Mark. Thank you so much! Our plastic splines were fine but it is still not agitating enough to move the towels. Bucket is moving a couple of inches at a time but towels standing still. Could there be another issue? Wish it was just the splines

I just wanted to thank you so VERY much for this video! I hired a service guy to come see what my problem was with my Maytag washer and he advised me it was the Hub. He also informed me that when removing the wash plate that sometimes it breaks. He proceeded to tell me that he could not guarantee it would not break and therefore it would/could cost upwards of $300 to repair my 5 year old washer. My husband and I decided to purchase a new machine and paid the guy $75 for his visit. After watching your video last night, I decided to try removing the wash plate myself, following your instruction on tapping the screw (after loosening it) with a hammer. It working PERFECTLY!!! And I did not have to remove the front panel. I removed the hub and sure enough, it was totaling smoot, with no "teeth". I called Fox Appliance in August, GA and purchased the part for $26.00!! I replaced the hub (along with a new screw) and put everything back together and it works fantastic!! Thank you for saving me a pile of money!! May God Bless you!!

Mark, great job on this video. I just completed the repair. I did need an impact wrench to remove the bolt. Getting the wash pan out was extremely difficult. I ended up pouring boiling water on the bolt/shaft area like someone had recommended in the comments. I waited a while, but it still wouldn’t come off. Then I strung a shoelace under the pan and tried to remove it. Still wouldn’t go. Then I tried pulling up on both ends of the shoelace while using the hammer to tap down on the shaft. That made it pop off! The rest was not very hard. Without this video I couldn’t have done it. Thanks!

Tip to remove shaft bolt: use an impact wrench. Tip to remove wash plate, building upon approach in this video: soak the shaft overnight with liquid wrench or similar product, and the next day, you will need a second person, you can take two small allen wrenches (get the biggest that will still fit in the small drain holes), each very tightly clamped with vice grips, and using the allen wrench (bent end), snag two opposing holes in the wash plate, as close to the shaft as possible. Have the second person pull up as hard as possible on the vice grips (ie, pulling up the wash plate). While they are pulling up, and with the shaft bolt "backed out" a few turns (i backed out a few more than he did) as described in this video, smack the shaft bolt with great impulse. Since there is no room to swing a full-size hammer in the wash basin, I used a long breaker bar, sitting on the shaft bolt, so I had room to swing a full size hammer above the machine. After 3 attempts, it finally broke loose! Our machine had 4 1/2 years use, and both the shaft bolt and wash plate were seized. The hub splines were completely smooth. Take care to line up the new hub such that the hub screw holes are aligned. Note also the new hub will not immediately slide all the way on, even after trying to tap it down. Worry not. As you tighten the screws in crisscross star pattern, like you do when tightening lug nuts on a car wheel, it will pull itself down flat to the surface.

This worked for me. On my machine, I didn't even need to take anything off but the insert. So I wasted time taking off the lid items. Drum didn't need to come out either. So if you are attempting, try taking out the base first to see if you need to do anything else. Also, the shoestring method is a MUST. Only way my base came off. Worked great. Thanks!

Wonderful video and helped me with my own Maytag bravos repair. Tips- I attempted the repair without removing the wash basket at first... but yeah in the end it was better to remove it and attach the new part to the basket without trying to fight the splines on the shaft. I couldn't get it to seat properly until the basket was removed from the washer. This guy had the right method and it's only a couple more steps to do it this way. Also... I am a proud owner of a new short handle sledge hammer from harbor freight which was needed in my case to break the metal-to-metal splines loose. Sometimes you really do need a bigger hammer, bigger as in weight, but smaller shaft to fit in the washer lol. Good luck to anyone watching in the future. You can do it. Cheers.

Thanks for the video and the links. The washplate cost $31.35 and the hub was $11.88. I did not remove the wash basket. The hardest part of the job was removing the washplate. I wedged several putty knives under the edges while dropping a ball pean hammer on the bolt head. My hub was actually OK, but the washplate splines were completely gone. If the new one fails the same way, I'll drill sideways through it and the shaft and install a long bolt to lock them together.

