Maytag Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (MAV3855AWW)

A North Canton homeowner called about their Maytag washer that wouldn’t spin or drain. When the washing machine got to the spin cycle, it wouldn’t do anything but make a humming noise, and the agitator wouldn’t spin either. We found a broken drive belt that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that when the washing machine gets to spin cycle it won’t do anything but make a humming noise. The agitator won’t spin, and water won’t drain from the tub.

Diagnosis

The drive belt had failed, preventing the transmission from engaging properly. Without the belt, the motor couldn’t transfer power to spin the drum or operate the agitator mechanism.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP21352320 — drive belt
• Work performed: Replaced belt
• Result: Tested — washer now spins and drains properly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This MAV3855AWW is a solid Maytag top-load washer from their reliable era. A drive belt replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full function. These machines typically run for many more years after belt service, making this repair worthwhile.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Check for belt wear during annual maintenance — frayed edges or stretching indicate replacement time
• Keep loads balanced to reduce stress on the drive system
• Clean the agitator regularly to prevent buildup that can strain mechanical components
