Product review (4 stars): Perfect Replacement, 1/2 the Cost
I checked with my local Maytag dealer, and found that this pump motor would cost me $99.00 to replace.  I did more research and found that I could purchase the motor from Maytag, but the price was the same.  I checked Amazon, and found several purchase options.  I could buy the complete pump and motor, or just the pump.  I checked the pump, and couldn't find any wear or damage.  The impeller shaft was very loose in the motor housing, so I thought I would take a chance and replace the motor only.  Turned out to be a good choice.  The motor and impeller fit perfectly into my old pump housing.  It comes with new o-rings, so I didn't have any leaks.  I have had this motor installed for more than a month and my wife is very pleased, so now I can go back to watching football.
