To anyone who can help:

I have a leak on the bottom of my tub at the location pointed with a red pencil (see pic). It leaks most when it is in a spin cycle and water drips onto the transmission and "slings" it to the inside cabinet and leaks out.

What is the recommended repair parts for my model? Do you have instructions for removing and installing? Any special tools or hints?

Maytag Clothes Washer Model LAT8740AAW

Thank You

David,

This is a somewhat complicated job, but well worth it in my opinion. This washer is one of the best ever made and one of the main reasons for Maytag's great reputation (that was hopelessly ruined by Neptune).

We have everything you need:

- Breakdown diagrams for Model LAT8740AAW

- Mounting stem repair kit

- Tub bearing kit (recommended to be replaced at the same time)

- Spanner wrench

- Maytag washer repair manual (FREE download, see page 101)

Thank you for the info. I was able to replace the tub bearing and the mounting stem, no leaks.

My current problem is that at high speed spin cycle, there is a lot of "chatter". I checked the tub top cover and it is not touching the top cover. Visually there appears to be space between the tubs, when I rotate the inner tub by hand I don't hear any "scraping" or contact. Both spanner nut and clamp nut are tight.

I think it is inner tub contacting the outer tub...any ideas?

Will appreciate.
