Maytag MVWX655DW1 Washer Basket Hub Replacement

소개

If your clothes are coming out of the washer still soaking wet or if they are not coming out very clean, your washing bin might not be spinning like it should. This can be caused by the washing hub losing its teeth around the motor shaft. This replacement is a fairly simple process and should take someone approximately 1 hour to complete. Before starting, make sure the washing machine is unplugged and the water is turned off.
