MAV7200AWW Maytag Washer - Instructions

1. ) Pulled washer away from wall 2. ) Disconnected power and removed supply hoses from valve 3. ) Removed valve mounting bracket from washer. With 8mm socket 4. ) Disconnected wiring harnesses from valve and removed valve from bracket with phillips screwdriver. 5. ) Installed new valve and completed repair in reverse order.

Needed a medium extension and a rachet a screw driver and a 13mm socket. I used a short screw driver and inserted in it the softer container and lifted it strait up to get the softner container out of the way. I used the medium extension to reach in the auger and loosen the small bolt holding the auger on the machine. Pulled it up and out. Reversed the above procedure and it was set to go. Total time about 8 to 10 minutes. Thank for all the help Kudos to all including Susan W.

it took a little longer to fix the lid switch becasue the you have to figure out how to install the switch after you takethe old one out. The old one popped out but the new one needs some twisting and pressure. It also is an ackward position to work in on the back of the washer front the front. I think the instructions could have been much better by warning the installer to pay attention when you take the old one out. But it worked and we fixed the problem for $22 and four days of waiting for the part.

just unplug the power , disconnect the wire from lid switch ,slide the lid switch assembly out off the switch housing . Then reverse the action I just did above and the machine work again.

Removed old agitator, and installed new one. Very easy.

On this particular model #MAV7550AWW Maytag washer, you do not remove a back panel since it is a three sided case. I first disconnected power and hoses from wall. Removed the belt from under the machine (you need to tilt the machine). To access the water pump you need to remove the front panel by first sliding a putty knife between the top of the machine and the panel slide it in about 2 inches from the edge to release the latch, repeat the procedure on the other side. On the inside or the panel about 2 inches there is a nut on either side once you remove both the front panel unlatches easily, from the bottom two latches. The water pump is located on the right front of the bottom plate. it is held in by three nut screws, (have plenty of towels to catch the water that is released once you disconnect the two hoses that are on the pump. The replacement part (made in the USA) is all plastic but fits perfectly. We Replaced the pump and reconnected everything. There is a video here on this site the explains in detail the removal and placement of the drive belt. The job is very simple to do. I am a woman under 5ft and I did this repair with the help of my son (17yr old). The machine is good as new. Second repair I have done on the machine and with a lot of savings!.

I opened up the control panel on the back by removing the 4 screws and then used the print that was inside to check where the power went from the power cord. I checked the power at diferent places and determined that I did not have power coming from the lid switch with the door up or down. You could here the switch click when you opened and closed the door but aperantly it was not working. After going on your web site and looking at the other posts I realixed that there was a fuse link in the switch that was probably blown. I ordered the switch and it was a simple matter to replace when it arrived. The washer works great once more.

Removed the back panel from the control panel which was 3 phillips head screws and 2 hex screws. Remove the front knob from the timer, this is completed by removing the round center plate on the knob by simply pulling it off and then remove the small plastic pin in the center of the knod underneath the round plate. The pin holds the knob in place and once removed the knob can be pulled off along with the plate behind it.

Now from the back inside the contrlo panel simply unplug the wiring harness from the timer. Remove the circuit board from the timer also, it pulls off easily. There is one hex head screw holding the timer in place and once removed the entire timer assembly can be removed by rerleasing the right side and sliding the assembly to the right and out.

Slide the new timer in place, secure with the hex head screw, reconnect the wiring harness and press the circuit board back in place on the bottom of the new timer. Close up the back panel and replace the front knob components onto the new timer and you are ready to go. In all it took about 40 minutes and saved me over $200 for a service call.

I did a continuity check on the lid switch assembly since it was a) the easist to get to, and b) my wife's descreiption of how rthe washer stopped made me think it had something to do with the lid switch.
I found that all of the contacts were open regardless of the position of the switch, and I also discovered that there was a fuse inside the swithch. I decided to order a replacement part based on the presence of the fuse.
Upon repacling the fuse (a snap in affair), the washer was working again... my wife was impressed and I was happy!

Replaced the transmission pulley and bearing. Also I put on a new drive belt. I did the repairs exactly the way Steve does in the repair videos.
Replace the Transmission Pulley and Bearing Kit - 5:44
Replaced the Drive Belt 52 inches - 1:10
Also I replaced the drain pump even though it still worked, because the machine is 19 years old.
Replace the Drain Pump video - 6:22 min.
After doing the repairs, the Maytag Atlantis washer now works fine.

I didn’t have special tool for brake but punch and hammer worked. Seal was easy to replace. Several videos online to show you how. It wasn’t worth it to tear apart the transmission and buy more parts/seals (if they were even available). But I didn’t know how much oil was in it. I drilled a hole in the side to somewhat check level and added 80-90 gear oil. It was almost empty and added almost a quart. Used a self taping screw/bolt with gasket sealer to plug the hole. I got 34 yrs out of this washer. If it fails, oh well. Just hate to buy a new one that only last 10yrs if im lucky.

Simple remove and replace. Plastic cam and hinges simply snap out, replacement parts snap right back in. Needle nose pliers were helpful to remove broken lid cam. With hinges and lid removed, took advantage of great opportunity to clean lid and and top of washer.

The replacement was very easy, just one bolt and RR was a snap. However, the first part that came was defective and I called the 800 number, spoke to the rep and the part came the next day. Excellent customer service, and would do business again
