The spin cycle of my washing machine isn’t working. I need to find someone who is qualified and reasonably priced to fix my washer.
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]The machine had a short production run and finding someone that has hands on knowledge of the machine could be a challenge. Any error codes with the failing to complete spin cycle?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]I’m an owner like you and know the machine fairly well. I have a number of support postings on this site and four other appliance DIY forums for the FAV6800A and FAV9800A TL’s.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]If the machine is banging around while it is trying spin up and failing with unbalance error codes such as DC or UC. Than 99.9% of the time this is a clutch malfunction and can be fixed by the average DIY owner.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]If there are no error codes and the machine is stalling to spin up there could be issues such as Outer Tub bearings failing.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]If you want to have it repaired/get an estimate for repair that’s going to cost you a service call. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]You could call Maytag at 1-888-462-9824. [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]Have your model number and serial number ready for them. The serial number is located on the back top right side of the console as you face the machine. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]If you decide to diy the fix shout back and I will help. A cheap fix if the issue is what I think it is would be to replace the Clutch Pulley for around $75 + shipping from this site. Or a no cost fix as in this [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Calibri]post [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#507aa5]Maytag Neptune load unbalance[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Calibri] .[/FONT][/COLOR]
[FONT=Calibri]If the issue is related to Outer Tub bearings it’s a bigger DIY job but can be done if you can tolerate the down time and have a desire to save the machine. [/FONT]
