Great video. I just used this to replace the bearing in my Maytag. One difference: My bearing was stuck together with the the piece that he had to stomp through the tub hole. When I lifted the tub, only the tub came out (after a fight). And then I couldn't pull the old piece off of the bearing and the shaft. I had to cut a small slit, fight with it, cut a little more, more fighting, then eventually the bearing AND the piece that fits over the bearing came out in one piece. Until that and while installing, it all went just like the video.

Great video, just bought a used Maytag A712 (circa 1988 model) off of Craigslist and this helped strip it down and clean it up. We had a Maytag (A512 I think) from 1986 to 2014 and for some reason replaced the washer and dryer when the gas dryer died. We got a LG front loader and my wife HATED IT, the front loaders have no water in them and she was rewashing loads multiple times to get dirt and beach sand off of clothes. Also they are high maintenance there are all kinds of things to do (wipe the rubber or it smells, filters to clean, leave the door open,...) So we went back to the classic easily repairable Maytag top loaders. Drove 180 miles round trip to pick up the used Maytag A712 and LOVE IT. Who would have thought a tub full of hot water swirling around would be so satisfying.

Thank you so much for this extremely detail-oriented repair. I successfully completed this job with the video playing on my laptop sitting on top of the dryer. Even with a substantial amount of rust on my bearing (and everything above it), your guidance made this an easy and enjoyable repair exercise.

Great video, I've waded through dozens of repair forums where the final remark was telling them that the parts and/or labor were too costly or cumbersome to do yourself. That they should just take it to a repair tech or replace the unit altogether. It seems that in most cases the company that sells the parts will be the first to tell you how to fix it yourself. Although the other forums were useful in that collectively they gave me enough information conduct a search that led to this video.

Hi, Steve. I followed your video here to the letter and watched it a few times. Everything went well on my tub bearing and tub seal job on my Maytag. The old bearing assy. was so rusted, it stuck to the input shaft when I pulled the outer tub off. I soaked it with WD-40, then I cut one side of it as best I could with my Dremel tool, then used a short angled shaft pry bar with the chisel-like tip and a hammer to knock it loose and get it off. Then I used the Dremel tool to cut either side of the bearing sleeve and knocked it right off. That`s a good idea they came up with, designing that shaft with 2 slots to accommodate using a cutting wheel if you need to! After the repair, I ran the washer on "spin" cycle for 4-5 minutes to be sure it was okay, then started my laundry. Works like a charm now! Thanks so much! Now, on to my water inlet valve replacement job on my dishwasher!

This is what happened to me, too. The old bearing assembly was rusted and stuck to the input shaft. I used a different tool to cut, but I ended up doing what you did. (I wish I'd read your comment first!)

The agitator shaft is held in place in your washer’s transmission by the agitator hold down bolt. The bolt connects the agitator to the top of the transmission shaft. In addition, there’s a small spline on the transmission shaft and also on the agitator to help with a tight fit. Hope that helps.

Hi Paul, Yes - the part you need is called the locking screw and O-ring. The locking screw is located on the side of the agitator, and keeps the entire assembly locked down. You can find this on our website, and the part number required for your model is 22001819. I hope that helps!

Enjoyed watching the video. Very interesting stuff. Thanks.

Excellent video! Thank you so much for creating and sharing your knowledge!

What's the part number for the spanner wrench?

No, you're mistaken. This screw 22001819 holds the plastic agitator onto the steel agitator shaft. I have this installed already. On my unit, the whole steel agitator shaft PS2347244 pulls out very easily from the transmission (with the whole plastic agitator PS2019803 still attached to the steel agitator shaft). I need to keep the agitator Shaft firmly in the transmission housing. I hope this is clearer now...

Would it be OK or recommended to use some sort of high temperature grease on the new bearing?

what size is the spanner wrench?

excellent video! Thanks

Hi Han, thanks for the kind words; hopefully it made your DIY repair go smoothly!

Hi there, There should be six screws - do you see any on the sides of the top, where the control panel is?

I finally have my tub bearing replaced and stem seal. My machine was spinning before I replaced them. Now my machine will not spin and I smell the belt burning during spin cycle. I know my pump is pumping the water out. I checked to make sure the top was not rubbing. What else can I do to check why it is stuck and not spinning?

I need to replace the tub bearing and seal on my Maytag LAT9557AAE due to noise and water leaking. But the agitator shaft (with the plastic agitator auger attached) comes out of the transmission easily. What holds the agitator shaft in place on the transmission on my unit? Thanks

Is this agitator hold down bolt available? I want to order it, along with bearing and seal, but I don't see this bolt anywhere in your transmission diagram...I need to keep the agitator shaft from coming out of the transmission housing. Thank you.

How can I get the old one off it is stuck onto the transmission shaft. I have tried a pair of pliers and also tried to spin it off still no luck. If I can get the old one off what can I do to keep the new one from getting stuck on permanent like this one.

very helpul video ,the head bolt holding the agitator is missing .how can i unscrew what left of the screw in order to remove the agitator

+‫דוד אברהם סמרלי‬‎ You can try locking pliers or “ViseGrips” if there is enough of the screw left to grip. Otherwise you would have to cut away that portion of the agitator to remove it, which would then require a replacement.

What is the part number on your site for the idler pulley?

hi I need some help I have a maytag washer machine model no. hav2360aww. i'm trying to replace the timer but I can't get it off. because I don't see any screws or clips. any help I will thank.

What washer is this? I've never seen this type of whirlpool before. Thought there were only the classic belt drive (70's-80's), the design 2000 (direct drive) and the new Cabrio (high efficient lock lid) version.

+fred handy That is a Maytag Dependable Care style washer that was in production from before 1960 until around the late 90’s.

I have a 2000 model Maytag lat9696age that is leaking water on the spin cycle from the centre of the tub, do I have to replace the tub bearing when I replace the stem seal kit? Thanks

Hi Glenn, while researching your model number the manufacture recommends that if your replacing the tub bearing to also replace the seal kit at the same time.

I have these parts ordered and have a question. You put the sleeve on the transmission - then put the tub over it , shouldn't some grease be used on this?

The steel sleeve does not need lubrication. The lubrication is contained in the bronze tub bearing that the sleeve rotates in.

do you also have to replace the mounting stem/tub seal kit as well, while replacing the bearing kit?

It is not necessary to replace the mounting stem kit for a bearing replacement job, but it is standard practice for many technicians. If the tub bearing was corroded badly or if the mounting stem seal is deteriorated any, then we would suggest that you replace the mounting stem kit at the same time.

Jesus Christ! Throw this washer in the trash and buy an old Whirlpool Direct Drive machine.
