Just saved me a $300 service call / only wish I found your video before is spent 5 hours trying to clear the suds and another 3 hours taking off all the pump hoses / checking for anything caught in the impellers, testing the pump motors and running through the diags again only to end up back at SD (F71)
Whoo hoo! This 62-year-old woman watched your video, ordered the parts, and fixed my washing machine myself! I did have to get my husband to break the seal on the big bolt ---wow, took him a few times....but then I made him leave and let me try it. I'm so proud! Thanks for a great video.
As others have said, finding your video saved me +$800. Like you I tried everything I could find online to prevent the Sd error, short of pulling the tub. Was getting ready to order a new washer, sale expired in 2 days. Found your video, had parts from Amazon next day and a working washer that night. You're doing yeoman's work my friend. Thank you!!!
Awesome video. I had gone to Lowe’s and ordered a new machine for $875 total. I found this video and ordered the part on Amazon for $13. Cancelled the order. Easy fix and saved me almost $1000. Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you! I just fixed my washer myself for $17. When the dishwasher and washing machine crap out within 2 weeks of each other, i turned to youtube to help me diag and repair both of them. And while i have yet to fix the dishwasher, I have at least succeeded in fixing the washer. So thank you once again for helping me save hundreds of dollars! You have done us poor/cheap folk a kind service! ❤
I got the SD(5D) code today on my Maytag bravos 300 washer. After taking out the tub, checking for drain clogs, put everything back, ran another cycle and it errored again. Then finally I came across your video…$27(from a local appliance parts store) and a few minutes later, error gone. Thank you and thank everyone who posts videos about how to fix stuff!!!!!
Thank you , you saved me a service call. Ordered the part from Amazon, followed your instructions and the machine was up and running within 10 minutes. No more SD error codes. Once again, a great thanks!
Thank you sooo much for making this video!!! I couldn't bear the thought of having to buy a new machine. I had used UA-cam for a previous different washing machine problem and I replaced a part myself after the repair person told me I had to get a new machine. It took me a while until I found your video for this SD problem, but it was GOLD!! I replaced the washer hub many months ago, and it worked like a charm after following your EXCELLENT video. It failed again a few weeks ago and I replaced it again, Good to go again. Then about a week or two later, it failed again. I still can't bear the thought of having to buy a new machine - this one still looks new. I bought my 3rd new hub and just replaced it again. The problem seems to still be the hub, and the plastic ridges of it are worn down. When I take off the existing one, or put on the new one, it is VERY hard to get on and off again. Yours didn't seem that way. Is it important that the hub move up and down without a lot of friction? Is there anything you know of that I could do to lessen that difficulty? I used WD40, I also put some candle wax on it. Last time I may have even used some Calcium, Rust, Lime remover. Do you think this could be the cause of the recent fails? And, is there anything else you can recommend? Otherwise, I guess I'll have to get a new machine - can't keep chancing this stopping suddenly out of the blue. Thanks again SO MUCH for making and posting your video. Great work!!!
Unfortunetly i do not know why some of these fail repeatedly now. The kit I put in my old machine is still running strong for the 3rd owner now. I really wish manufacturers would keep quality control up.
@@onebaddj WOW!! Thanks so much for responding...I really appreciated it. A side question..is there any reason that part needs to be made of plastic? Wouldn't it be better made of metal, stainless steel, etc.? Again, thanks so much. If I have any other repairs I need to investigate, I'll be sure to look you up first.
My friend, wife and I can’t thank you enough. Took me awhile to find this video, but this is just what we needed. Parts came today from you know who and work like a charm. Thanks for your service to this country as well. Have a great day.
We're back in business, thank you! I have a Maytag Bravos XL, ~10 yrs old. As someone else mentioned, that middle plastic piece was difficult to remove and even more difficult to get new one on. I had to use a rubber mallet to work it down, but eventually got it
Mr. Onebaddj, thank you for saving me about $1,000!!!! I wish I saw your video first. I did some of the other videos for the SD error codes (I have a Kenmore Elite) and none of them worked. Just as my wife was researching Best Buy and have one delivered, I came upon yours. Amazon delivered the part in one day (I think it was $18). Great instructions and great advice. Thanks again and have a wonderful year. PS - Unlike your center bolt, mine required some WD-40 and some turn-counter turn tricks to freeze this up - not for a woman.
