Thank you for this advice, really grateful for Maytag did not feel customers needed to know this info. To me you are better than Maytag repair people. Thanks again and God bless.

I have been trying to figure out where the filters are on our old LAT9700AAW model MayTag for a while and this video saved the day! We were able to clean out the whole underside and I’m hoping this fixes the white residue on black clothes issue. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@lynnedawson2595]

Thank you so much for posting. Our machine is 30 years old and I've been trying to find the filter for ages...

[@marychoran4038]

Thank you so much for this clear and concise video. I was able to clean out my screens and underneath the agitator for the first time in 15 years! Great job!

Thank you so much for this video!!!! I was having a heck of a time finding my Maytags washing machine filter, and had no idea how to remove the agitator. 1/4" socket later and I finally did it!

[@stchakerian250]

Glad I could help!

Thanks super handy and straightforward, I saw the same problems as below. The manual says it self cleans but obviously that is not totally true.

[@erichcranor3549]

On my similarly old washer (I also don't know the year) that bolt is actually a 1/4". I mention this because it's so hard to feel what's happening in that awkward position that I wasted way too long with a 5/16 thinking it was failing to seat on the bolt or something like that.

[@pinkdragonflycmf]

Thanks. When we figured it wasn't a 5/16 I came to the comments to figure out the correct size.

[@zhenhuanyuan6825]

simple but very helpful video. Thank you!

[@kw717]

Thank you. Will try it out. My GE washer also gives me the lint issue. Who would design the lint filter like this?! All my old washers used decades ago already had the lint traps right at the wall of washing tub for ease of cleaning. I don't understand GE....

[@kentuckyleigh9623]

Omg THANK YOU! I’m taking the agitator out to the garden hose with dawn! That’s ok right? But as far as cleaning up all that accumulated gunk in the bottom what do u just clean it up and wipe out as much of the nasty residue/muck as u can then put the agitator back on and run a few cleaning cycles through it? Because u can’t run an empty/cleaning load without the agitator to get rid of all the gross stuff still half stuck on right? I know you remove the screens, this one has 2, so I will do that but Someone please let me know!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@stchakerian250]

Yes you can clean the inside of the agitator the best you can before installing it. The same for the bottom of the tank. Not sure if you can run without the agitator. Take care and be safe.

Thank you!

[@elainemaclean2234]

Thanks...we have Maytag washer of a similar vintage. Not sure how old - when we opened it up as you demonstrated, there were two screens, not one. Now I'd love to get at the drum and clean it, as I can see a lot of lint around the top rims. Any advice for doing this?

[@alennatchakerian2334]

Great that you were able to follow the video and clean the screens. It will not be easy task to remove the drum completely. The front of the washer will have to be disengaged (springs at the bottom and top), the top cover will tilt back 90 degrees. Now to remove the drum you will need a special spanner wrench to remove the large bolt attached to the main shaft....then etc... One of these days I will post another video to demonstrate this....as I still did not get rid of all the lint 100%. !!

[@elainemaclean2234]

@@alennatchakerian2334 OK...I'll watch for it. I really appreciate your style...no wasting our time with unnecessary chatter, just a clear audio/visual of the actual process/technique.

[@alanoud8918]

Please, I want a method for a Maytag washing machine filter + a method for cleaning the entire washing machine + and the meanings of the buttons

[@denisewhitehead656]

Hello having a problem with my washer sounds like the drum is coming out when it spins , had it fixed but it still making that noise, could it be rhe rubber is missing.?

[@stchakerian250]

It seems there is something loose or came apart after they fixed. Hopefully you got it fixed. Sorry for the delayed response

​@stchakerian250 I have the same model and the same issue, called one day May Tag costumer service, and told her the model number. The worker by phone told me it was made as I remember 1996, so it’s 26 year old
