A23CSW Maytag Washer - Instructions

Put the parts on as described in your on-line videos. Was never able to get the metal sleeve off the old machine while installing the Mounting Stem/Tub Seal Kit. I didn't want to cut the sleeve for fear that I wouldn't be able to install the new one and ruin the machine. Video needs to address that issue more fully. Chances are that if these parts need replaced, then the sleeve will be as tight as ours - they won't just slide off like the video shows.

I assumed the belts were bad and were slipping on the pulleys. It took about 10 minutes to install the new belts, however the problem was in the washer transmission which was a difficult and expensive repair and after 22 years of fauless operation,

unplug machine, Remove front cover. Lift the top up and back. Take off the plastic spin basket top. Remove the aggitator. Remove the mounting stem nut, set screw, and remove the spin basket. Remove the mounting stem. Unbolt the three tub support brackets. take off the bleach dispenser hose, the pump hose, and the water level sensor. lift out the tub. push out the old seal and bearing. Clean everything and install the new seal. Reinstall the tub including the mounting stem seal. replace the spin basket. replace the plastic top. Hook up all the hoses. Replace the top. Cycle the machine and check for leaks before replacing the front cover.

Had to take the back off to replace valve

Short videos were all I needed to see - the replacement of the two belts were simple - washer working perfectly now.

I watched the YouTube video twice and it was just as easy as in the video. No problems. I ran a couple of test loads and it was back working like a champ. My parents had their belt changed by a repair man and it cot them $150 (pretty reasonable). This whole repair cost only $45 and 15 minutes (including the video watching time!). It pays to do the simple things.

I unplugged machine and removed water and clothes. Tipped washer bback to gain acccess to belts, which slipped off and back on quite easily. Put washer back in place, plugged in and continued washing clothes. Simple!

Just as the video described.... Unplugged the machine, turned off the water, both hot and cold. Unhooked the hoses (replaced them at this time since they were over 5 years old). Took out the top screw holding the frame piece and removed from machine. Took off the wires and the output hose. Removed the valve ass'y from the frame piece. Matched new to the original and reassembled in reverse order.

Ordered replacement water inlet valve, switched out within 10 mins and problem solved for less than $50. Maytag design easily allowed for the inlet valve unit to be replaced without accessing interior workings of the washer. The unit is mounted with 3 screws on a removable rear panel where the hot and cold H2O hoses are connected. Very easy! Tested immediately upon completion and was delighted to see that hot, warm and cold water filled the tub extremely fast, the way it worked when purchased new 18 years ago. The web site repair video was key to my success.

Being mechanically inclined, I found this repair pretty straight forward. First, watch the video and keep returning to it to double check yourself. Second, find someone with the spanner wrench, or purchase one. I called a appliance repair shop, and they loaned me one with a refundable deposit. My only compliant is the the out side tub bolts have a rubber washer that is not included with the repair parts kit. Inspect the rubber or find replacements. As the video explains, "TIGHTEN THE NUTS not the BOLTS", this will keep the old rubber washers from twisting. Recommend replacing your transmission shaft bearing and wash tub seal at the same time, If you can afford them.

Just tilt the washing machine, take out the old and put back the the one its so easy. You don't have take out anything.

My Maytag washing machine is 27 years old. Bought new in 1985. This is only the second repair I have made on the machine since I have owned it. Removed the front panel, then the two screws that hold the top on the body. I ordered the complete injector hose kit. I also ordered the side mount injector sleeve, because the one that came with the kit was the wrong on for my machine. (Cheaper than buying the parts separately.) Easy to install. One end was simply twist on, the other end had a hose crimp type clamp. The injector sleeve was held on with one screw. Took about 15 minutes to do the job.

smell of burnt material led me to the belts. they were not broken so while watching my wife turned the machine on-I observed that ther motor would spin but nothing else- so I pushed on it and it engaged into a spin cycle, I ordered a motor mount and two replacement belts- removing the belts and cleaning the area all looked as it should so I replaced the belts Test run all okay so I returned the motor mount. Turned out to be an easy repair-- Thank you

I followed the video provided. The video was very clear and helpful.

Couldn’t be happier with the service provided by PartSelect. By looking at the diagram of my washer at their Internet site I could see exactly which parts I needed for my 20-year old Maytag clothes washer. The parts I ordered were received within three business days and were perfect replacement parts. While I didn’t need it, an added bonus was I was sent information videos that I could watch over the Internet that clearly showed how to install the parts. While I just had a simple hose leak from age and wear, I replaced some additonal parts at the same time just to be on the safe side. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for more in being able to do the job myself.
