Spin cycle became very loud
The instructions included were very good. The biggest problem I ran into was removing the inner tub from off the hub. Using PB Blaster was the trick there, but still took some effort to finally pry it lose without damage. The hub screwed right off after and removing the Triple Lip Seal was easy enough with screw drivers. Cleaned things up and replaced it by gently tapping around it to seat it evenly. Reassembly also went well, but I DO HAVE a story. Being as careful as I thought I could be, I still somehow broke the outer tub. I read about others experience, buying and using JB Weld WaterWeld to fix it. Now the washer is so quiet again that you have to look into the drain tub to see if it is spinning. AWESOME

Blades broke from agitator
Parts where in, in a timely manner. I remover the fabric softener cup on top of agitator. User a 1/2 inch socket and a 3/8 ratchet with an 8 inch extension to remove the center nut. Popped the agitator out. Installed in reverse order, only tightening the nut slightly. The install went just like the video. Thanks much.

softener dispenser cracked/wouldn't stay on
Cleaned the grooves well on the top of the agitator and put the new dispenser on. Easy! I suffered with the old one coming off in the spin cycle for too long. Once I located this site it was relatively easy to find the part & order it, and it arrived quickly.

Leg was mssing after move into new home.
Purchased x4 new adjustable legs. Leaned the washer back and held in place with block of wood. Loosened the two older front legs with an adjustable wrench because they had a locking nut and replaced with new legs. Repeated process on back side of washer. Once all the new legs were installed leveled the machine adjusting the legs if necessary.

drain hose had a hole near wall drain.
The new hose was exactly like the one I removed. It was simply a matter of putting the new hose through the back, replacing the hose clamp, take the piece off the old hose that makes the bend in the hose to go in the wall drain. Replace the lower front panel with two screws and I was done.

Idler pulley bad, needs replaced

Water Leak
Although the Maytag website no longer had a repair manual in their database, I was able to locate one fairly easily online. After removing the motor/washer pump, it was easy to remove the 3 screws holding the washer pump to the motor. Unfortunately, it turned out the motor hub shaft had corroded and removing the pump needed some ... persuasion. Patience and a rubber mallet eventually separated the water pump from the motor. Re-installing went quickly and, so far, no leaks and the washing machine has not started walking across the floor.
