Maytag MHW6630HW Repair Guide

Tech notes
Uses the same drain pump and boot design family as Whirlpool front-loaders — parts availability is excellent. Note on bearings: Whirlpool does not sell a rear bearing and seal kit for this platform — the bearing is pressed into the outer tub and is serviced only as a complete outer tub assembly, which is why a bearing quote here is so much higher than on a machine with a serviceable kit. Legacy Duet bearing kits sold online fit older platforms and will not fit this one.
