      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

Topload Maytag Centennial spin cycle issue

Washing Machine: Maytag Centennial topload - 8.5 years old

Hey all, 

I appreciate anyone’s insight into what’s going on with our washer and what part may need to be replaced.
 

For the last several weeks when spin cycle runs it has sounded as if the load is not balanced right and there was a clanging/banging noise.

Today spin cycle is not engaging. There is a whirring sound as it try’s to start up but won’t take. I lifted it up and there was grease dripping from it. I’ve included a picture of the grease and a video of it trying to start. Again, thank you for any help.

Bad transmission, with the age on the washer you will probably want to put your money towards a new washer

I agree with @evaappliance that transmission is shot. Take the money and put it towards a new unit !

Model#: MVWC415EW0

I wanted to add that I’ve researched a bit further. I started a cycle and the motor appears to be working fine. From some google searches it appears that it may be the basket hub. 
 

Sure enough I bought a new basket hub for $17 and replaced it and it’s running fine now.

Glad this resolved it for the time being as reviews on washers now a days seem pretty horrible after the new regulations put in place.