Thank you for the video I am a technician, was having trouble figuring out what was wrong with a customer's washer and this video helped me. Very much appreciated
You are awesome to take the time to tell us about this! That was so cool of you. I thought it was the pump again (replaced that last year March) as it wouldn't pump the rinse cycle. It won't pump the rinse/spin only cycle at all. It does the SD thing at 30-31 minutes left. Yours did it at that point as well. Saved us from having to buy a new pump and then after that didn't work a new washer! I also appreciate that your channel isn't monetized. For others the part May/2023 was 12.99 on Amazon. Took about 30 minutes max. No surprises. Pushing the new part over the metal spindle on the motor was a tighter fit than I expected. I was worried I would break it. To overcome this I took the old part placed it on the top of the new part (which was over the spindle) and pushed with my palm so it would go on straight and square. In the video it seemed to go on a little easier than what I experienced. It was tight enough I was worried I would break the new part but I did not. Again thank you for all the help!
I was a day away from replacing my washer and dryer bc of this part stripped out and nobody had the answer. I even pd “just answers” and no luck. Then found your video and the next morning I went straight to the problem. Can’t thank you enough.
Just tore my washer apart with the help of your video and that is exactly what's wrong with my Maytag bravos. Thanks a million for taking the time to make the video.
This is so fantastic. Thank you! Our issue was the exact same. You saved us some cash by not having to get a repair person to fix it. Our parts were all super stuck together. It took some aggressive yanking to get everything loosened up.
So I had the SD error and LD error as well! Thank you for your video on the wheel hub gear replacement! I replaced that with the 280145 part and I also had to replace the drain pump as well! 2 washes without any issue! Pump was $28 and wheel gear is $12! 10 year old Maytag bravos!
I almost cannot believe I came across this video. My husband and I did the same thing as you and kept running different cycles hoping for a correction. I was able to use my "vice grip" and could easily see the problem was identical to yours and the part has been ordered. Thank you so much for solving a problem that Maytag certainly doesn't. Cheers!
DJ, thnx a mil for all the details and triage provided here. This was exactly the issue I had with the washer I recently repaired for a friend. Thnx for sharing the fruits of your research on this platform
Yesterday I watched your video and I had tried changing the Stator Speed Sensor and did not repair the washer. After watching this I went and bought the agitator gear and problem solved. Thank so much for the video and the help.
This Gentleman has easily saved me $100s in Maytag labor costs. Not once , but twice. Replaced the interface circuit board a couple months back. And now, genius! S(5) d means plastic striped gear. Correct. And, thank you. This Bravos XL lives on for now. HOORAH!
This ROCKS! Had the same error and couldn't find anything online about it. Appreciate you taking this step by step and also recommending needed tools at the start.
Have the Sd code. Completely disassembled a 12yo washer at a rental property, cleaned the filter and entire washer, when putting it back together i noticed the stripped hub and ordered the part. Came here to make sure its the right solution to the code! Thanks!
Yet another commenting here to say thank you! The part numbers were perfect and my washer is fixed! Grateful for you taking the time to make this video!
Thank you! I did the repeated clean cycles to no avail. I almost gave Up until I saw your video. All others never said it could be the agitator. Thanks again!!
THANK YOU! I am definitely not a handyman, but your tutorial gave me the will and the courage to dismantle the drum in our washer and replace the part. It worked! You might be 'one bad dj', but you are an excellent teacher!
after many hours of trying to run it thru and then taking the washing machine apart to clean it we still received the SD error. I decided to try the internet one more time and found this video. We just ordered the part. Praying this works! Thank you so much!
I can’t thank you enough for this video man the same thing happened with our washer and your step by step video really helps keep up the good work brother. Thanks again.
Kept having the same problem with my washer. Went for a few days trying to figure it out. After some research I came across your video. You're video is spot on and simple. My agitator lock did not come out that easy. It was on really tight. Had to spray a small about of WD40 to help out with that. The new part was even tighter and I barely pushed down a 1/4 inch so I just lined the holes up then used a rubber mallet to carefully tap it down using that same star technique that way it didn't get all cock eyed and crack. Half hour later washer is back in business. Thanks for the video brother. Semper Fi
reason the part was hard to get off and hard to replace is that the plastic from the part being replaced was impregnated into the ribs of the steel shaft and had hardened. I ended up scraping the ribs of steel shaft to clean out the hardened plastic of original part. new piece still when down tight. All is well
Thank you for saving me at least $350!! Found your video, had the same troubleshoot results, took everything apart as you said, orders parts & will put back together when they arrive! Thanks so much!!
