Agi-tamer web site Here is the Agi-tamer web site. I have also seen a picture of another type of puller that used two long hooked arms but I do not have a part number for that. I am not sure if it was made by Maytag. CLICK HERE TO GO TO dnastrau's LINK | ||

Bleach Dispenser The rubber tube that connects the dispenser to the tub should be secured to the cabinet. If not, it will tick, slap or knock against the cabinet suring spin. | ||

Maytags gurgle when they begin to agitate and also after the drain, or at least mine do. alr2903 | ||

Maytag ticking...
My LA308 makes a sort of banging noise when the spin initiates. It always quiets by the time the spin is up to roughly full speed. I did replace the motor glide springs and that made no difference. I kind of think that the new belts I put on might be banging around a little bit on the underside of the baseplate. Agitation sounds completely normal. Honestly, the machine runs perfectly and seems to have no harm done other than a briefly annoying sound while throwing water.

Jon - it is a violent bang, or more of a tick? The hose for the water level pressure switch can sometimes bang in the cabinet as well, but that would be more of a tick than a bang.
I ran across an 806 quite some time ago that had a ruckus during initial spin but it would quiet up by the time full speed was reached. It ended up being the damper pads. Ben | ||

I got a Maytag stacked, used, which had new belts put on by the previous owner, and made a banging noise when it would start to spin, and the motor jumped a little erractic, this is why the guy was selling it...turns out the NEW belts had a "WIDE" spot that was barely noticable, but when it looped around the motor pulley was creating a racket.....I put a set of used belts I had on and its super quiet and runs smooth now

Does the pulley have a screw on it? Could a loose screw be the cause of the ticking noise, if so, I'll just need to tighten it up...I'm I right? If not, do you know the part number of the motor pulley to replace it with? | ||

Update
Ok, so I tilted the washer back today. The motor pulley was solid and had no give. What I did notice was that the skinny belt for the pump was rather loose. It was practically hanging there because of little tension applied to it. I thought that had to be what was banging around under there. I grabbed the old belt that was original to the machine (I had replaced them both when I got the washer) and popped the old pump belt on. It seemed to have better tension. Ran a test load and it was perfectly quiet...no noises of any kind.
I did replace motor glide springs which helped with agitation. Apparently not all belts are equal though. Could be something like that. The noise sounded almost like taking a belt you'd wear and lightly slapping it against the cabinet. That pretty much is what it was. FYI :-) Jon | ||

belts
I had bought NOS Maytag belts sealed in Maytag logo bags. The belts have Maytag written on them also. Now I suppose that doesn't mean Maytag didn't change their source for belts at some point. Anyways, who knows why they didn't stay consistent with belt sizes. That would make a big difference in performance!
