And welcome.
There is a older thread here titled " Moving a Maytag E" just type it into the search. It's Larry's thread. He shows the whole brake down on this machine. Yours is a N model, but its pretty much the same design. The part you may need is a rubber stop ring, and yes, you can still get that part, as well as others. Let us know, and We'l hook you up with the sources. However as I read your post, I wondered if you knew that the agitator is supposed to come off? This is so you can clean the lint screen under the agitator (that should be there) after each load. You don't want to put anything on your agitator to stick it on the post, so that it won't come off! It's supposed to come off? Your rubber stop ring, if its still there, may have gotten push up inside the agitator, disintegrated, or some thing. If you can show us pics, we can help you get to the bottom of this squeak LOL |

Is a couple of pics I mine. Maybe it will help.
It looks like you have not been removing your agitator, and cleaning after each load. And your lint screen is missing in action. The shaft coming up from the tub should have splines (groves) that interlock with the matching spines inside the agitator. There are 3 different places I've got parts from, but more often from Phil, at Phil's Maytag service. His shop # is 607 869-2263, cell 315 246-5518. Email ovidny@gmail.com He's very nice to talk with, and often times will figure out what you need, and post it as a buy it now on EBay. He also has the service manuals. A owners manuals may help also. |

Another suggestion, is to clean up that area with some "Barkeepers Friend" I order to remove some of the rust, and take some more pics, to send to Phil. Almost looks as if some modification was made, Phil will know if he can see it.
Or hopefully Geoff (another member) will come along, he'd know too. |

A gear puller would probably work on that. The failure of the bond on that agitator fitting wasn't unheard of back in the day. The owner of Ralph's Maytag Repair here in Burbank showed me a contraption he has for reaming the hole and pressing the new fitting into place. He has a drawer full of them(the fittings, not the contraption) |

Phil sells them, I believe it it inserted into the agitator, so what's int there now may have co come out. Unless your agitator fits now? The lint screen is needed with pump models to prevent something from lodging into the pump. If your is a gravity drain, it not as much of an issue.
I'd like to see more pics of your machine, if possible! |

Uh oh..... The part I bought from phil doesn't exactly fit. I don't know where to go from here. It fits on the washer itself, but not inside the agitator.... |

I think that whats inside your agitator has to be removed, and cleaned out, and the part Phil sent, has to be inserted into the agitator shaft. Have you contacted Phil to check, or sent him pics?
Also the Maytag guys may come along! You might get a hold of Geoff here in the forum, he the Maytag wringer go to guy! If you look him up here, you should be able to send him a email, and he may look in on this. |