Thanks for the video !! I realized I could do this job after watching. I did take your advice at the end. This is a much easier job if you only remove the agitator plate at the bottom. I used a 1/2" cordless impact to remove the 7/16 bolt. Removing the plate was a bit of a chore, I used your trick by leaving the socket on the bolt head ans smacking it with a hammer. I also used a very small spray of WD40, and some plastic tools I have for removing interior panels on cars. Once the plate was off, the rest of the job was straight forward as you displayed in your video. The only advantage to removing the top, and basket is it makes it easier to remove all the change, but I was able to remove almost all of it with a small pair of needle nose, and patience. The entire job took me about 40 minutes, ten of that was getting the change out. I didn't have to move the washer, I didn't even unplug it ( not suggested) . Thank you again, videos like yours have saved me thousands of dollars, and I sincerely appreciate folks like you who take the time.

If you have a spare wire clothes hanger handy you can make a handle to help remove the wash plate. Cut the twisted part off the hangar. Make a 90 degree bend on each end of the hanger. Feed the bent ends into holes on opposite sides of the wash plate. Use holes toward the outside of the wash plate so you have room to use the hammer. Gently pull up on the hanger while taping the wash plate bolt with a hammer or mallet. If you pull too hard the hanger ends will straighten out before it enlarges or tears the holes. The hub was my issue, teeth were ground off. Your video helped make quick work of it once I used the hanger to make a handle tool.

I immdeiately stopped what I was doing, put the bottom end back together flipped washer back up and began working on the part you replaced...(no need to remove tub). I had previously tried working the washplate by hand and would get that same grinding sound. pulled the hub off and immediatley noticed the splines were wore down. while we have a big appliance parts warehouse here in town, the needed part was not in stock.

What a crock of crap Maytag you rip offs. Your products used to be good. By the way these hubs are about $17 on Amazon. You don't have to take the whole tub out either. Also using channel locks to get the agitator plate out, just beware. My son did it and cracked the whole thing. A new agitator plate is $100. Definately use the loctite when putting it all together. The first few times we replaced the hub the bolt came loose after a few weeks. And then I panicked thinking it was broken again. We have alot of boys and need a washer daily. Do yourself a favor. Don't buy this washer ever though, it's aweful. But if your watching this, you probably realize it now too. Helpful video Thanks.

My wife washes 3+ heavy loads on the Bulky setting daily so I'm thinking this is a small cheap fix that I don't mind doing every few years or so. My other problem though is that I need to replace the balancing springs.

Oh yes, same as you I learned the hard way to never buy Maytag again. This washing machine is a headache from day one. Thanks for other tips. I was thinking of not using loctite but now I will.

We are having this issue now too. We bought it new from Lowe’s 2 years ago and had troubles from day one. It wouldn’t spin at all then we finally figured it out and now ours agitates 3 quick times real loud and shuts off. We can’t figure out what’s wrong. Worst washer we’ve ever had.

Thank you for this! Definitely will save me $200 next time. For my washer it's always the hub, and only takes the techs 2-5 minutes to replace it. They don't even take it apart. They just take off agitator. Wondered why so easy lol. Thank you!

Good video but realised afterwards that all i needed to do was pop the center cap for the agitator plate and remove without taking anything else off. My problem was the actual agitator plate was worn not the hub.

I think I might remove the tub like you did. U need to clean the shaft so the hub will go down far enough to put the shaft connector back in. Btw, when I remove tub rings, I usually push down on it right above the clip I am in clipping then unsnap the clip. The tub rings I have dealt with have a rubber like seal under them. This seal allows you to push down just enough to pull the snaps off the clips by hand. I have worked in a lot of appliances. This is the first time doing this repair. One more thing, glad you didn’t let that screw or two you dropped get away from you! I use a towel it rag over the slits around the basket in case I let one get away from me.

My washer has been making a faint noise while hardly agitating. Fingers crossed this is exactly the fix I need.
