A103S Maytag Washer - Instructions

I followed the instructions from the video on the site. It went more difficult than the video showed but it was due to the washer. The instructions were very good. The only really difficult step was taking the bearing sleeve off of the transmission shaft. I ended up with a Dremmel tool and cutting it off. It only took 5 minutes, if that long. The washer has run very well since the repair.

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.

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