THANK YOU!!!! After watching several other videos I had almost given up and was going to buy a new washer. Glad I found your video! $12 and 10 minutes later I’m back in business.
Thank you. So happy we found your video. The SD error code is so misleading. The part was $14 on Amazon and did the trick for us. Nothing to do with suds at all.
SD error had my wife eyeballing new machines that would of set me back a couple thousand. Thank goodness for this video, you fixed my problem. Give my best to Tater!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m sure you saved me a couple hundo. My son and I watched this, ordered parts and fixed it ourselves. It’s seems like a new machine, it’s quieter and most importantly it’s working! Can’t thank you enough.
Thank you for doing the hardwork and investigating this problem . Maine broke on Sunday. Had the parts from Amazon by 1pm Monday. Fixed it by 5 pm on Monday. Your a lifesaver thank you!
@@onebaddj problem is I fixed this 6 months ago but strip again. Took it apart . Upon inspection the shaft is stripped too. Such a bad design. this inner piece should have been made in metal not plastic. Poor ingeneering rip-offs!!
This video saved me from buying a new washer. It was also making an obnoxiously loud thumping sound during the spin cycle for the last year and it fixed that as well. Not all hero's wear cape's. Thank you!
Can't thank you enough for posting this! This worked for our Kenmore Elite Series 700 top loading washer. I think I heard Marines in there, so thank you for your service as well!
Thanks for a great video. I encountered the same problem with Maytag washer . Ordered the parts and fixed it in less than 5 min. washer works like a charm.Thank you again .
Problem solved!! Amazing!! They only issue I had was the old smaller per was hard to slide off... the main bolt was really rusty! I cleaned it well and used a toothbrush to scrub off the junk. Also a little Wd-40 helped! The new part didn’t slide on easy due to the rust I believe but with some persuasion and a rubber mallet, we got it all the way down! Put it all back together and ran 3 loads successfully so far!! Thanks so much!!
I can't thank you enough! I just developed the dreaded SD issue myself today and spent about 2 hours looking for the fix before I found your video! Just ordered the parts myself! I'm confident this will be my fix as it was yours! Thank you again for the wonderful video! (And now I get to delay laundry for another day, yay!)
Standing over my washer right now smiling after I fixed it using your repair video. Thx!! Part I ordered from Amazon didn’t work but I found one at my local Appliance parts supply. No fault of yours, just the part was faulty. Cost me $26 to get local vs $14 on amz
Unbelievable! Never thought my sd (suds) error code would be the $15 worth of plastic gears you mentioned. 1 day to get the parts and 5 mins to fix. Of course this was after tipping the machine over and removing both pumps and hoses to find a clog that wasnt there. Thanks for your video
I think this is the same problem that I've been dealing with today. Parts have been ordered and arrive in two days. Wish me luck!! You're video gives me hope! ;)
@@onebaddj It worked! I however needed to call a friend because I needed to borrow his impact drill to remove the bolt. That thing would not budge for me. All this after a service repairman told me that my machine's motor was shot and he couldn't reprogram it. 😳 You saved me from buying a new washing machine. THANK YOU!!
That is awesome! Reprogam metal and wire wrapped into a motor? Thats new. No circuits in that motor. Lmfao. Im glad it worked congrats and another win for us!
you are spot on with this video, thank you for your mechanical mind. Just a note, my part to be replaced came off hard and new part was hard to put on. I pulled new part off that I only got on about 1/2 way and discovered that the old part had left hardened plastic in the ribs of the steel shaft. Scraped the ribs clean of the plastic added a bit of bees wax and slipped the new part on. Thanks again!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! This was our EXACT problem. My husband, my father in-law and I fixed this together. Saved at least a 300$ appliance call! Now onto the drain pump, maybe. Have a video for that?! The darn LD code. I’m hoping this fixed everything. Thank you so much for your service as well. Happy Fourth!
Lol. Glad it helped and yes actually if you read through the comments from a few day ago I think that was a clogged drain issue. Please it withing 4 or 5 days. Love these video for this. Have a great day!
This helped fix our problem, I don’t ever comment on videos but this was super helpful after about 5 or 6 cycles of trying to get rid of suds. I was about to buy a new washer, really appreciate the instructional step by step with tips!
