Worn belt & burnt motor pulley
First, I looked at the site for instructions on what was wrong, it explained in full detail what and how to remove and replace. We called a local Maytag dealer and told them the part number that the site told us to order and they told us we needed a whole new motor with the plastic motor pulley. they told us the part does not come separate, so we went back to the site and ordered a $6.00 part and paid a small s/h charge and when it came in we went back to the site to see how to put it back together and the instructions were perfectly awesome. The $6 part is what we actually needed not the $178 complete motor that the dealer told us we had to buy. Thanks for this wonderful site it saved us lots of money. this is the 3rd time we order from this site and the instructions we correct all 3 times, I would recommend this site to all who has a home with repairs! Thank you for putting a well useful site together.

Plastic pulley broke
No one would sell me just the plastic pulley,they said that I had to buy the whole motor.160.00 dollars.I keep searching and found partselect.com and they had the pulley on line.I had my part in two days for about 12.00 dollars and it took about 5 min. to install.Just had to tap it lightly with small hammer to move it up the rod to fit in groves.Thank-you partsselect for being honest.

Making a lot of noise during wash and drain cycle.
The drain pump assembly was going bad. It eventually froze and burned the drive belt and motor pulley up. I replaced the drain pump by removing 3 screws. I replace the motor pulley and belt in about 5 minutes without removing any parts. Simple fix. Ran through 3 cycles and works perfectly. Thanks!

Overloaded & caused belt to slip ruining the motor pully causing machine to make loud rumbling sound
Hardest part was removing front panel to access the motor.
Removed front panel, Tilted washer with block under the front. Removed belt. Used pully puller to remove damaged pully. Tapped on new pully with 1/2 in socket until shoulder seated on motor shaft. Replaced belt and front panel. Runs as smooth as new now. Additional note: I removed the plastic guard over the top of the motor and held an additional socket on the top of the motor shaft to avoid internal damage to the motor while tapping the new pully on the lower shaft.

Overloading, and general abuse of the machine had caused the motor and spin pulleys to burn and the belt to slip. (pungent burn odor)
I used a small screw driver to remove the teeth from the motor pully and fit the puller on the pulley with a small socket protecting the end of the shaft. it came off easily with a few turns on the puller. I placed the new motor pulley on the shaft and tapped it into place with a small dead-blow mallet (a hammer with a hollow, heavy, plastic head filled with sand). Unfortunately, the spin /transmission shaft pulley was an incorrect part for the application and the motor turned out to have some internal heat damage. I was not able to apply this part because it was the wrong application but if it is you are in luck. The clip removal is the same and install this pulley flat side down and reassemble. If not, read on. I removed the motor by removing the front panel, removing the three bolts securing the motor to the plate, and disconnecting the wiring plugs and ground wire. I lucked out finding a spin pulley and motor rebuild kit locally. After rebuilding the motor with the new bushings, brushes, etc. from the kit, I reinstalled it by reversing the removal steps. I then removed the spin/trans pulley by removing a plastic grease cup/cover from the end shaft and removed the C-clip and washer holding the pulley in place with a small screw driver. I was careful not to let the pulley and washer/thrust washer stack on top of it fall off so I could be sure of the order in which they should be reinstalled. I applied fresh grease and reversed the disassembly proceedure making sure to drive the C-clip fully into the slot on the shaft with a large flat-tip screwdriver and the mallet. I cleaned, regreased, and reinstalled the grease cup/cover back into place firmly making sure it snapped into place. I slipped the belt back on the pulleys and reinstalled the front panel with the two screws at the top inside corners. The job was done.

Belt was not turning
The reason for the belt not turning was because of a cover in the water pump pulley which did not allow the water pump to rotate and that's why the belt and the plastic motor pulley burn out. First I removed that cover and then removed the belt, the pulley was easy simply by breaking all the little teeth with a screwdriver then the pulley can be remove by using a screwdriver as a lever. putting the pulley, simply use a plastic hammer so it does not get damage be patient. finally the belt and you are done, hopefully this will help someone.

Motor pully broke
First our local store said you had to buy the whole motor. I didn't. I bought the pully from you guys and took pliers and pulled the broke pully off and put a socket on there and hit it with a hammer and then she washes.

Washer was leaking
The washer was making a terrible squealing noise and when I examined it, I found the drain pump was leaking. I found a few videos online and then found this site when I started searching for replacement parts. I was originally just going to order the drain pump, but this site lead me to check out the underside of the washer where I found the belt had basically melted onto the motor wheel. Watched a few videos here, determined that the motor itself was still operating fine, so i ordered a drain pump, motor wheel, and a new belt. 2 days later they arrived. The motor wheel was hard to get off. I ended up prying it off with a hammer. Then gently tapped the new one on. Replacing the drain pump was simple - use a socket wrench to unscrew the 3 bolts holding it on, disconnect the hoses, then just do the reverse to put it back. At that point, I just slipped the new belt on, made sure everything was turning smoothly and ran a small test load in the washer. It was as good as new and cost me a lot less than buying a new one or calling a repairman.
