I need help with my Maytag MAH3000AWW. Increasing noise during the spin cycle led me to believe that the bearings were shot. I ordered the parts from various suppliers. From the youtube videos I have seen, I also decided to order a new spinner assembly in the event the old inner bearing races were seized to the shaft. I ordered the new spinner from ParstDr, which comes with the new style seal. My machine had the old style spinner and seal. I installed the new bearings, spacer, new style seal, and new spinner. At the end of the spin cycle on the test run after the fix there was smoke coming from inside the machine with a smell of burnt rubber. I disassembled once again and noticed that the metal portion of the seal that is on the spinner shaft had contacted the rubber portion of the seal and wore it down. That was what caused the smoke and stink. The new style seal is quite a bit thicker than the old style. My question is if I can use a new style spinner with the new seal on an older, old style seal machine? I thought they were compatible as long as the appropriate new/old spinner and seal combo were combined. Do I need to revert back to the old spinner and seal design?
Any help is appreciated.
