When the washer is on spin cycle it is very noisy. I have taken the bottom front pannel off to inspect when the machine is spinning and found a small amount of water leaking above the transmission and also the transmission is slinging a brown in color substance all over and around the inside pannels. The washer is only 2 years old. This is a
Maytag Washer Model SAV 5710 AWW. I appreciate and Thank You for any help you can offer.

I have the same problem with a unit about 2.5 years old. Noise in spin cycle sounds like it is going to take off. Occasionally drips water, now grinds in agitation during wash cycle. The last Maytag washer we had before this lasted 20+ years with only one belt change. Very disappointed. This seems like a crossbreed between a Maytag and Speed-queen & Amana. It leaked so seldom I couldn't find the source until the noise and then found it drips from above the trans and it gets slung around to the sides of the cabinet. I wonder if this is design failure and would be covered by Maytag under a special warranty...I have the same problem with a unit about 2.5 years old.

We purchased our "Maytag" SAV 5710 Aww in Feb. 2005 and about 5 months ago it started making a loud, grinding noise during the spin cycle of the quickest spinning cycle, but is less noisy on the slower spin cycles. Finally called a repaiman yesterday when it just became obnoxious. We spent $65 to hear our bearings are going out & it is leaking water and oil. Guy told us to run it until it siezed and then buy a Whirlpool, as this was not a "real" Maytag anyway and they don't make them anymore. Another company makes them and puts Maytag name on them. Each of our previous Maytag washers have lasted 15+ years, so we are terribly disappointed. We called the Appliance place where we bought it, but they have not yet returned our call. We are not holding our breath. Any recourse? Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer. Has anyone had this same issue and resolved it? We were told it would cost over $300 to replace bearings.

We had the same problems as are described here. We have had at least 4 repair calls. The good news for us is we bought an extended warranty. These are all known problems with this model. They supposedly do not make/sell anymore because it is inferior. Ours needs so many parts to repair that the insurance company has offered to replace it with a new one instead.We had the same problems as are described here. We have had at least 4 repair calls.

Re: Noisy spin cycle
Hey ****, what you are hearing is the spin bearing. Maytag redesigned the bearing kit on this washer, there must of been a lot of leaks causing the bearing to go bad. They put out a service flash...TDL-0060-B. New seal and bearing kit, part number12002470. You may want to contact Maytag on this for it could be covered. I know you have 5 years warranty on the transmission and If they change that, they have to use a new seal and bearing. Catriver...post back.
Who ever rated this poor, take the bearing kit and put it where the sun don't shine..Catriver..Who ever rated this poor, take the bearing kit and put it where the sun don't shine..Catriver..

We have had all the problems each of you have mentioned above. Our repairman has also stated it is a common problem. Seems like a design flaw that somebody should be responsible for. Don't buy Maytag!

Hi just read your posting.Now when is the machine noisy?Is it when the machine pumps out the water or when the bowl spins.Sorry to ask you this but please be accurate when you reply to this question.The reason being is that if it is noisy when it pumps the water it could be your pump but if it is noisy when the bowl turns for the spin then the problem will be your bearings and seals.Select a spin cycle and push start,is it noisy as soon as you push the start button?Please reply with additional information on the questions and I am sure I can help you.Looking forward to your reply.
Well, the only time the washer (speedqueen) is noisy on spin is if one or both the bearings are faulty. Normally when you get a leak, it means the hub/flange and seal kit need replacement and this also includes the top bearing because when soap suds leak past the seal assembly it drips directly onto the bearing. The acidic properties in the soap suds eats the grease in the bearing which ends up becoming defective. One can also get an anoying squeek if a bottom base gasket is worn or removed. This would be audible even on wash cycle.Conclusion, check the bearing on top of gearbox.
Is it just during the spin cycle that it machine is noisy or the noise is less during the wash cycle? Also is the noise a thumping type of noise or is it more of a whining or steady noise? If is a whining noise, it probally means that water has seeped past the seal and corroded the bearing of the washer. The noise is the failing bearing.
The drum balance ring cound be unliquified. Turn it when it is off. There should be sloshing. If there isn't, call in a repair man. He will try to fix it.
The rear bearing in most front loaders lasts an average of 5 years under normal usage. Spin the drum manually with your hand and seee if it is nice and smooth and quiet. If the bearing is ok it is probable that 1 of the shocks is broken on the bottom.
Remove drum drive belt, and spin drum by hand, if there is any resistance,. or it feels rough or noisy, the the main bearigs have probably failed.
If it is o/k then check motor for worn or noisy bearings,
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
It would be noisier than normal if it was not level.
Best way to tell if it is noisier than normal is to spin the drum by hand, there should be little or no noise from it.
If it is noisy or rumbling, or feels rough, then I would suspect that the drum bearings are worn and noisy.
An hour to complete a wash cycle is not abnormal, and they do do several rinses.
