Question about Maytag Legacy Series Top Load Washer

2 Answers

Water leak I have a maytag legacy series top loader. I have a presumed main bearing seal leak. However, I can't seem to figure out how to remove the round "disk" above the seal. (the one with the shaft going through it) Any help would be great. Thanks

If the main seal is leaking there will typically be a splash line around the inside of your washer cabinet. There is a special wrench available for removing the large nut that holds the inner basket in. This nut is aluminum and can be removed with a chissel if it is stuck. remove the inner basket and you will see cone shaped "NUT" that is covered in cork. There is a torx screw on the side of the cone shaped piece. once the screw is removed then the cone shaped nut can be removed using the special wrench and brute force.

How to resolve a noisy bearing
the bearings only become noisy if water has leaked past the main seal and into them in which case if its a top loader you will need to replace both bearings the main seal and shaft, it can be quite costly. if its a front loader you will need the main seal and both bearings and will cost twice as much as the top loader as it takes quite alot longer to do

My maytag legacy series top load washer sav405deww makes a horrible grinding noise. It also doesn't drain and seems to spin slowly when it decides to even spin. I've replaced the belt and the pulley wheel...
That grinding noise your hearing is most likely the center bearing in a maytag they are usally very easy to break and mainly because when they make maytags they dont put the right type of grease on the bearing itself which causes the machines not to last the 10 years that we all think they could. This repair is honestly not worth the amount of money that it would cost to repair I've seen technicians price this job out between 450 as a low and 600 as a high and considering you can buy a brand new top loader for 2-400 it really isnt worth the effort in trying to resurect the machine. Please also note maytags are notorious for the center bearings disintergrating because of poor factory assembly. Sorry about the bad news. when looking for a new washer if your going with a top loader stick to the whirlpool there easy to fix cheap for parts and last alot longer. Please remember to rank this opinion and if i can answer any further questions please message me back. Thanks again (p.s. on whirlpool make sure if you buy a new one you ask if the drive couple has metal around the shaft dont get the plastic one they let go in two years and then techs charge 180 bucks to repair a 6 dollar part)

Loud spin cycle - leaks water
No boot on a top loader, the tub seal and bearing are gone, water leaked from the tub seal, rusted the bearing and quite possibly the milk stool and transmission. Check your warranty, the transmission may have a 5 year limited warranty, usually it will include the tub seal and bearing with the kit.

Maytag legacy series washer leaking
Price is right. Repair time is right for an inexperienced repairman. Worth it ? If you watch what you are doing and not rush then, yes, it's worth it.

Maytag Legacy Series Leaking
I have the same problem as many other Maytag owners of this model machine have. I spoke to a repairman and he told me to "junk" the machine. He said the cost was about $300 to $350 to fix and he WOULD NOT guarantee his work on this machine. He said that Maytag knew of the problem but refused to do any sort of a recall.
My solution:
1. Buy another machine and junk the Matag
2. Tell all your frends and neighbors NOT TO BUY MAYTAG...
3. Drop the old machine off on the MAYTAG door step.
