Default Spins to fast or not at all
Model Number: MAV8557AWW   Brand: Maytag   Age: 5 - 10 years

Spin cycle is very noisy (more of a roar than a whine), seems to spin much much faster than normal, a few times would only start spin when started by hand. Motor, belt & pulleys all seem ok. Is this likely the transnmission (in which case it's junk) or something else?

Joe,

It's most likely a bad tub bearing / seal kit,

Part number: AP4009444

Part number: AP4009444


The easiest way to determine,
remove the front panel and start a spin cycle, carefully isolate where the noise is, from the bottom of the tub assembly, you'd have a bad tub bearing.
If the noise is down lower, at the base of the machine, You'd need a new transmission.

Part number: AP4373431

Part number: AP4373431
