Worn out splines connecting transmission driveshaft to agitator.

DIY'er working on a Maytag Centennial type washing machine should be aware that replacing a a transmission or agitator due to worn out splines is only half a job done well. I originally replaced my transmission due to worn splines, only to discover later that the worn agitator splines caused the new transmission splines to wear out at an accelerated rate. Transmission and Agitator should be replaced together, along with a new Agitator mounting bolt. There are plenty of video's online of how to do this repair so I won't get into that here. Just wanted to drop the above sage advice. Transmissions for these washers aren't cheap.

3 CLUTCH
Fixes Symptom 6% of time

This is a clutch designed for use within top-load washers. The clutch is used to engage the transmission of your washer during the agitation and spinning cycles, to ensure it runs properly. If your washing machine is not agitating or spinning properly, the clutch could be the problem, and it will need to be tested and then potentially replaced. To replace the clutch in your washing machine, you will need to disassemble your washer from underneath, and will need a socket wrench and screwdriver as a result. This clutch is an OEM part and is only sold with a single securing screw.

Loud grinding noise when the washer was in use.

1.) disconnect power to your washer. Turn off water supply and disconnect from the washer.

open the washer top and remove plastic cap from the wash plate

2.) using 7/16 socket, remove bolt from the wash plate. If you can't remove it with a socket , I recommend using impact wrench.

3.) remove wash plate ( you might need to spray penetrating oil or wd40 inside the bolt hole to loosen it.
Check to make sure the wash plate gear grooves are not worn down, if they are, replace it.

4.) using your Maytag specific spaner nut wrench, remove the spaner nut from the shaft of the gear case. This should be right underneath where the wash plate was. If you can't turn it by hand , use a rubber mallet or hammer to encourage it.

5.) some people remove the wash basket at this point. I don't think it is necessary.

6.) close your washing machine. Tape the top closed to keep it from flying open. Tilt your washer back and prop it up where you have access to the underside of the washing machine.

7) remove motor rotor bolt and pull rotor off of the motor.

8.) disconnect the two wire connectors that supply power to motor. using a socket, remove bolts that are keeping motor attached to the gear case.

9.) Now that the gear case is all the is remaining on the underside, you can remove the 4 bolts that are holding the gear case to the washer. Now try to pull gear case out.

10.) if gearcase will not pull out, lower washer back to upright position. Spray penetrating oil or wd40 around the shaft of the gearcase and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a hammer, lightly tap on the shaft of the gearcase and it should now fall out. ( you might have to apply penetrating oil again, or apply more force with the hammer.

11.) reinstall motor to new gearcase. Insert new gear case to the washer. Reinstall bolts and reconnect power supply wires.

12. ReInstall spaner nut inside the washer, reinstall wash plate.

This clutch slider kit is genuine OEM replacement kit that fits in various models of washing machine. It is a part of the transmission system in your washer which is responsible for controlling the movement of the agitator during the wash and spin cycles. The assembly includes the clutch band, slider, and lock ring. The kit helps to regulate the speed and direction of the agitator or drum. It allows the machine to start and stop spinning smoothly, as well as change speeds as needed during the wash and spin cycles.
