Belts
Replacing Maytag belts is quite possibly the easiest and fastest repair in recorded history. I just did the belts on my A208 and it took all of about 2 and a half minutes. Tilt the machine back, the motor slides and releases belt tension. Tilt, remove old belts, install new ones, put the machine level again. The belts are different sizes so you can't screw up the installation. Just be sure to use genuine Maytag belts, they cost about $23.00 a pair at my local Maytag dealer. When you are finished, just be sure to make sure that all 4 legs touch the ground (my laundry room has an uneven tile floor) and the machine is level. A tilting machine will bounce, bang, and walk during spin. Since this machine is in daily use, it's probably a good idea to get a plastic drip pan in case of a future leak. They are about $20.00 at Home Depot or Blowe's and are a good insurance policy for any machine, regardless of type or age. Good luck, it sounds easy, Dave | ||
