MAH6700AWM Maytag Washer - Instructions

Started doing it following directions online, they all skip the hard part which is putting the boot back in. Gave up before damaging it and called professional. - If you want to do this repair you absolutely should remove the full front panel of the washer and be very patient. it will take a while if you aren't used to doing them. all the videos show performing this repair WITH the front panel on. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS! Remove the front panel and install without it on!

Moved unit forward to gain access and then removed rear panel with Phillips screwdriver.

At this point it was very important to protect arms and hands due to sharp edges within the unit!

Be advised, the bolts may be a little tight...hence the protection mentioned above. The socket tends to "pop off" due to the awkward angles involved. The washer basket has some nasty little extrusions which can cause blood blisters if you bounce off the basket!

Using 1/2" socket (and small extension) removed mounting bolts and extracted the dampers.

Install new dampers, using thread lock on the bolts.

Re-install the back cover with the Phillips screwdriver and push the unit back in place.

We watched the instructional video and it was a complete success!

1)I removed the bottom front panel,reached up the right side of the machine and pulled the manual release on the bottom of the latching mechanism.2)I then removed the top to the machine in order to gain access to the latch. 3)I removed three electrical connectors then the three mounting screws using a #15 Torx driver. I then reversed the reverse procedure to install the new latch. total time to do the job was less than half an hour. Machine works OK.

Removed the 3 screws that hold the bottom front panel in place. Removed the 3 screws that hold the door latch in place and pulled out on the bottom of the door which wasn't very much and slid the door latch out to get to the wire connections. Connected the wires to the new latch and pulled out bottom again and put the latch back into place and put the 3 screws back in. Note: make sure you unplug the washer so you don't have a chance to get shocked. Level of difficulty was pretty easy.

Unplug washer (got zapped when first fiddling with it).
Turn off cold water at source and unscrew hose from washer
Remove two small screws to remove top of washer
Uncouple contacts from old cold water valve
Remove 4 small screws holding valve to washer
Remove old cold water valve

Install new valve and reverse each procedure above.

I removed the spring that goes around the rubber on front of drum, pulled back rubber near the lever, removed the 3 screws holding in the latch, reached in and disconnected the 3 plugs to part, connected new part put it in place screwed it in, put the part of rubber i pulled back, put spring back around the rubber, plugged machine in done

Installed new pump but washer still would not identify pump. Isolated pump with it's own power line and time the wash cycle to plug in the pump and drain the washer, if I miss the timing it goes to a trouble code and I cut off the washer and back on to set to the" rinse and spin" cycle to complete the wash. Not the best but am retired, the washer was given to me from a friend, and it works.

After watching some video on this site I managed to diagnose the problem as being a faulty pump. Ordered the part which to a bit longer to be delivered than I anticipated. Replacing the pump was easy but I had to do some adjustments. Had to take a piece of the old pump and replace the same piece on the new pump to be able to secure the pump on the mount. But once I've finished the reward was big.

Replaced door lever (PS11741552) and door lock latch (PS11745016).

Initially I tried to replaced just the obviously broken (split) door lever, but then door would not close at all. Lever is as simple as it gets, so the problem was apparently the door lock latch.

After watching video (on this site) that shows it was fairly easy to access and install a new door lock latch (2 screws in back, 8 screws in front), I ordered a new door lock latch.

Took about 35 minutes to install new lever and latch.

Works perfectly now. I hope to get a few more years out of this machine.

When I looked at the website for latch repair they showed a video (can't remember which brand but not Amana) where you had to take off the top and front of the washer to get at the latch part on the washer. For the Amana I had, you simply had to pull out a portion of the rubber gasket held onto the washer by a wire/spring combination (you can take the wire off) to get at the latch assembly. You could then undo the three screws holding the latch to the washer, pull it out and unplug the three wiring connections to remove the old latch. Then plug connections into the new latch, reinstall, tighten screws and fit gasket and wire/spring assembly back together. Much easier than going thru the top and front of the washer!

easy process: troubleshoot problem on website-- order part--get part--watch "how to replace"video on you tube-- get it done with only a screwdriver--go out for movie and dinner with $$ saved.

well had to take apart the whole machine to take out the drum, wasn't all that bad, Pulled out the inner tub , took apart the inner tub and behind the stainless tub was a spider arm which I did replace mine was cracked in 2 places. While inside the drum replaced the seal in the back of the tub since it was there for 10 years plus , Pulled out the old one , tapped in the new one and put all back together and now all is Great . ps do a lot of search of the part and you want pics of the item you are after, cheapest is not always the best also the serial number has something to do with some parts my machine had 2 listed for a series 10 and series 12, just make sure if a picture is available of the part it matches.

I am super excited that partselect.com asked me to do this review.

1-Order part on website, validate that everything is correct. It was. PS11741552
2-Part received is going to be a small box of screws instead of your vastly overpriced plastic door latch. This will happen your first time ordering, it is normal.
3-Item refunded through customer service and a new item sent out.
4-At this point you will need to do laundry, my recommendation here is to put you back against the door, maybe read a book and have a drink for the half hour it takes for a cycle. Nobody with a washer wants to hang out with the unwashed masses at the laundromat.
5-Receive another box of screws. It this point you will now believe that the screws are a metaphor for how partselect feels about customer service.
6-Contact customer service again, get another refund. At this point partselect will just give up and tell you to order the parts from the manufacturer. Once again by the picture on the site and the confirmation, you have order the correct part.
7-Total time here is over a week to 2 because the parts move slowly.
8-Order part on literally any other site.
9-When you get it unscrew the 2 screws from the broken part. Replace with the new part and screw the 2 screws back on.
Fixed!!

Unplug machine,remove three screws that hold on top cover.
Unplug latch switch assembly,then open front door of washing machine, remove three screws which hold latch
switch. Install in reverse order.
