Something else I forgot to say one thing else. The spinner sounds like it has a loose belt. I mean the motor starts up then the spinne accelerates. Thank you in advance for your reply. | ||

keep in mind, an empty spinner running will 'whistle' air thru the holes at high speed, a few TLers will do the same thing when empty...
when I worked at a shop, if it didn't whistle, there was something wrong.....not always, but something to keep in mind.... it is possible of a loose/worn belt....that goes also for the springs for tension for the pump.... | ||

Similar thoughts. I also was thinking the same about the belt. If something is in the spinner, it doesn't whistle. But if I put a plastic bag in it, it will stop the noise. Thank you for your response. | ||

I saw that.. ... But I ONLY need the seal, not the motor, but it could use a new one. The motor is rusted, but I think it should last a while. I have seen motors FAR more rusted than that. | ||

i was just thinking....
if you plan to keep & use that maytag A50 for quite a while, it doesn't hurt to have extra "spare" parts with you, for those "just in case" moments that we never think about & dread, when they do happen.
i know with my hoover 0510 twin tub, when i bought belts, i bought more than one and hoses, i only bought one (washtub to drain pump) cuz that was all i could find. but me & my way of thinking is, may as well buy what you can find right now cuz who knows if you will be able to find it again, later on down the line. especially with vintage or any twin tubs, since they are no longer being made here in the united states. but this is just my way of thinking. if you decide to go for them spare parts, good luck, i hope you get what you need (& "extras"). ;o) | ||

the spinner side parts....
here is the ebay link for the spinner parts from the same seller. maybe you can make an offer for just the part you need? or you can buy the whole lot to have the extra "spare" parts:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Maytag-A... and here is the other motor they have listed as well. maybe this is the motor like your's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Maytag-A... | ||
