Maytag MVWB835DW3 transmission replacement

when assembling: using a credit card, check the clearence of the tub nut. There is a 1/4" gap under the nut, a ridge, then the seat (another 1/4"). I ended up using a nail hammer to tighten down the nut. I seated it (noticible) then tightened it about an extra 1/16 - 1/8 turn. Still need to replace the impeller(12-04-22).
Replacing the "transmission" or bearing on a Maytag Bravo washing machine. Some tools: 7mm socket, 10 mm, 11mm, 1/4", impact driver, 3/8 to quickrelease adapter, T30 bit/drive, box knife, TB123 (ebay), 6" & 9" extension, 1/4 to 3/8 adapter, flat blade screw driver, hammer, and a rubber malot. - Keep whispering to yourself optimism: you've got this: just a walk in the park: slow and stead wins the race. - Replace the hoses, yes its another 36 bucks, but then they wont leak for another 5 years. May want a new nut for the inner tub. When it's on its side, position your feet at the bottom and pull the washer from the top towards your lap.

Love the video I was watching different videos Everybody keep removing tub I don’t think I will be doing it I will just replace transmission Thanks again 👍🏻

[@tomharvey307]

Thanks for the great video. Instead of using the TB123 I found a bicycle bottom bracket wrench worked. I used a dead low hammer and worked it loose.

Just some additional info: There was a metal/rubber ring on the bottom of the inner tub that I had to pry off. I was nervous that it was supposed to be there but I eventually was able to leverage the nail removal side of a hammer to lever it off. The new transmission came with the ring mounted on the shaft already. I knew it had to be removed because the old transmission was missing this rubber/metal ring, so it obviously stuck in the inner tub. I also hit all the galvanized looking metal with a wire brush and lubed the new seals with dish soap to help with install. I didn't check the tightness of the nut like the poster said. I use a small framing hammer to tighten the nut. It was easy, then got a little difficult as everything started to seat (would only move maybe an inch or two with each wack), and then I could immediately tell when it was done turning. It seems you probably can't overtighten this thing if you just hit it with a a moderate amount of force.

Awesome reply. Thank you for the framing hammer idea. Nice job getting it fixed.

[@KJ7JHN]

use a credit card to check the tightness of the motor/impeller nut. If the nut is too loose, as I found out, it'll knock/clack as it agitates. Once I tightened and seated the nut more the clacking went away. At this point, I forwent the rubber mallet and used a painters hammer on the tool. I think it may have worked better than the mallet, just make sure not to whack the tub.

[@gregorystatt5562]

Just pop that agitator plate off. Lol. That is rare. Usually, thats the hardest part of the operation 😂.

where is the location of the shifter i could not see it ?

[@KJ7JHN]

this is a direct drive unit. there is no shifter. the pulses are controlled by a 3 phase motor. I may not be following your question. There may be a clutch in the transmission. But I really think it uses swapping AC polarities to oscillate the tub.

[@masterpieceIII]

@@KJ7JHNI found out that the shifter has been replaced by a Magnetic Clutch that is the responsible to engage or disengage the spin or the wash function

[@rican8316]

Where’d you buy the transmission

[@KJ7JHN]

This is the title of the sale on ebay: W11393685 Whirlpool Washer Gearcase NEW OEM. However the page is no longer there. If you do order this transmission, make sure you get a spanner wrench also. The purchase total was 184.27. from mrfixit101101

[@rican8316]

Thanks I’ll look into it. Appreciate the video and response

[@masterpieceIII]

How much a new transmission cost ?

[@KJ7JHN]

$150 ish

[@rican8316]

Did everything but now it won’t fill with water 😣

[@KJ7JHN]

I'm so sorry! Are the water valves open? ... I have no suggestions other than check that the filters are clean on the back.

[@rican8316]

@@KJ7JHN had to run Service Diagnostics Verification Cycle. I did buy another stator & clutch. But I’m sure I didn’t have to cuz it did the same thing. Only this time I ran the code 051. Thanks for your video!!

Their machines are crap. What kind of stupid engineer doesn't put stainless steel in a washtub ? Ours is pretty new at about 6 or 7 years old. Last cheapie washer lived for more than 20 years and washed great. No bells and whistles. Transmission failed on that one, and the cheapest replacement I could find was a little over $300. So we got this piece of crap, that has me in a mood to do a really scathing Google Review. Called them and they suck as well. Useless customer service nitwits that don't know what day of the week it is, much less help you fix machine. " Bored Maytag Repairman " commercial is bs as well .

unfortunately such is the way of capitalism.

[@thatguy-wo7cd]

Hey buddy, what was your issues, as to why you had to replace? Making weird noise and not turning? Or switching to agitate?
