7MMPH0080VM0 Maytag Washer - Instructions

I am so glad that I found this site!! We had our washing machine looked at by a repair guy that wanted to charge us $90 +labor to repair the agitator. I looked on this site and found the parts and how to fix it myself. It cost me $6.52!!!! I can't believe that he was going to charge me for the agitator when all it was, was the dog ear cams!

Thanks again!

Removed the agitator. Then removed the nut holding the agitator shaft. I set the machine on its side. Working from the bottom, i removed the three bolts which hold the transmission/motor. I removed the wiring. Pulling the unit down and out of the shaft bearing. The clutch assembly is on the transmission/motor unit shaft. Remove the snap ring and retaining ring for the shaft. Replace the clutch unit in the reverse order. The hardest part to replace is the retaining ring on the shaft. Pay close attention on how everything comes apart and you won't have any problems. Saved myself a lot of money.

I never have and never will claim to be a mechanic. my wife said it had to be the lid switch. After opening and closing the lid I agreed. Took 2 screws out of back of top panel lifted control panel out of way and there was the lid switch just as part select custumers had said. $100 repairman fix, and I fixed it for a little over $20.

Replaced upper agitator cam kit assembly, very easy to replace and in about 15 minutes. I would also like to mention about PartSelect's web sit is very easy to find your parts and at good prices they even have video's if you need a little explanation on how to install your part.

I received the order quickly (although thought it could have been packaged in a much smaller box) and it took less than 10 mins to remove the old seal and replace with the new one. Only problem is the seal I ordered wasnt causing the problem ..lol so will be ordering again!!! Thank you!

after i got the part... problem with fedex in my area had the washer going before the truck drove off. Very good instrection thanks

The whole process is almost intuitive if you have taken things apart before. Pull up on the softener dispenser and remove it. Reach into the center of the agitator post, grip the handles on the sealing disc, twist and pull to remove. This exposes the bolt holding the agitator down. Use an 11mm socket and an extension to remove the bolt. Pull the assembly in one piece. Separate the top from the bottom carefully, remove the cam assembly from the top section. Place the new asssembly in its place and reassemble the agitator in the reverse order. When reinserting the sealing disc, clean the surfaces carefully, coat the O-ring with liwuid soap, and twist the disc while pressing down to ensure a good seal.

When the part arrived I was busy, so my wife opened it and replaced the part.

Note: Parts Select is unbelievably quick. I ordered the part on Saturday night, selected the cheapest shipping method, and received the part on Tuesday.

Watch the video. Remove agitator. Disconnect power and water supplies. Lay machine on its back. Unclip and move pump out of the way. Remove three bolts securing motor assy. Slide motor assy and agitator shaft away from tub. Remove a washer and c-clip to slide clutch assy off of shaft. Install new clutch and reassemble machine. Total time to repair is about 30 minutes.

Pull off the fabric softener dispenser. Removed the plastic seal. Use a socket and extension to remove the bilt and lift off the lower agitator. You may need to have a helper hold the lower agitator while you loosen the bolt. Remove the agitator from the machine. Use a flat bladed screw driver to break off the 4 small white tabs on the clear lock ring and remove the old parts. Install the new parts and re-install the agitator.

The repair was simple as you can imagine. Thought I could buy these legs at any big box store or at least at the local hardware store. No such luck. Partselect had the right product---easy to order and easy to install. Things around here are great.

Pulled it apart,layed it down and looked at it,and chaned the 3 springs. And it is like new again. . . . .

Follow the easy instruction video and save the $100 that it would cost you to have a service person come out and do it.
Thanks Part Select

I removed the top part by hand (where additives go), reached in and removed the inner cover by pinching it and picking it up. With a socket wrench, I removed the nut, then jiggled the whole thing until it came off. I took the complete agitator (upper and lower) out of the washing machine, then took it apart on a table. I noticed the cam had broken pieces in it so I ordered the complete cam package (under $7). If I ever do this again, I will take several pictures with my digital camera because I wasn't sure if certain parts were to be replaced upright or downwards since they appeared to go either way. Fortunately, there were other descriptions posted that helped me do this correctly...not to mention the diagrams provided by PartSelect. With this information, I put it back together and the washing machine works great! I highly recommend PartSelect! One more thing...I got my parts in only 2 days, so we weren't without a washer very long.

fast and easy
