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!

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.

Thank you, I am 62 years old and with your video I fixed my washer. Saludos from Tijuana Mexico

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!

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

This video is old, BUT THANK THE LORD I FOUND THIS!!! Ive been searching for TWO DAYS now for ANYTHING!!! Thanks man

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!

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.

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! ❤

Saved me from spending money I don’t have! Thank you so much my friend. Another win for the internet.

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)

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!

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!

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

2 years later and it's still helping people! This is exactly what my problem was! Thanks 😊

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 , 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!

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

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!!!!!

Had the identical problem! Ordered the part off Amazon for about $12. Fixed in 20 minutes. Excellent video! Many thanks!!!

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.

Thank you sooo much for making this video!!! I couldn't bear the thought of having to buy a new machine. I had used KZfaq 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!!!

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!

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.

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.😊😊

Exactly what was wrong with my washer, thanks again for the video. Made my life easier trying to find out what was wrong.

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 .

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!

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!

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 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!!!

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.

Only video that I could find explaining that dumb error code. You da man! Thanks for your hard work and service to our country

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....

Thank you from a single mom of three and a washmashine that works like new!!!!

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.

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!

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!!

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

THANK YOU!!! This saved us hundreds of dollars, and especially saved buying a new machine. Repairman couldn't believe it worked! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for the vid and info. $15 later and we're doing laundry again!

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.

Thank you for your research, your video, and your service. Maybe we'll get another 10 years out of that Bravos.

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!

This is the best video ever! Thank you so much for the detailed description of the problem and how to fix it.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!)

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. 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.

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

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!!

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

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!

You were right!! The parts are now $13 on Amazon. It’s working beautifully. Thanks for posting this.

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

Holy crap sir, ours had the same problem. Thanks for saving us a $360 repair bill or worse a $750 washer replacement

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! 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!

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!

You nailed it! Perfect solution. Just what I needed, and nobody else figured it out but you. Thank you my friend!

You just saved us hours and money! Glad I found this video! Go Tader!

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 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.

I want to thank you for your video, I have the same washer, and just yesterday it came up with that error, I just so happen to have that gear from a previous repair I had done, i works like a new one now.

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.

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.

I thank you. My wife REALLY thanks you! So easy once I was shown how.

Thank you for your insight. I have exactly the same problem, a SD code, no suds, and the agitator rotates when the drum doesn't.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you for the kind comments and the extra info. Wrapping up a divorce and selling a house so a little busy incase I don't get to your comments. Thank you all for the support.

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!!

Thank you!!!! And thank you for your service!! You saved me the 6 hours you spent researching this fix. Bam! all fixed!

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.

Took a while to find this fix. I was the correct solution to the problem. Thank you

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...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.

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! ;)

Thank you for this video! Bought a used version of this washer and had this happen. Fixed it and now it runs beautifully!

You Sir are a genius!! Thank you so much from a Marine 1371 with all 10!

In case that agitator is stuck, use a ratchet strap and a 4x4. I was lifting that thing up by the drum and it would not pop off. So, I got enough clearance between the drum and the agitator to get ratchet strap hooks in there, put 4x4 over top of the washer and put as much tension as I could without breaking the plastic, then kept tapping the middle of the agitator with a hammer. Finally popped loose. What a PIA .

Thanks so much for the excellent video Brother!!! Just saved me from having to buy a new machine.

Thank you I've been doing appliances for 6 years and this one was hard to catch for me

Thank you for this and thank you for your service. Three loads down and no SD errors. Thank you!!

Thks. Fixed in no time. Straight forward step by step. Up and running

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!!

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 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.

Many thanks for this. The only problem I had was getting the new part onto the shaft. It just wouldn't go down until I heated it for a few minutes after pouting boiling water on it. That expanded it enough that it went almost to the bottom of the shaft. A few taps then got it all the way down and it was plain sailing from there.

Ton of thanks to you. It worked for me. Saved hundreds of $$

Thank you sir! I've watched a couple of your videos and has saved me. I appreciate your videos.

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 !!

Just want to thank you for the tip on trouble shooting this problem and the solution. Hardest part was getting that damn bolt out but I kept at it and fixed the machine..That inner gear only went down to where I could just get the screws started but I worked down the rest of the way by tightening the screws in an alternating pattern as you said which pushed it down all the way.

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.

This ! I was getting the run around til I found this ! Excellent video bro thank you !

Man you are a lifesaver I thought the chief was going to start sending me to the laundromat. Lol thanks C-LOC

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.

Nice! I've been fighting this stupid error all day long. I've had this washer apart so many times... Replaced bearings (3x now), water pump, and control board. I've had this part out so may times, but never stopped think it might be worn out. Parts on order. I'm tempted to model and 3D print it. Parts won't be here for 3 days.