Thank you. We own a Maytag Bravos 300 Quiet Series (Year about 2011). We started having the 5d error code come on near the end of the wash cycle during a normal wash. We started down your recommended path and replaced the parts in question. In our case it did not directly resolve our 5d error. After some further research we determined that a piece of clothing managed to get stuck underneath the washer drum and the plastic housing. Luckily, we were able to pull the clothing out with a coat hanger but others can lookup how to remove the drum (cleaning videos) to remove any "eaten clothes". With the new parts and "eaten clothes" removed our washer is back to working properly. Thanks for your help and hopefully this might help someone else too.
@@onebaddj It absolutely did. I did the same as you. Ran the rinse/spin cycle a few times then looked on the internet for 2 hours and found nothing useful. 1 thing I knew, it wasn't Suds causing the problem. I now think it goes to that code because the machine has the drain on when the agitator starts the spin cycle but because the drum is not turning the drain stays on for a while until it the program decides that Suds must be the reason the drain is still going. Was just about to give up and started thinking I'd have to buy a new machine. Thanks again.
Bro Saved me 5 hrs of troubleshooting. I just checked and the agitator spins freely of the tub and won't spin to drain the suds. $10 and one day Amazon delivery later, I'm good to go. Did check the splines on the agitator and that's probably the next thing to fail, or the bearings again!
You get a big thank you! Also floundered about the internet troubleshooting and the moment you said to grab the drum and see if you can spin the agitator I wanted to hug you. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Great video. I have been in the repair industry since 1965 ... The spline on the agitator shaft must be cleaned so the drive hub goes completely down.. Or the new part will split 🪓🪓.. I didn't see you do that.. But great 👍 work.😊😊
Perfect, had the same problem on my Whirlpool Cabrio mashing and could not find a thing including calling customer service without even getting close to this solution. Thanks, luckily my local appliance dealer had the part, took longer to pick up than repair. Back at washing my laundry again....
DJ, thank you for the time you spent to troubleshoot and show us the fix to the SD issue. I took out the agitator parts and sure enough, the lower portion of the little gear was worn allowing it to slip on the motor shaft. Parts on order. You da man !!
Thank you so much for this video. It was easy to follow and solved the problem. A 12.00 parts kit delivered the following day did the trick. Much better than at least a 150.00 service charge if not purchase of new washer. Thanks again!!
This fixed my very problem.. Figure after 10 yrs of service, this part was bound to wear out considering the countless overloaded washes my washer has ran. I recently replaced the noisy bearings earlier this yr too.. Looking to get another 10 yrs out of my Maytag Bravos washer.. YT and your vid for the WIN..
Thank You very much for the video. Your instructions were perfect from diagnosing the issue to providing the part number to order from Amazon. I received the parts and it took less than 15 minutes to fix it and now no SD code. Thanks Again
You nailed it dude! Thank you. The only problem I had was one of the screws stripped out and I had to cut/ break the nylon hob off. Definitely clean the screws first.
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to share. Saved a lot of headache and most certainly thanks for doing the 5 hours of research. I was at about 1 hour when I stumbled across your video.
Awesome video I broke everything down in under 10 minutes ordered the parts and waiting for them. Hopefully 1 day delivery 5 minutes to install. Bam done. Thank you so much.
Spot on with your trouble shooting and fix. I had the exact same issue. $15 in parts and a little elbow grease saved me an expensive service call. Thank you
onebaddj, you're one badass brother !! This video saved my butt from having to toss our washer and buy a new one, Thank You so much for taking the time to make the video. As you said, the code is for SUDS but it can be triggered by this mechanical problem too and most of us would"ve not figured it out ! As a side note, taking out the impeller/washplate was pretty difficult but I saw another guy's video here on youtube where he grabbed the actual tub and pulled it up several times against the impeller until it loosened up, after that it came off easily , that was a great tip too. Thanks again ! Martin P (by the way, this is my wife's youtube account, I dont have one :) )
Great video. I recommend cleaning the splines on the shaft really good. The cam needs to freely slide up and down on the splines. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video! We had the same error code "sd" even trying just the rinse cycle multiple times. Thanks to your research I had a $13 repair instead of a repair bill.
