Eugene thank you for the detailed video. I have 25 yo Maytags just like that that have performed flawlessly all these years and are getting to the point of needing some tlc. I appreciate you posting these. Take care

I recently had a leak in my older Maytag washer. I found this video and did exactly what this gentleman did, including having to cut off the spanner nut with a small grinder because it was so frozen on. I ordered a tub seal from Amazon at half the price Maytag and other distributors wanted for it. I did not replace the sleeve bearing, probably a mistake but it seemed fine. I followed all directions, put the washer back together and it now works good as new. Thanks man!

[@albertcarello619]

@tommyagnew: I had a 1992 Maytag with the vary same issues. I wish I had gotten that machine fixed by a professional. I bought a2018 Speed Queen TR5 SERIES WASHER which is rated by Consumer Reports as poor washing performance.

[@AbrahamTejeda-g3z]

To the author of this video thank you very much it helped me fix my washer machine and I would like to leave a awesome review👍🏽

[@dukecraig2402]

It's $400 for his bearing and seal kit, for another $50 to $100 I can get a new Maytag of the same capacity, why in the world would anyone spend that kind of money to fix one thing and still have everything else in it 20 years old and waiting to break themselves? Sorry but I'll just spend another $50 to $100 and get everything brand new, that's just insane how much those parts cost, no wonder there's no appliance repair shops anymore.

[@jandevilliers7872]

Good day Eugene , i have been watching some of your videos the last few days, you are giving people so much good advice. Even you make yourself unpopular to tell the truth. Thank you for your honesty and advice. Keep it up Sir. God bless you. Regards Jan De Villiers

[@robertmartin3194]

Eugene! You gotta review a Miele washer one of these days! PLEASE! 🙃

[@whosdash1t]

Great video boss!! All the details necessary to get the job done without any annoyingly unnecessary commentary you find with other videos. Helped me a great deal! I thank you sir!

[@manishagrawal900]

Very nicely explained. Each step is too the point. Thanks

[@maxshadow...]

You're the man Eugene. Love watching you do a tear down / rebuild.

[@timsholley4315]

I watched your baring replacement on the front load neptune..Neptune... I gotta say that I watch a lot of vedios here on KZbin and you have got to be the BEST person I've watch that clearly showed step by step instructions on how to do something. Thank you for that. Your instructions got the job done.

[@garyblum7945]

Can you tell me what the white plastic half ring is that's just above the sleeve/threads in your video? Is that supposed to look like that? Thanks. GB

[@ScantPear]

You only need to loosen the 1/4 inch agitator screw only a little bit and then pull it off

[@OwnYourOwnBus101]

I hate when those spanner nuts freeze up. It’s not uncommon at all. Nice to know how to get those loose. I usually make a mark on the tub to make sure that Allen screw on the mounting stem doesn’t fall into one of the recess groves when reinstalling it. It is hard work but worth it in the long run. Thanks for posting!

[@nofilter5623]

It's not uncommon...double negative

[@joelwendler8247]

I would tighten the center nut first before the 3 tub bolts. To make sure it is down all the way. Also I would replace the spring clamps with all stainless hose clamps to keep the rust to a minimum. I used silicon grease to lube the rubber parts for easy assembly and a little on the bearing. It won't affect rubber parts and is totally water and heat resistant. My cork gasket had a gap so I had to carefully remove it and reglue it with shoe glue or contact cement.Thanks for a wonderful video.

[@patricksantini4090]

Enjoyed the video as always...Eugene. That model was when Maytag was still manufactured by Maytag... Those were solid built machines and lasted a long time... Steel outer tub was better than plastic.... Oh nice upper arms too... Ha Ha...

[@awesomeness2571]

i came across your channel recently and this is the first video i'm watching with you in it. is it just me or do you look like the dad from pixar's inside out??

[@jimtomassetti4817]

Great vidio Eugene. Every time you break a machine down. It's like brand new when it's complete. Your the best Eugene!!!

[@cgappliancetelevision2315]

Awesome work, Eugene. I've always used laundry soap on seals that are going to have water touching them. I don't think a light film of oil is going to hurt anything or show up in laundry. Just a me thing. Plus, I've done most of these in laundry rooms. So soap or fabric softener was the closest lubricant. Do you just use electric motor oil?

[@thomasdworek7397]

Would like to order that parts package.Could you send me the info ..Great well done 👍

[@martin1b]

Great to watch. When I did mine, I also lightly lubed the inside of the sleeve bearing above the transmission. Likely won't seize as that one did.

[@patricksantini4090]

Second time I watched this video... Still a fantastic video.. Those older Maytag's were the best ever... Plus like another fan said, you look HOT in your wife-beater shirt... It's the arms!!! But again love a great restored top load center washer.. they are the best...

[@scooterdover2771]

Next time when testing for leaks, throw the wife-beater in for good measure.

As an old Maytag repairman it great to see an older machine be repaired. I gotta replace the seal on my LAT9706 myself. Thanks for the refresh.

Does definitely save me time and money! I appreciate the work you put in to share this information.

[@matthewsummers1390]

This is a all around excellent job! Great explanations and filming. I followed this to repair the same model machine. A few tips I would add. Use a torch to heat around the torx set scew. If it strips out, I don't know how you would get it out! Take care that you place the inner tub concentric with the outer tub. Mine wasn't and created a noise during spin cycle as the inner tub rubbed on the plastic tub cover. Fortunately, i was able to loosen the tub nut and readjust.

Thanks for this video mate. Insanely helpful. I made a spanner for the tub seal nut but it would not budge an inch! Had to cut it with the dremel - same with the bearing. Thanks again, would have been a struggle without this video. All the best.

[@littlegreeny8510]

They sure don't build them like that anymore. The quality of your restorations is amazing.

[@dougwright5014]

you had me at 1/4 inch nut driver

[@maifreund4121]

Good video! The replacement parts I got for the tub seal had 4 parts - The top nut to hold the inner drum, the spring-loaded seal, the cone-shaped mounting stem AND A TEFLON RING that had to be carefully seated in the underside of the mounting stem prior to installing the mounting stem on the shaft. The teflon ring will allow the mounting stem to slip around the carbon face of the seal during spin cycle. NB kits from several years ago had the teflon ring imbedded in the underside of the mounting stem - Apparently that OLDER type kit was used in this video.

[@pwilson920]

Excellent! Thank you.

Hi Eugene! I got a 97 Dependable Care, is it worth doing one of these kits before it fails?

My "tub cover" seems to be leaking after repairing all the seals in the tub. Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Do you have the newer style that snaps into place like the machine in this vid or the older style with the metal clamp and triangular seal?

[@cindyjohnson5242]

@@muziklvr7776 thanks for answering. I didn't notice any clips holding the seal. It just snapped in. I think my machine is a little older, but looks just like the video. Mine's from 1994.

@@cindyjohnson5242 The seal may not be lined up properly or has gone bad. 1994 is when Maytag went to the new design tub cover, sounds like yours is one of the very first batches.
