasing a new unit. The transmission is one of the most expensive components, and labor-intensive to replace. In this case, we recommended replacement over repair.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Avoid overloading your washer — excess weight strains the transmission and drive components
- Use HE detergent in proper amounts to prevent excessive suds that can damage seals
- Run monthly cleaning cycles with washer cleaner to prevent buildup that affects mechanical parts
