Have a problem I'm trying to solve or replace if necessary.

Maytag washer SAV505DAWQ burnt its belt while I was away on business - smoke filled room apparently. Got into macine and replaced belt but checked that motor would turn first (it did), and tried to turn the drum pulley - it was stuck initially, I moved the tub from above and then it woould spin freely.

Removed the motor to put new belt on and found that the fitting on the pump looked spun - plastic displaced and no longer flats to fit the motor drive shaft. Put it back togther since I didn't have a pump yet and ran a nini setting. Tub filled and then emptied and spun.

SWMBO ran a load of laundry and the tub never emptied. When I got home checked it out, water in tub (clothes removed) set control to spin to try to empty tub. Hear motor turning and then peeked into tub - drum not turning but water is flowing rapidly around the bottom of the tub and not draining:eek: .

So I know I need a pump which is about $40, is the transmission screwed as well? If so I may replace the washer since then we are talking about another ~200 for the transmission plus whatever other seals etc I would need to replace while servicing.

Final question is does Maytag have a 10 year parts warranty on transmission (as Amana) in which case it may be worth saving (I will check the manual at home.

Thanks for any help

will check tonight - pump was clear when I replaced belt. Have to check on how to take inner tub out to see if there is anything jammmed.
