Maytag Washer Repair – Carrollton, OH (Centennial)

A Maytag Centennial washer in Carrollton, OH stopped working completely when the drum wouldn’t spin or wash. Our diagnosis revealed that the bearings had failed in the washing machine, making repair uneconomical for this older unit.

The Problem

The customer reported that the drum won’t spin or wash. The washer had become completely non-functional, unable to perform its basic washing and spin cycles.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found that bearings have failed in the washing machine. Failed bearings in a Maytag Centennial typically create excessive noise during operation and eventually prevent the drum from spinning properly, leading to complete wash cycle failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None – bearings not economically repairable
• Work performed: Sold customer a used replacement unit for $150
• Result: Customer received a functional washing machine at a fraction of new cost

Is It Worth Repairing?

Bearing replacement on a Maytag Centennial washer typically requires extensive disassembly and can cost more than the machine is worth. For an older unit like this, a quality used replacement often provides better value and reliability than expensive bearing repair work.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Don’t overload the drum – excess weight accelerates bearing wear
• Use high-efficiency detergent to reduce suds that can damage seals
• Run monthly cleaning cycles with washer cleaner to prevent buildup
