Maytag Performa - Tub crashing, washer moves.
I have an 8 or 9 yr old Maytag Performa washer. It has the plastic
tub. I lost the manual and don't have the model #. Is it somewhere on the machine? Most times during the spin cycle, the tub hits hard and loud inside the washer. It is hard enough where the washer moves. I have to adjust the wash to make the tub more balanced, then it's fine for the remaining load. Only happens once per load, but is a pain sometimes. What is this? Worth fixing? TIA |

TIA Hi, I lost the manual and don't have the model #. Is it somewhere on the machine? The manual is not on the washer, but the model# normaly is...unless someone has removed it... http://www.applianceaid.com/model.html Some model# helps. Most times during the spin cycle, the tub hits hard and loud inside the washer. Slow draining, worn suspension snubber/springs, both...the acual cause would have to be investigated. What is this? Worth fixing? Something that may help.... http://www.repairclinic.com/referral.asp?R=153&N=422276 Performa top load washer manual Service manual, washer. jeff.
