Product review (5 stars): Perfect!
Exactly what I needed. Came well packaged, on time. A quick look at the construction of the replacement pump versus the factor pump revealed a re-design in the metal bearing housing. The old housing had a bearing outer encasement that consisted of metal "teeth", one of which must have hit something and bent, thus causing the noise and basic inability of the bearing to operate properly. I used to work on Helicopters, and I've seen this type of bearing enclosure failure numerous times, just a bad design. This is probably the reason for most of the failures of the original pumps. Installed easily (there is a video I think on the maytag site showing replacement steps. Very satisfied.
