PAVT234AWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

All I had to do was take off the white cap on top of the spinner, place the dispenser cup in the hole and it was done! It works great even though there was no indication that my model would work with a dispenser. It was the best $3.95 I ever took a chance on!

I followed the instructions that other posters suggested. The springs were the toughest part to remove and reinstall. Having my wife push the tub enabled me to use vice grips to get them back on. Read about the coins or washers to spread the springs too late... would have helped. Running a wash now and it's spinning great and no noise!

Took the front panel off. The springs looked old, but not sprung. The reasonable cost of the parts and the video showing how easy it appeared to install new springs convinced me to try this myself. I am definitely not a handyman, so this was concerning. I unhooked the three springs in the front and replaced them fairly easily because they were accessible. Stretching the springs was quite a challenge. a vice-grip vs. a standard pliers is recommended. I learned from another testimonial on this site that tipping the washtub toward the springs when you try to reconnect them helped. GREAT TIP! The three springs in the back were only accessible via a small panel, making them more difficult to replace. I recommend you take the front springs off first, then the back ones, tip the tub toward the back to replace the back springs first, then go after the front three springs by pulling the tub forward. Having someone help with the tub will make this easier. (I didn't have that luxury.) My washing machine is not a "walking" machine any more. And no banging either!

Replaced pump because pulley did not come off pump without breaking pump in half.

The repair was a piece of cake! I actually stumbled upon PartSelect by searching for the part, it happened to be that the part through your company was the cheapest! Not only did that make me and my wallet happy the part came fast and i was able to repair the washer in 15-30 mins!! Thank you PartSelect!

changed drive belt and saved me from buying new washer,,working like bland new again ...many thanks

Followed the excellent utube instructions you provide. Piece of cake when I followed the video. The rear springs became much more difficult because my model does not have rear access panel. They were the only stuggle. Thank you for doing the repair videos

My husband unhooked the water lines, unplugged the washer and remove the waste water hose, then we tipped it over and easy as pie the belt came off and the new one went right back on. I did not see any tears or breaks in the old belt, but it was stretched out a bit, and the washer is once again quiet. This also gave me an opportunity to clean under the washer, which we all know we don't do unless we have to. Cheap, quick, and easy fix for someone to do there self.

I followed Gary from Sioux City IA instructions. Very well explained.

It took two of us to move aqnd hold the tub so we could install the hinge. I would not say it was easy to accomplish this.

Remove tub assembly per snubber replacement procedure.
Place tub assembly on top of a milk crate open-side up.
Support tub assembly on milk crate with 2x4's to protect pully from damage.
Remove agitator from tub assembly.
Press down on tub assembly cap, release tabs and remove tub assembly cap.
Remove inner tub from tub assembly.
Mark tub frame with location of outer tub air bell for ease of reassembly.
Remove outer tub from transmission assembly.
Replace inner tub gasket
Replace outer tub gasket

Problem encountered was that the replacement tub had a defective air bell. The washer consequently did not detect fill level and subsequently overflowed flooding the laundry room. The bell looked ok visually. Blowing into the air tube while plugging the inside hole with a finger revealed a pinhole leak in one corner of the PP weld. PartSelect was prompt with replacement, but the job had to be redone in its entirety.

Always test the air bell before installing an outer tub.

I lifted top portion of the washer after removing rear attachment screws to obtain access to lid hinge and mounting pins. I unscrewed the broken hinges and pins and installed the new ones.

I believe I could have avoided removing the rear attachement screws by sliding a screw driver or flat pry bar under the front panel and lifted the front panel up. The job would have taken much less time.

I followed all the instructions from your site. It was very easy. Hardest part was the hose clamps. So it was very easy.

diagnosed a loose belt-- ordered and received same -- installed and set to proper tension that was simple.

The process was quite straight forward - simply by removing the top control panel at the back of the unit and pull out the plastic lock pin that kept the old knob wedged tight. Then install the new knob in the reverse process. That's it.
