Washer Noises and Shakes

General Talk

Good Day.

I have a Maytag MAV7000AWW, and have been experiencing noises and shaking with the unit. The first part of the problem was the pump, which has been replaced. Piece of cake.

Now, the unit runs, but it is still very loud throughout the cycle and now shakes consideribly during spin. Also, the brake is bad - real obvious there.

My thoughts are to replace the thrust bearing assy, snubber and brakes.

Can anyone confirm that this is a good course of action? Also, I have read the Performa thread on removing the brake w/o the tool. Do those same rules apply with this machine?

Thanks!

I’m thinking your bottom bearing is bad…part # 35-2205 you had water issues? any yet?

No water issues. Just the noise and vibration.

ok then a couple questions? what kind of floor do you have it on? what happened with the pump that bottom wheel will make it not spin or agitate, shouldnt make it noisey then check out part # 12001598 main tub bearing are the self leveling legs free?
