Help? I was hoping to see if anyone knew what this noise is. Link posted to the video here. On a separate note, I got new maytag rubber feet in the mail today. One of mine was disintegrated. And the others were not too pretty. CLICK HERE TO GO TO casciomichael's LINK | ||

Drain Pump Belt 
Check to make sure that the tension on the drain pump belt is no too loose. Just a thought. Have had tons of these Maytag's and never a sound like you are experiencing.
It does sound like the drain pump belt is slapping either the underside of the machine or the "belt guard" attached to the front panel. Just a thought. If I were you, I'd do a complete overhaul of such a nice machine. Yeah, it will take some time and elbow grease, but worth it! --Steven | ||

Its the trans/drive pulley that wobbles! The pump pulley feels tight. | ||

Its the pulley connected to the transmission!!! Transmission pulley is the one that wobbles not the motor or pump pulley. I have said this a few times already. | ||

Just a bit of clarification...
Hey Guys,
I have a set of 806's that I got last year. I am still learning a lot, so I am not the expert to address Mike's problem. However, the wobble he is referring to is with the "Large" Tub pulley at the center shaft of the machine. He is asking if anyone has encountered this, or an issue with the thrust bearing it rides against. I just thought I'd clarify his question, as I would like to know the answer/ info on this issue, since I am going over the belts/pulleys on my A806. Thanks guys. Louis | ||

Video of pulley wobbling Please look at this link of the drive pulley wobbling. Perhaps this will shed some light on this. Thanks! CLICK HERE TO GO TO casciomichael's LINK | ||

When you put the trans pulley back on, did you set the stop lug with the specified adjustment, per the service manual? Without the preloaded tension on the pulley I could see how it may wobble like that when at the bottom of the helix.

What color is your A806? White. 1966 model I believe. | ||

Locking lug I am going to recheck the locking lug. I believe it was on wrong when I pulled the pulley and I misunderstood the adjustment. To clarify, I need to turn the pulley clockwise until the tub starts to turn, then position the lug about 1/4-3/8 away from the pulley? | ||

To clarify...
Maytag went back and forth on this procedure over the years - either fully turn the pulley until the spring is fully disengaged within the brake, or turn the pulley just enough that it starts to push against the rotor in the brake.
Others probably have their own preferences for this procedure. I typically turn it just enough to just start putting pressure against the brake and install the drive lug (flat side against the pulley), in range of 3/8" clearance against the pulley lug, rather than holding the tub or trans in place with one hand, and attempt to put the drive lug on 180" opposite of the pulley lug with a third hand. You'll know you got it right if the agitator doesn't start part of it's stroke before the tub begins to spin. If so, try again with a bit less clearance between the two lugs with the pulley against the brake rotor. Ben | ||

Thanks for the clarification I was confused with the procedure as I have seen both. I suspect it was incorrect when i pulled the cover off and it definitely is incorrect now. I am going to try the slight tension method first as it seems easier with only two hands. I will report back. | ||

 Our belt-eating '97 Amana used to make a sort of clicking sound when it was time for yet another replacement. I agree that the Gates belt could be what's making the noise. If you can find an OEM belt from Maytag in Newton, it would be worth it. If not, the current Whirlpool-sourced belt with part number referenced above would be the next best thing. | ||

willing to ship it by any chance Yeah, I could do that. Probably won't be cheap however. | ||

Nice tub-light upgrade!
Michael, great observations. With a new Maytag/FSP sourced drive belt, new glides, and a cleaned up motor carriage with a fresh coat of poly-lube, and a properly adjusted pump belt, your Maytag will be back in tip-top shape.
One recommendation would be to clean the motor and transmission pulley. They don't need to be shining bright, but you'll want to clean off any rust or belt material that was left behind from the Gates belt. Ben | ||

moving up and down during the spin up. Something is worn or loose, the carriage shouldn't have that much vertical play. | ||

Motor glides and lube I believe you are correct. Pulley should be flush with the shaft. | ||
