Replacing bearing on Amana washing machine 5800AWW

transmission bearings are the problem and transmission needs to be replace in order to fix the problem, in some cases some people chenge only the bearings but is better to replace the transmission at once.

you can look on yoytube by putting ur model and number and write how to change bearing

If it's a front loader, check the bearing, they wear out.

You will need to replace the thrust bearing kit. Here is the part to order.
It comes with the instructions and is an easy fix.

I have an Amana top loading washing machine.. The machine recently emitted a burning odor and the machine has stopped spinning. when turned to spin cycle there are bumping sounds and it no longer spins. Does this model have a belt which might need replacing or does it have a transmission and does it sound like possibly extensive transmission work. If it is the transmission, is it likely repair costs would be greater than the value of this machine?

It sounds like your bearings are going... See http://www.neptunebearing.com for information on replacing your bearings and saving alot of money.

firstly remove rear cover and check during running if any hose is leak?
or-
water seal inside drum is leak for this drum has to be open. mostly bearing are damager due to water entering bearings. so bearing are needs replacement.

Had the same problem on a machine I worked on. Changed the belt... was burnt and broken. Second time I replaced the belt, I ran it through all of the cycles and listened to it on SPIN cycle.. Although it's spinning.. it's making an extremely LOUD noise... It's the Spin bearing that is gone out. When a load is put in, and in spin cycle, the bearing is oveloaded..(being dry).. and putting extreme pressure on the motor and belt. When the drum reaches a point where the bearing just won't spin, the belt stops, and spins on the motor pulley, wearing it through.. (And smoking a great deal).. until it breaks.. again. I believe the top "Spin bearing" is about 75.00 or so.. and a BEAR to replace. Hope this helps

Tub bearing replacement on ANY Amana (Maytag) can be difficult. Even for experienced technicians, it can take 1 to 2 hours as long as there are no surprises (corrosion, stubborn bolt etc). Also, all Maytag washers require specialized tools for removing certain components of the machine.
