The tech has never before worked on a Dependable Maytag. He is a Whirlpool trained tech. I see a new washer in the wings before he's done with his attempts. |

That's why taking pictures also helps. You can see where parts go back together after something like this happens. This is terribly upsetting without a doubt. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. |

The transmission is totally out of the equation during the spin cycle. If your machine has the older top cover that's sealed by a triangular gasket and aluminum clamping band, he probably shoved the top cover all the way down, jamming it against the inner tub. Jammed top cover against inner tub = no spin. It's a common misconception overlooked by rookies.
I'd hate to imagine what this poor soul would do to a belt drive WP/KM if he can't handle a Maytag :( |

Thanks for the info. I printed your reply and I'll drop it off in the morning. Thanks again for your help. You're becoming a knight in shining armour. |

If he needs visual aids, here's the thread RCD posted on a tub bearing/stem seal replacement on my HA806. Post# 392933 shows the tub top, triangular seal, and clamp. I believe your mothers washer still utilized that older design.

Oy, they're just blindly throwing parts at problems that don't even exist. The pulley/spin bearings rarely ever go bad, and when they're on their way out, you'll know it in advance!
A shame I'm so far away or I would have been more than happy to have fixed any issues for free, if there were any to begin with. |