Thanks for posting this, you are spot on with the issue. Only thing i would add is, the bolt was really hard to loosen on mine, my drill couldn’t even do it, i had to tap the wrench with a hammer to eventually loosen it...
Awesome...you just saved me hours self diagnosing this! Mine has this exact problem. You should link the part on amazon part so you make money off it for your service too.
@@onebaddj Worked like a charm. I would have been pretty clues less with out the guidance. I did have trouble getting the worn part off, but was able to coax it off with two screw driver bars as leverage at the same time. Also putting it back on I had to gently tap it onto the shaft after lubricating it, then using the screws to pull it all the way down into place. It was a super tight fit for some reason.
Thank you so soo much!! The parts number was also very helpful for getting the part quickly. I was so close to getting a new washer and you helped tremendously! Awesome thorough video!
Great Video. It was exactly what was wrong with my washer. It wasn't oversudding like the code said. Glad I found you. It was difficult getting those plastic gears off as so much grind had built up.
Awesome video. Thank you so much. Putting the first spline in was tighter than expected. Used an oversized socket and tapped into place worked fine. Thank you again.
Thank you, I am 62 years old and with your video I fixed my washer. Saludos from Tijuana Mexico
Hell yeah man! Glad it helped

THANK YOU! I am definitely not a handyman, but your tutorial gave me the will and the courage to dismantle the drum in our washer and replace the part. It worked! You might be 'one bad dj', but you are an excellent teacher!
Thank you. Taught advanced electronics for 5 years for the Marine Corps and Navy. Loved it. Glad your machines up and running. Good job.
after many hours of trying to run it thru and then taking the washing machine apart to clean it we still received the SD error. I decided to try the internet one more time and found this video. We just ordered the part. Praying this works! Thank you so much!
I can’t thank you enough for this video man the same thing happened with our washer and your step by step video really helps keep up the good work brother. Thanks again.
Im just glad this video is helping.
Kept having the same problem with my washer. Went for a few days trying to figure it out. After some research I came across your video. You're video is spot on and simple.
My agitator lock did not come out that easy. It was on really tight. Had to spray a small about of WD40 to help out with that. The new part was even tighter and I barely pushed down a 1/4 inch so I just lined the holes up then used a rubber mallet to carefully tap it down using that same star technique that way it didn't get all cock eyed and crack. Half hour later washer is back in business. Thanks for the video brother.
Semper Fi
That is awesome. Semper Fi brother.
reason the part was hard to get off and hard to replace is that the plastic from the part being replaced was impregnated into the ribs of the steel shaft and had hardened. I ended up scraping the ribs of steel shaft to clean out the hardened plastic of original part. new piece still when down tight. All is well
Thank you for saving me at least $350!! Found your video, had the same troubleshoot results, took everything apart as you said, orders parts & will put back together when they arrive! Thanks so much!!
Just glad to be helping!
THANK YOU!!!! After watching several other videos I had almost given up and was going to buy a new washer. Glad I found your video! $12 and 10 minutes later I’m back in business.
Glad to hear it helped.
Thank you. So happy we found your video. The SD error code is so misleading. The part was $14 on Amazon and did the trick for us. Nothing to do with suds at all.
Yes Ma'am. They have a good trick with this one. Glad the video is still helping and comments like this make everyday a little better. Thank you.
2 years later and it's still helping people! This is exactly what my problem was! Thanks 😊
Hell yeah. Have a good one.
This guy is a genius. Fought with SD error for days then I found this and sure enough the little piece was stripped right out. Thanks!!!
Im gunna print this out and frame it! Genius!
Glad this helped man.
You saved my family a lot of money! I thought we would need to buy a new washing machine but then I stumbled on your video. Thank you so much!
@@avigailglueck5663 Glad this video is helping!
@@onebaddj I want to thank you and Tater for putting this video I just finished mine .. was a bit more difficult coming off. But patience is virtue..
Add me to the list of people who were able to fix their washer for cheap thanks to you. Thank you for posting this video!
Thats awesome Sir! Glad it helped.
SD error had my wife eyeballing new machines that would of set me back a couple thousand. Thank goodness for this video, you fixed my problem. Give my best to Tater!
Glad it helped and will do! Tater will get an extra treat tonight.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m sure you saved me a couple hundo. My son and I watched this, ordered parts and fixed it ourselves. It’s seems like a new machine, it’s quieter and most importantly it’s working! Can’t thank you enough.
Glad this video helped!
