We are having the same issue with our townhouse on the gulf, very hot and humid. We will be there in 2 weeks and plan to try this. Thank you!

Following up- how did this work? Did the gasket solve your issues? We're having the same electronic issues with humidity. Thanks!

Yea .. its seized. That's the trick. How do you get enough torque on it to unsieze it and keep that agitator plate from rotating.

I can’t get this cover off for the life of me!

Thanks for doing this video! I gave the exact same wash machine and there are issues with the agitator. It seems it my be the washplate bit if it isnt the issue then is the transmission. Thank you for pinning the top comment, too! That'll save me some time if i need to replace the transmission. God bless you for all of your help and willingness to post some advice that'll help the next person.

Hi i just stumbled upon this video as I am having issues myself. I have had the lock replaced 4 times already, and now working on my 5th. Have you had any more issues since you installed this gasket? I am also in the SETX area with high humidity.

Awesome video. Can’t believe I found this haha. Do you think this would work for preventing heat from transferring from the door to the lock?

Worthless video... doesn't demonstrate how to use or adjust it.

You're an actual life saver! Doing the lords work lol

Thanks for the great explanation and step by step video, you did an outstanding job!

name an easy job look so hard

Good video but I must be doing something wrong. Cannot stay on the glide path. Help.

I fixed the transmission but not it won’t fill with water. Any idea?

I have this exact same model and I found a pretty easy way to get the agitator plate off is to take 2 shoestrings and push both underneath the edges and then tie them together and pull upward

Great Video, huge help. I wonder, was there a reset or calibration needed after replacement of this transmission.

I had the exact problem and couldn't find a video based on my description. Luckily I stumbled across this repair video and it worked perfect. Very good job on the step by step description. My wash machine is a Maytag MVWB765FC2 but seems almost identical except my agitator is the taller style. Same process. Thanks again!!!

Does anyone know if the gear case contains grease inside?

Does anyone know if the o-rings or seals are available for purchase?

Thank you so much! I just had my 2nd one fail within 3 days. It’s drenched. Any chance I can buy one from you?

great video, I am trying something different but if it does not work I will try this. Thanks for the video.

I used the flat end of my 6 foot post hole digging bar to pound the shaft of the transmission through the bottom of the tub. Worked like magic!

Did you put a new rotor on too?

Thanks so much! My machine is older but similar- you saved me a bunch of money!

Thanks for taking the time and recording you saved me a bunch of time and money👍🏼.

Does that shaft does move in two pieces

Curious if you think this could have been done without pulling the inner tub? My agitator plate came up relatively easily, just have to pull straight. It's the dang large nut that does not want to move on mine. I've got a plumbing wrench that sort of fits the nut, but looks like I'll be buying the spanner wrench.... Thanks for the video.

Have you had any trouble with your washer leaving dark stains on your clothes since replacing the transmission? Since doing the maintenance our maytag has done this. Any idea what it could be?

I had a big nut I had to remove 1st so you don't break the water balancer ring off the top of the drum. Hope that helps someone

Just got done. Took roughly 3 hours from start to finish. Beating out the transmission was a bear. Ended up using an asphalt tamper to get more leverage and a 2 pound sledge. That in itself took an hour and a half. Thank you for this video!

Awesome tutorial! Made approaches butter! 50-60FPM here everytime!

17/16 bolt lol

Fantastic presentation on this newer model! Only one I could find similar to my unit. Very smart to use plumber's lube on the seal. My unit failed after 9 months under waranty. Still waiting on the manufacturer's parts for the clutch. Two months waiting! Rotor screw came loose and caused the failure to drive parts.

Great video!! Question wy you changed the transmission because it wasn't working??

Great video! This helped me see if it was something I could fix and gave me the confidence to know I wasn’t going to mess something up. Thank you!!!

My washer just hit 3yrs old and it’s making a horrible sound on the spin cycle. Isn’t this transmission covered by the Maytag 10 yr warranty??

Thank you for this! I didn't hit Alt twice lol, floated right over the runway at 3000

Was yours leaking water as well along with the noise...

Thank you so much for this video! Brilliant!

Any suggestions on why the machine clanks during aggitation now? With the new transmission?

Clayton, is there any way to get this unit to put the correct amount of water in it while it washes? My machine was obviously designed by Greta thunburg!

Hi Clayton. I was wondering if this part is attached to the Drive motor.

Thanks for the video. Stuck on one thing. What is the size of the spanner 🔧 for the splin shaft nut.

You can skip a whole lot of steps if you actually want to go to the expense of buying the parts to make this repair you only need to remove four bolts on the bottom and the wash plate and spanner nut could a 23-in 2x4 miter the end so you can fit it up inside the tub easily put a piece of wood on top of the transmission to protect it in case you're not replacing it put a bottle check in between the 2x4 and on top of the transmission spine couple clicks with your hand and it'll slide out like butter no need to remove the top no need to remove the tub unless you want to

where did you get the replacement transmission?

Thank you for video. I didn’t remove inner drum. I supported and gently tapped about 2-3 times on top with a sledge and it released. Mine may not have been as corroded. Saved quite a bit of time. Just as a note for others tackling same job.

Do you need to replace the whole transmission or can you just replace the bearings and shaft? Meaning is this all one big part?

Thank you Clayton, great video, this got me off to a successful project. I adapted a few things; unscrewed the transmission first, used a scissor jack braced with a 2x4 into the shoulder of tub top (against the metal not the plastic) to press the tub off the transmission shaft which dropped to the floor. Also, I have an agitator tower that required a 12" extension to reach with an electric drill - I couldn't get the leverage with a hand tool. I had to tap the tub back on the new shaft by simply using the same 2x4 and dead blow carefully around the shaft until seated. Repairs are costly in my neighborhood, this saved me easily $300 in labor.

How can I determine if I need a new transmission, or only a new washplate? It looks like they might both be stripped where they make contact but it's difficult to tell because the transmission looks like the teeth aren't very deep to begin with.
