Brand: Maytag Washer
Model Number: MTW5770TQ0
Main Symptom: Shake, rattle,
What happens & when: spin cycle gets a lot of movement and banging, walk across the floor even with balanced loads. It can sound off balance when washing, too.
Visually, when looking down from the top with the lid open, it appears that the drum may not be centered, but this could be an optical illusion. It looks like it is off-center with more drum to the back of the washer.
The washer sits flat and level without rocking.
I have replaced these parts:
Suspension Springs: WP63907
Suspension Spring: WPW10250667
Tub Suspension Pads: 285744
Suspension Pad Kit: 285219
Spring Mounting Bracket: WP64067
Suspension Spring Bracket: WP64065
Seemed to be working pretty well after parts replacement, then gradually got worse:
Looking at Possibly Replacing
Balance Ring: WP387240
I don’t have any indicator as to whether it is worn out or not. There is liquid in it. And I have secured it with the tooth mechanisms, so it is tight. Assuming it is the original part.
Washer Drive Block: WP389140
No way of telling if this is worn out. Assuming it is the original part
Self-Leveling Leg Spring: 8316845
Going to replace. This looks pretty gnarly and rusty. I assume an original part as well.
Any suggestions are welcome!!!
