I've changed the belts on the 806 and have a problem with agitation. It speeds up and slows down during agitation, any ideas as to what is causing this? CLICK HERE TO GO TO autowasherfreak's LINK | ||

I don't work on Maytags very often, but did you clean the pulleys before putting on the new belts? | ||

I cleaned the pulleys. I just ran a small load through it, and it didn't slow down and speed up. The washer was set for suds return when I did the video. I don't know if this had anything to do with the slow down and speeding up or not. | ||

The belts are fine. The pump belt seemed a little loose, but once I put the front back on and bolted the top back down it tightened up a little but not to tight. I think I will replace the springs and rollers and see what happens. | ||

"There's a extra slot for a 3rd spring, I have on ocassion put a 3rd one on there, is this not advised, sometimes it seemed to slip too much, even after cleaning, for most part worked better...just wondered if I was doing damage to the machine..." You shouldn't need the 3rd spring. It won't hurt the machine, but it'll probably reduce the life of the motor and transmission belt a little bit. | ||

My local Maytag dealer has the kit for the same price as RepairClinic.com, and I don't have to pay for the shipping. | ||