Thank you for doing the hardwork and investigating this problem . Maine broke on Sunday. Had the parts from Amazon by 1pm Monday. Fixed it by 5 pm on Monday. Your a lifesaver thank you!
Thats awesome. Glad the video helped.
@@onebaddj problem is I fixed this 6 months ago but strip again. Took it apart . Upon inspection the shaft is stripped too. Such a bad design. this inner piece should have been made in metal not plastic. Poor ingeneering rip-offs!!
Thank you for the update. Did you use a different parts kit the 2nd time? If so please list the part kit number. Maybe it will be better parts.
Thank you!!!! And thank you for your service!! You saved me the 6 hours you spent researching this fix. Bam! all fixed!
Hell yeah, glad it helped and thank you.
This video saved me from buying a new washer. It was also making an obnoxiously loud thumping sound during the spin cycle for the last year and it fixed that as well. Not all hero's wear cape's. Thank you!
Can't thank you enough for posting this! This worked for our Kenmore Elite Series 700 top loading washer. I think I heard Marines in there, so thank you for your service as well!
Yes Sir, 24 + yrs. Son leaves in 14 days for bootcamp
Thanks for a great video. I encountered the same problem with Maytag washer . Ordered the parts and fixed it in less than 5 min. washer works like a charm.Thank you again .
Glad it helped.
Problem solved!! Amazing!! They only issue I had was the old smaller per was hard to slide off... the main bolt was really rusty! I cleaned it well and used a toothbrush to scrub off the junk. Also a little Wd-40 helped! The new part didn’t slide on easy due to the rust I believe but with some persuasion and a rubber mallet, we got it all the way down! Put it all back together and ran 3 loads successfully so far!! Thanks so much!!
Hell yeah! Another win for the home team. Thank you for the update.
I can't thank you enough! I just developed the dreaded SD issue myself today and spent about 2 hours looking for the fix before I found your video! Just ordered the parts myself! I'm confident this will be my fix as it was yours! Thank you again for the wonderful video! (And now I get to delay laundry for another day, yay!)
Glad the video helped and everything works out.
Standing over my washer right now smiling after I fixed it using your repair video. Thx!! Part I ordered from Amazon didn’t work but I found one at my local Appliance parts supply. No fault of yours, just the part was faulty. Cost me $26 to get local vs $14 on amz
That is awseome!
Thanks for the vid and info. $15 later and we're doing laundry again!
Unbelievable! Never thought my sd (suds) error code would be the $15 worth of plastic gears you mentioned. 1 day to get the parts and 5 mins to fix. Of course this was after tipping the machine over and removing both pumps and hoses to find a clog that wasnt there. Thanks for your video
I think this is the same problem that I've been dealing with today. Parts have been ordered and arrive in two days. Wish me luck!! You're video gives me hope! ;)
Good luck! Hope it all goes well
@@onebaddj It worked! I however needed to call a friend because I needed to borrow his impact drill to remove the bolt. That thing would not budge for me. All this after a service repairman told me that my machine's motor was shot and he couldn't reprogram it. 😳 You saved me from buying a new washing machine. THANK YOU!!
That is awesome! Reprogam metal and wire wrapped into a motor? Thats new. No circuits in that motor. Lmfao. Im glad it worked congrats and another win for us!
you are spot on with this video, thank you for your mechanical mind. Just a note, my part to be replaced came off hard and new part was hard to put on. I pulled new part off that I only got on about 1/2 way and discovered that the old part had left hardened plastic in the ribs of the steel shaft. Scraped the ribs clean of the plastic added a bit of bees wax and slipped the new part on. Thanks again!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! This was our EXACT problem. My husband, my father in-law and I fixed this together. Saved at least a 300$ appliance call! Now onto the drain pump, maybe. Have a video for that?! The darn LD code. I’m hoping this fixed everything. Thank you so much for your service as well. Happy Fourth!
Lol. Glad it helped and yes actually if you read through the comments from a few day ago I think that was a clogged drain issue. Please it withing 4 or 5 days. Love these video for this. Have a great day!
This helped fix our problem, I don’t ever comment on videos but this was super helpful after about 5 or 6 cycles of trying to get rid of suds. I was about to buy a new washer, really appreciate the instructional step by step with tips!
Glad this video is helping!
