Maytag, admiral mod avv7000aww makes gringing

Maytag, admiral mod avv7000aww makes gringing noise underneath agitator. Agitator not engaging.

It's not an imbalanced load as it will do the same thing when there is no chothes, water at smallest load size. Makes noise in wash, rinse and spin cycles

The following link should help you with removing the agitator to replace the dogs:

Whirlpool models generally only have two methods of removing the agitator. One type uses a hex bolt, and the other uses a recessed square nut. The removal procedures are explained in the link provided. I hope this helps you. Please let me know if still have questions.

SOURCE: how to remove agitator

hi The washing machine tub, or basket, generally doesn't cause problems. However, at times it may cause damage to the laundry, make a lot of noise, vibrate, or stop completely.

If laundry is torn during the wash cycle, feel around the tub. If you find a rough spot, you may be able to smooth it with an emery board. Sand the spot lightly. If this doesn't work -- or if you have to cut to bare metal to remove the roughness -- the tub should be replaced. In this case, it's probably much wiser to replace the entire washer.

The agitator -- the finned part that fits on the tub shaft -- can also tear laundry if the fins are cracked or broken. You may be able to solve the problem temporarily by pinching off the splinters with pliers and lightly filing the plastic smooth, but this is just a stopgap measure; the agitator should be replaced. Replace a damaged agitator with a new one of the same type. To do this, unscrew the cap on top of the agitator. With the cap off, pull straight up on the agitator; it should lift off. If it doesn't move, rap its side with a hammer. If it still won't lift off, drive wedges under the bottom rim of the agitator to dislodge it. Then set the new agitator into place and replace the agitator cap.

Damage to the snubber, a padlike device sometimes located under the agitator cap, can cause the machine to vibrate excessively. The snubber may have a suspension spring in it. Lift off the agitator cap and examine the snubber. If the spring is broken, or if the pad is visibly worn, replace the entire snubber. Snubbers might also be found at the splash guard at the top of the tub, under the transmission, or as part of the water pump housing. Look around until you see it.

If the machine doesn't have a snubber, listen for noise at the suspension unit between the tub and the machine cabinet. The suspension unit has fins or pads that may need replacement. In some cases, the entire unit may have to be replaced. Another noise point is the basket support nut. Tighten the nut or, if you can't tighten it, replace it.

I have an Admiral ATW4475XQ0 washing machine and the agitator doesn't feel like it's agitating with full force.

Hi,

Please double check that you're accounting for the weight of the clothes in the washer. Lighter clothes should produce a lower sound and heavier loads should be much louder. If possible, you can add some oil around the rotating portion of the machine in order to lower friction.

Thank you.

My Maytag Performa Washer is making a scratching noise during the spin cycle. Any ideas what it could be?

The problem could be due to few things.

1.There is a seal underneath the nut that holds the air bell housing on.

2.A faulty agitator component,there is a plastic hub that connects the
agitator to the motor and this can become worn.

3.Finally it can be the transmission,this is most likely your problem.

The seal has cracked and will need to be replaced. Part of it is in the drive block attached to the basket and is probably your failure. All you need to remove is the maytag tool and a strong arm.

Noise in washer need to know how to remove agitator

For most Kenmore, Whirlpool, Estes, Maytag, and some GE washers the top portion of the agitator can be pried off (either a cap or fabric sofrtner dispenser depaneing on make and model) and there is a bolt underneath. Once removed, the agitator can be lifted straight out. Some GE's you have to actually "pop" the agitator by placing a strap underneath and lifting it out that way. If your are still having trouble, reply back with your model and serial number and we can go from there.
