PAV2300AWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

I removed the top back panel and top cover of the machine,I replaced the switch and also put new 1/4 inch plastic hose on from back top of tub that connects to the water level switch all is well works like new.

I am a single women and was very proud of this accomplishment:My washer began making horrible noise when agitating (only), I did some research (on this site) on what the problem could be. I decided to replace the drain pump and belt. It was so much easier than I expected and now, it works with no bad sounds. I have a very simple model, nothing fancy and I hope that is why it was so easy.. not much going on. I am proud of myself since I did all this on my own.. no man helped! :)

just a matter of 1 screw to remove and replace part ordered part 1 day and came in next day with regular mail. was a surprise for my daughter, she went on vacation and i fixed while she was gone. she was using different items to place in slot to engage each cycle.

I lifted the washer and supported it in the front, then slipped the drive belt off the large agitator pulley. I then tried to turn each of the 3 pulleys under the machine. The Drain Pump was definitely seized. I removed the small access panel in the rear of the machine, removed the 2 drain hoses by releasing the clamps with pliers. Removed the 3 screws with a socket wrench and removed the pump. The new pump was a perfect fit, and we are back up and running. Thank You.

Followed existing instruction to get tub and transmission out of the machine but we couldn't get the transmission free. Wound up taking the tub with the transmission attached to an appliance dealter who said we needed to remove the retaining clip on the bearing at the top of the transmission (inside the tub). We didn't have the tool to do that so we left it at the service center (60 miles from our location) and paid $291 for the repair then had to reassemble the unit when we got it home.

I watched the video. Not as easy to hand start the screws ,as shown, in the new hinges (I replaced both) I used a drill with a phillips bit to pre start the screws with the hinge in a vise. It then had threads cut, which made it possible to hand start, and I finished with the drill/bit to tighten up.

I followed the instructions posted on the partselect.com website. 1. Turned off the water. 2. Unscrewed the fill hoses, and drain hose. There was a bit of water to drain from each, so I used a bucket. 3. Next I lifted the top of the washer and used a 5/16 nutdriver to take out the two screws holding on the front panel. 4. I then separtated the tub-to-pump hose, and the fill level tube. 5. I then took out all six of the suspension springs. 6. I then tipped the washer back, (with a helper) and removed the drive belt. 7. Then I took out the tub, through the top and set it upside down on the floor. 8. I loosened the six screws around the drive pulley, to release the Snubber ring. **VERY IMPORTANT** DO NOT TAKE THE SIX SCREW ALL THE WAY OUT!! 9. I walked the Snubber ring out and put the new one on, making sure it stayed even all the way around. 10. I tightened the six screws back up and put the tub back into the washer cabinet, being careful not to damage the plastic pulley on the bottom of the tub. 11. I installed the new (6) suspension springs. 12. I re-attached the tub-to-pump hose, and the fill level tube. 13. I re-attached the drain hose and the fill hoses. 14. Turn on the washer, check for leaks and you should be good to go. The washer works as good as new, I am very pleased.

The old worn belt came off with little difficulty, using the screw driver to coax it over the wheel. And the new one went on just as easy.

Replaced pump and installed new belt and machine is good as new.

Cleaned the grooves well on the top of the agitator and put the new dispenser on. Easy! I suffered with the old one coming off in the spin cycle for too long. Once I located this site it was relatively easy to find the part & order it, and it arrived quickly.

Unscrewed one screw and replaced with new part.

I watched the video you sent with my order conformation and it was very helpful and accurate. I will order from you again. Cecelia

Replace rotor brake & stator, bearings and shims. Followed bearing kit instructions. Works fine after repair. Saved $$$ and caught up on laundry!!!

i pulled the casing from machine....undid motor bracket bolts....disconnected electrical connector and removed motor w mounting bracket still attached. i switched out springs....very simple...returned motor back to machine and attached....then leaned washer back and put new belt on. machine would work for 2 min and the shut off due to motor over heating...once again i tilted machine and was able to tighten bolts where motor attaches to pivot bracket keeping pulley from pivoting to far and causing strain on the motor and thus making it overheat and stop...several loads run without any trouble.....$28.00 washer repair is much better than having to buy a new one...especially in economic times like these... your website was very helpful, fair priced, and delivered my parts in a timely fashion.....ty

After some quick internet research I figured the snubber ring needed replacing. I watched a couple of videos on how to replace which was very helpful and I basically followed them to remove the tub and internals. A couple of notes- 1. to get to all of the springs really requires accesss from the back of the machine. 2. there is only one snubber ring, the schematics make it seem like there are two. 3. most importantly, the videos made the spring removal and installation seem difficult. Have someone tip the tub in the direction of the spring you are working on to relax it some. Also if you use your pliers with a fulcrum to pull tension on the spring you don't need the special tool or run the risk of slipping and driving the pliers into the tub. I used my free hand under my gripping hand, a small block would work too. If the pliers slip it only moves a short distance until the plier grips hit the floor - no damage. 4. don't forget the cornstarch on the cone for the snubber ring. 5. the drive assembly has a warning on it about 200 lbs of tension, don't let the screws to loosen the snubber ring come free from the ring they are screwed into - always keep the screws engaged.
