Wondering if there's anything to do to extend maytag washer life? (I'm thinking right now for my 710) maybe draining oil and refilling if possible or any ideas? Do you just have to wait till the tub bearings fail... I read in one thread removing the inner tub to oil past a rubber seal, I think thats right. Seems if ya go that far might as well go all the way?

Is there a fill & drain hole on transmission or can oil only be replaced when its apart. Sounds like ya just wait till things get noisy then do a full fix. Guess the Maytag repairman needs something to do :-)
When I started the empty washer to see if timer was working it sounded dry, might just be from motor vibrations can't tell, but if bearings are getting ready to go, is there a way to test? When its a bit warmer will look under the washer, haven't gone there in 10 years... |
