Shaking washing machine when it went to spin mode
I watched a video on you tube repair videos and the repair went fairly easy. But I missed a part near the end of the video and placed a part too close to the shaft and it would not go into the spin mode. After watching the video again I was able to move the part 1/4" and it now works as good as new.

Gasket fell out of the door.
Simply remove the door, clean out any remaining gasket and loose glue. Apply a layer of high temp adhesive and quickly stretch the gasket and stick it in the glue. Let it dry overnight, remount the door and you are done.

Violent shaking upon water draining
Like in the video! The "easy" way with the block of wood and 3 electrical boxes. A little patience and this worked fine enough. The unit was stable raised up on the block of wood so no worries with it falling. I cleaned up the old damper pad from the front and then turned the unit by rotating on the block of wood (very easy as all the weight is supported) and accessed the back from the "port" hole in the back of the machine. There was enough room to work. The old damper pads were not in bad shape for 30+ years old. I cleaned it all up and applied the adhesive to one pad at a time and positioned in place. I probably placed them a bit to high but it worked out fine in the end. I let dry overnight and then greased them up and lowered the tub onto them. One of the electrical boxes popped off the spring but it went right back on using the tub for leverage as in the beginning. That was a relief. In the 30+ years that I've heavily used this washer this past month saw the only repairs to the machine - a plastic valve last month and the damper pads now. The Maytag repair man is a lonely fella. The repair and diagnostic information and parts on this site are invaluable. And, they are correct and a good value. Thanks PartSelect!

Felt gaskets were worn and protruding into the drum. Cork and nylon bearing surfaces worn were
Removed and replaced felt gaskets as per the instructional video, simple task. Removed and replaced cork and nylon bearing surfaces, simple task. I did NOT need the high temp adhesive as recommended by a rep according to the model # provided. I did use a small amount to reattach the loose rubber gasket on the front drum panel. The adhesive was an unnecessary added expense, and the cost of the cork and nylon bearing surfaces was excessive.

in reassembly, agitation cylce disappeared and went into a slow spin
I put everything back together like video and then did a small wash. The agitation cycle was gone! haha.....it was in a slow rotation and no agitation at all. The video guy seems to turn pulley wheel all the way clockwise till it bottoms out on brake and then he says to put the lug stop washer and screw it in 1/4" to 3/8" behind the tab on pulley and put screw in w/ lock washer. I watched other videos and figured out that was way too much turning on the pulley. I then unscrewed pulley and hand rotated it back on to the point where it barely start to make contact with brake and then I put the lug stop about almost 1/2" back, attached screw and lock washer and gave it a test and wallah! all good!.

Washer shakes/wobbles during spin cycles
This repair may seem daunting to your average non-professional repairman (certainly did for me) but, it's really not too bad. Additional items that you will find useful are a 4"x4"x12" block of wood, Acetone, Wire Brush, Sturdy Cloth, Gloves. First step is to disconnect the water and power and move washer to a suitable work area. Remove the front panel by removing the two screws located on the underside of the unit. Lift the front panel up and towards you from the bottom to free the top two clips, set panel aside. Once inside you will see that the tub is centered by three springs connected to eyelets that are bolted to the washer base. Mark the threads, then remove all three springs by removing the nuts from the underside of the washer, the tub is now free to move independent of the washer. Next you'll need to remove the two screws holding the top panel/Lid to the sides (be careful as this will greatly affect the washers overall rigidity). Once removed, carefully tilt the washer back just enough to slide the 4x4x12 block of wood underneath the main drive pulley connected to the bottom of the tub. Set the washer back down and the tub will now be propped up on the wood, exposing the damper pads on the washer base. Tear off the old pads and clean ALL residual glue using the acetone, wire brush and cloth. It's key to have a clean, smooth, and dry surface for the new pads to work properly. Once clean apply the new pads using the high temp glue and supplied instructions. I recommend applying one pad at a time as it requires a bit of dexterity. Don't slather the glue all around like I did or you'll be in a race against the clock to adjust them before the glue sets. I waited 4hrs for the glue to set, then applied the provided lube to each pad and re-assembled the washer in reverse order using the new springs. Be sure to check that your belts are still properly attached as the block of wood may have affected them. Finally, I checked and adjusted the leveling legs, Re-conneted water and power and gave it a test run. Washer runs great! 15+ loads with smooth operation and no more shakes or wobbles.

excessive vibration during spin cycle
After removing the two screws that hold the front panel in place , I could easily see the areas I needed to work in .Also , I removed the two screws securing the top panel and raised it a few inches . I saw how the damper pads were worn away . I removed the 3 dampering springs by removing the eyebolts and the base mounting nuts . After the dampering springs are removed , the washing drum can be lifted up off the bottom .Just lean the machine towards the rear and place a 4x4 lumber under the big pulley on the bottom and allow the machine to slowly come forward again resting on the lumber .I followed the instructions supplied and cleaned the excess dirt and debris away from the pad mounting areas . I applied the glue as instructed and allowed it to dry . A little dexterity was needed but the new pads easily went into position . After allowing a little more glue time ,I removed the 4x4 lumber from the bottom and lowered the machine .I installed new centering springs and tightened the eyebolts to thier original positions .I secured the top and the front panels and performed a couple test cycles . perfect , no vibration at all. like new . I replaced the two drive belts on the bottom because they had never been replaced and they definitely showed wear . Another test and I was completed in around 2 hours .

Was not drying properly. Making a rubbing noise metal to metal sound.
First had to remove the front panel after lifting the top up on its hinges and supporting it. Diconnected wires to the front panel after marking them where they go. Saw where drum was rubbing above the impeller housing for the fan. Removed the drum slides and replaced them with new slides and brackets. Removed the belt and replaced it. It is a little tricky with the belt on the tensioner so pay close attention on how you remove it, it will make putting the new one on easier.Replaced the felt gasket with high temp glue. Cleaned inside and outside of cabinet. Put the panel back on,hooked up the wires and it looks and runs like new again.

Is this adhesive also moisture proof?
PartSelect logo
Hello Marilyn, thank you for writing. We did find one sealant that is moisture proof. The part number is Silicone Rubber Adhesive - 2 oz PartSelect Number PS11740605. Silicone rubber adhesive is a high temperature adhesive that is used for gaskets on dryers and felt seals. It is used on many different appliances for many different application reasons. This silicone paste creates a waterproof seal between components. This product is a 2 oz. tube. Unplug your appliance if you will be working on any internal workings and applying this sealant. Wear gloves to protect your hand from accidently applying sealant to your skin. The surface must be clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Coat one surface and let it dry for at least one minute and then bond. We hope this helps.
