Product review (5 stars): Yep. Fixed a Maytag that wouldn't spin.
We are unfortunate souls with a Maytag Centennial POS washer. It got to the point where it wouldn't spin, We'd go into the settings, and try to set it to "rinse and spin" or sometimes simply to "spin". Sometimes it would work, and sometimes it wouldn't. I got online and saw on YouTube some guy who said that 90% of the time, it's this actuator that needed to be replaced, and he showed how to tip the thing on its face and replace the part in seconds. He was absolutely right. After replacing the actuator, it worked like it's supposed to. Now, with this crappy Maytag - I'm waiting for it to go out again, or something else to freeze, burn, fry, or quit. When I was a kid, we had the same washer FOREVER! What's wrong with manufacturers these days? Thank goodness for Amazon and YouTube. And I'd never seen the feature on Amazon where you enter the model number of the washer for the part. At least there's ONE company that I believe in! Thanks Amazon!
