@@WasherDryerMoney hey I have amana washer it spin and drain but doesn’t wash the clothes

I just replaced the shift actuator on my machine. The agitation did not work after that. After a lot of troubleshooting I finally realized that I tightened the pulley nut so much that it was not disengaging the teeth from splutch. After determining this I reattached the pulley and more carefully tightened the nut. It works fine now. There is absolutely no information anywhere about this happening. I hope this helps someone.

Sounds like this might be the problem I am having. I replaced the entire washer drive pulley. Ran the Agitate Manual test and it still makes a grinding noise. Its as if the larger 4in. pully wheel is not disengaging from the smaller gear. How did you determine how much was too tight? Every video that I've seen, they tightened the nut all the way.

Your video was helpful in determining what problem I was having and how to fix it. Thank you for explaining what the parts are for and how they work. Your video is how I fixed my washer for $40 and 10 minutes of "work" instead of paying someone else to do it. Thank you again.

Thanks for the video, partner. My washer was making a grinding noise. Turns out, the Shift Actuator wasnt opening the Splutch up. When the washer wanted to agitate (which is a quick rotation motion from the motor), the whole washer barrel was still engaged, thus a grinding noise resulted. I replaced the Shifter and it works great. I refered this video on other washer troubleshooting videos regarding this same issue.

I want to thank you for showing a clear picture of the circle white part and how it goes together before it goes on. You're just about the only person that showed that and I appreciate you thank you. 😊

Thank you for your videos I like the way you explain how the parts work in the system. I especially liked the video about the "sealed" gear case where you drained the oil out and replaced it with grease. I've been working on machines for a few years now and don't know everything but that seems like a genius idea for a machine that is built to fail, generally on the expensive parts like the gear case. Making it impossible to just replace the bearings. I'm going to try your method of fixing mine, what do I stand to lose I can't break it more if it's already broke lol. Thanks again!

Wonderful video !!! Originally I got ripped off by the appliance repair guy from Sears who came over to check the washer . He ran a two minute self disagnoses and said it would cost over $600 for a new control board to repair so it wouldn't be worth fixing and gave me a 10% off coupon to buy a new one at Sears and charged me the $79 diagnoses fee . After watching a few of these videos I found out it was the actuator so I bought a new one for $25 , took ten minuts to install and now the machine works perfect. Sears pulled a total rip off scam to get you to buy a new one. I complained to consumer affairs but they said it's legal to scam and cheat consumers and they really don't so anything down there except collect their government pay.

I'm going to dig in my washer, and I will let you know the outcome, thanks again. 👍👍👍

Thanks for a great video! No other video I found had this problem and detailed and your video description gave me exactly what I needed. Thank you!❤

Good video Money. You break down the maytag very well. I have a no spin-sometimes spin w/grind (mostly no spin, wet clothes). I started with replacing the splutch, although the original looked pretty good (no luck). Replaced the shift actuator...still same situation. I've noticed what appears to be fine grindings and oily residue inside and on the belt guard. ??? Any ideas?

@WasherDryerMoney

make sure you oil the area where the shifter goes back and forth. It should easily move. if it's stiff even putting a new actuator on will not work. I'm not sure what the oil and fine dust would be. I have seen this in some machines.

the reason the sensors are there is to make sure the drum stops spinning before it shifts. If it were spinning when it shifts, it would strip the plastic teeth right off the plastic gears.

Fantastic work! Good job!

Sub’d!! Awesome video/explanation! I have this machine and it just stopped agitating in the middle of a cycle and I like to never have gotten the dang lid open. Was stuck closed. Tons of videos suggest it is the drive hub, but after disassembling it and looking at it, it does have some worn splines, but it seems to fit snuggly. After reassembling, the machine, it did fine and made it all the way through a load with no problem. I figure if it were the drive hub, I would have heard some type of grinding, which I did not. After watching more videos, I started to think the actuator might be bad. It was suggested by another technician on KZread to clean the spludge, which I will do today. I also found out how to put it in test mod and it passed all tests involving agitation, with flying colors. I just with I could be more sure it is the actuator and not something else, so that I’m not just throwing money at it? Thanks in advance for your time, I greatly appreciate it!!! And again, awesome video!! Hard to find such great, in-depth information, from knowledgeable individuals! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. My Bravos washer MVWX655DW1 was experiencing several issues mainly the drum moving with the wash plate instead of the wash plate moving by itself. This situation lead me to believe the actuator wasn’t shifting. Other water level issues ensued but after watching this video I learned the actuator does way more than shift the drum/plate. So, I purchased the actuator, W10913953,($60 local, could not wait for Amazon bc laundry stacking up) which is only 2 screws to repair. When I dropped the actuator out a small 1/8” plastic pin fell out of the shifter body. This is not the main pin, it was tiny and part of the internal shifter cam. After replacing it I ran a calibration (not diagnosis) scan and all is well now. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge on these newer style washers. I still prefer metal mechanical units over these newer computer driven plastic money pits. Good luck!
