Washer is extremely loud on spin cycle
For model number WTW5640XW3
Hi Scott, thank you for contacting us. Your washer may be facing this issue because of the faulty clutch assembly. We recommend you replace the clutch assembly, part number PS10057144, to fix the issue. The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It helps the tub to gradually get up to the proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out over time, it may become loud during the spin cycle or just after the spin cycle finishes. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

the machine powers up and ready to start in the middle of the nite
For model number WTW5640XW3
Hi Fay, thank you for reaching out. Ensure that the delay wash has not been set. If it is not the issue, we would suggest checking the control board, part number PS3653300. It manages the washer's functions such as filling, washing, draining and spinning. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

My washer has been banging and shaking during the spin cycle and when I push down on the tub it’s bouncy. Would this be the suspension rods?
For model number WTW5640XW3
Hello Tyler, thank you for getting in touch. A washing machine banging and shaking violently during the spin cycle is because of worn suspension rods or an unbalanced load. Check the suspension rods, part number PS11703291, which connect the tub to the washer's chassis, for cracks or bending. If the rods are worn out or bent, the washer will shake. We hope this helps.

What part needs to be changed if the machine doesn’t go into the spin cycle after the rinse cycle?
For model number WTW5640XW3
Hello Giselle, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking the drain hose for clogging. If this is not the issue, you may need to check the shift actuator, part number PS11747977, to solve the problem. This part changes the transmission from agitation to spin mode. Actuator shifts the splutch and monitors the position of the splutch. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Defective lid latch - Cabrio Washer
The instructions that came with the part were worthless. Essentially, unplug, put in new part, plug it back in. I spent a considerable amount of time on the internet and finally found a video showing how to open the top. Unlike other models, it is held down by clamps in the back rather than clips in the front. Once finding this inform

ation the installation was simple. Remove the clamps and the back of the console, slide the top forward and lift, remove and replace the lock and reassemble. You don't even have to remove the hoses.

and put aside, so you can snap off the cover for drive clutch on upper part with screwdriver and off the parts come and install whole unit back as took it apart. Line up the new upper clutch so that is position as was before. (Using parts diagram helps a lot as www. partsselect.com has for you or Maytag.com.) Then put the electronic part board back on and the gear and nut. Make sure it is tight by several attempts to make sure it's snugged up good and then slowly roll belt back on the pulley and motor drive. Put your cover guard back on with two screws and done.