Thank you. We own a Maytag Bravos 300 Quiet Series (Year about 2011). We started having the 5d error code come on near the end of the wash cycle during a normal wash. We started down your recommended path and replaced the parts in question.
In our case it did not directly resolve our 5d error. After some further research we determined that a piece of clothing managed to get stuck underneath the washer drum and the plastic housing. Luckily, we were able to pull the clothing out with a coat hanger but others can lookup how to remove the drum (cleaning videos) to remove any "eaten clothes". With the new parts and "eaten clothes" removed our washer is back to working properly.
Thanks for your help and hopefully this might help someone else too.
Thank you for the comment and info! Hopefully it will help out.
You are a life saver. I thought I'd have buy a new machine. THANK YOU.
Thank you for the comment! Im just glad this video helps.
@@onebaddj It absolutely did. I did the same as you. Ran the rinse/spin cycle a few times then looked on the internet for 2 hours and found nothing useful. 1 thing I knew, it wasn't Suds causing the problem. I now think it goes to that code because the machine has the drain on when the agitator starts the spin cycle but because the drum is not turning the drain stays on for a while until it the program decides that Suds must be the reason the drain is still going. Was just about to give up and started thinking I'd have to buy a new machine. Thanks again.
You nailed it! Perfect solution. Just what I needed, and nobody else figured it out but you. Thank you my friend!
Glad this helped save some money.
Only video that I could find explaining that dumb error code. You da man! Thanks for your hard work and service to our country
@@11alexpaul Thank you. Glad the video helped.
Bro Saved me 5 hrs of troubleshooting. I just checked and the agitator spins freely of the tub and won't spin to drain the suds. $10 and one day Amazon delivery later, I'm good to go. Did check the splines on the agitator and that's probably the next thing to fail, or the bearings again!
Glad i could help bro
You get a big thank you! Also floundered about the internet troubleshooting and the moment you said to grab the drum and see if you can spin the agitator I wanted to hug you. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Holy crap sir, ours had the same problem. Thanks for saving us a $360 repair bill or worse a $750 washer replacement
This is the best video ever! Thank you so much for the detailed description of the problem and how to fix it.
Im just glad its helping!
You Sir are a genius!! Thank you so much from a Marine 1371 with all 10!
Thank you Sir and Semper Fi brother! Enjoy your Labor Day weekend.
You were right!! The parts are now $13 on Amazon. It’s working beautifully. Thanks for posting this.
Glad it helped again!
Great video.
I have been in the repair industry since 1965 ...
The spline on the agitator shaft must be cleaned so the drive hub goes completely down..
Or the new part will split 🪓🪓..
I didn't see you do that..
But great 👍 work.😊😊
@@redlion9199 Thanks for adding the info sir and the comment! Every little bit helps out.
Perfect, had the same problem on my Whirlpool Cabrio mashing and could not find a thing including calling customer service without even getting close to this solution.
Thanks, luckily my local appliance dealer had the part, took longer to pick up than repair.
Back at washing my laundry again....
Thats awesome and why i put these together.
Thank you for your research, your video, and your service. Maybe we'll get another 10 years out of that Bravos.
Thank you, was fun most of the time. And glad the video helped.
DJ, thank you for the time you spent to troubleshoot and show us the fix to the SD issue. I took out the agitator parts and sure enough, the lower portion of the little gear was worn allowing it to slip on the motor shaft. Parts on order. You da man !!
Thank you so much for this video. It was easy to follow and solved the problem. A 12.00 parts kit delivered the following day did the trick. Much better than at least a 150.00 service charge if not purchase of new washer. Thanks again!!
Just glad it helped!
I am gald to live in a world where you can find tutorials on internet you save ame a lots of dollars
I can't thank you enough!!
This fixed my very problem.. Figure after 10 yrs of service, this part was bound to wear out considering the countless overloaded washes my washer has ran. I recently replaced the noisy bearings earlier this yr too.. Looking to get another 10 yrs out of my Maytag Bravos washer.. YT and your vid for the WIN..
Awesome. I finally had to replace mine after after my dryer drum completely cracked around the back. My friend now has the washer running strong.
Thank You very much for the video. Your instructions were perfect from diagnosing the issue to providing the part number to order from Amazon. I received the parts and it took less than 15 minutes to fix it and now no SD code. Thanks Again
Just glad it helped. If those parts fail people say to order the "oem" kit for a few dollers more.
