I am working on a Maytag Washing Machine that makes a loud roaring sound when it goes into the spin cycle-so loud you don't want to be in the same room with it.

I have removed the wash tub and the plastic nut on the spin cycle shaft but below the nut is a 4 bolt flange that I need to remove. It is aluminum and I have been to the web site and the on line help but can not tell if it is threaded or or if I need to use a puller on it.

Thanks

Hopefully the Service manual will help. Possible you'll need some special tools.

P.S. Check how freely the pump pulley is moving. It can be noisy too.

Hi Gene-thanks for the link to the repair manual--that is just the bit of info I needed.

As it turns out-the spin hub is threaded and the hub may require a bit of coaxing with a rubber mallet and a large wrench. I also had to clamp the agitator shaft to keep it from turning while I rapped on the hub wrench.

Once I had it unscrewed and the tub removed I found that the hub seal had deteriorated and water had rusted the spin bearing--lots of noise. A new part from this site and all fixed.
Thanks for the help Gene.

You are welcome. I'm glad you were able to fix it.
