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 |

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 |

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? |

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 |

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!