Took a while to find this fix. I was the correct solution to the problem. Thank you
Im just glad this video has hekped. Every reply is badass. Thank you
You just saved us hours and money! Glad I found this video! Go Tader!
Glad the video helped! We on 7 acres now so Tater has endless projects to supervise!
You nailed it dude! Thank you. The only problem I had was one of the screws stripped out and I had to cut/ break the nylon hob off. Definitely clean the screws first.
Thank you for this and thank you for your service. Three loads down and no SD errors. Thank you!!
Awesome! Glad it helped
@@onebaddj DJ any advice if the gear with the washer will not come off? Same problem again - SD code, 7 months later - washerless again.
Dj thank you!! This is exactly what’s happening with mine. I owe you big time. I was afraid that I had to buy a new washer.
Just glad to help everyone.
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to share. Saved a lot of headache and most certainly thanks for doing the 5 hours of research. I was at about 1 hour when I stumbled across your video.
Im just glad its helping. I ever get this divorce over with ill be able to get back to helping people again. Lol
Awesome video I broke everything down in under 10 minutes ordered the parts and waiting for them. Hopefully 1 day delivery 5 minutes to install. Bam done. Thank you so much.
Spot on with your trouble shooting and fix. I had the exact same issue. $15 in parts and a little elbow grease saved me an expensive service call.
Thank you
Thank you very much for taking the time to record and post the video. It was of great help. You rock.
Just glad to help. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks so much for the excellent video Brother!!! Just saved me from having to buy a new machine.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video! Bought a used version of this washer and had this happen. Fixed it and now it runs beautifully!
Glad its still helping!
onebaddj, you're one badass brother !! This video saved my butt from having to toss our washer and
buy a new one, Thank You so much for taking the time to make the video. As you said, the code is for
SUDS but it can be triggered by this mechanical problem too and most of us would"ve not figured it out !
As a side note, taking out the impeller/washplate was pretty difficult but I saw another guy's video
here on youtube where he grabbed the actual tub and pulled it up several times against the impeller
until it loosened up, after that it came off easily , that was a great tip too. Thanks again ! Martin P
(by the way, this is my wife's youtube account, I dont have one :) )
Im glad the video helped and thanks for adding the info on how to get the agitator off.
Great video. I recommend cleaning the splines on the shaft really good. The cam needs to freely slide up and down on the splines. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the reply and tip! Any info helps.
Ton of thanks to you. It worked for me. Saved hundreds of $$
Thanks for the video! We had the same error code "sd" even trying just the rinse cycle multiple times. Thanks to your research I had a $13 repair instead of a repair bill.
That is awesome. Glad it helped.
Thanks for posting this, you are spot on with the issue. Only thing i would add is, the bolt was really hard to loosen on mine, my drill couldn’t even do it, i had to tap the wrench with a hammer to eventually loosen it...
Glad it helped and thanks for adding your info to help others too.
"It's been moved three times by the Marine Corps." hahahaaaaa ... It took a looooong time to find this video; can't thank you enough.
Glad it helped! Yes ma'am. Spent 24 yrs in. Movers are brutal on your belongings and corps give you the finger for you things they break.
Awesome...you just saved me hours self diagnosing this! Mine has this exact problem. You should link the part on amazon part so you make money off it for your service too.
Im just glad these videos are helping. Another win for the regular people.
@@onebaddj Worked like a charm. I would have been pretty clues less with out the guidance. I did have trouble getting the worn part off, but was able to coax it off with two screw driver bars as leverage at the same time. Also putting it back on I had to gently tap it onto the shaft after lubricating it, then using the screws to pull it all the way down into place. It was a super tight fit for some reason.
Thank you so soo much!! The parts number was also very helpful for getting the part quickly. I was so close to getting a new washer and you helped tremendously! Awesome thorough video!
Glad the video helped out!
Great Video. It was exactly what was wrong with my washer. It wasn't oversudding like the code said. Glad I found you. It was difficult getting those plastic gears off as so much grind had built up.
My family and I thank you I follow your way God bless
I thank you. My wife REALLY thanks you! So easy once I was shown how.
Just glad it helped!
Awesome video. Thank you so much. Putting the first spline in was tighter than expected. Used an oversized socket and tapped into place worked fine. Thank you again.
Glad it helped! Another win.
Thank you sir! I've watched a couple of your videos and has saved me. I appreciate your videos.
