The Scoop on Maytag Washer Parts and Repair Everyone has seen the ad with the Maytag washer repairmen asleep on his chair because no one ever asks. Now you know why he never asks them not because Maytag is not broken because they are setting themselves, because it costs too much. A puck is a real bummer broken too, because your only option besides wearing dirty clothes is upside down at the local laundry and hanging out with pimps, prostitutes and merchants while boosting your clothes washed in the machine.
Make maps and notes as you Go
Before you pull your Maytag, do yourself a favor and get a pencil, a roll of tape and a sheet of paper. As you disassemble your way through the machine, making cards and little notes of what happened where. Put all the little screws, nuts, bolts, washers and gaskets in little bags with their notes and map it stand alone and they came off.
Keep the screws bolts washers and gaskets
If done correctly, you should be left to an organization "mess" that you can put together without leftover "parts. Now, find the part you need to replace and remove screws, nuts and bolts of it, with the washers and put them in a bag. In this way, when your new part is that you have at hand if it does not come with them.
Part number and model number
Now, note the part number that is stamped or printed on the part you need. If this is not a part number on it, then you should go to the website now and find a map exploded diagram of your washer and identify your part and its number. Then, research your washer's model number and if you can not find it, then back to the company website you go. After all this is done, then you're ready to find the Maytag part you need online.
