Maytag Washer Drive and Spin Belt 27001007



Cheaper than anywhere else
When the drive belt on our washing machine started cracking it made loud noises as if the transmission was going out. I took the front off the machine, saw the damaged belt and called the local appliance store to see if they had a replacement. They did, for $35.00. I got on Amazon, found the exact same belt for less than $5 with free shipping (Amazon Prime). That was a "no brainer" so I ordered it. The belt arrived 3 days later, I installed it and saved $30 on the parts. If I'd have called a repairman, it would have been well over $100 for the same job.

Would I do it again? Heck yes, easy repair, fast shipping and super price.

NOT Genuine Maytag Washer Belt
It's actually difficult to truly rate this item because I ordered (and was charged for by Seneca River Trading) a genuine Maytag replacement part #27001007 washer belt and received the ERP (generic) replacement belt. I could have purchased the generic belt locally for about $7.00. I chose the Maytag brand name for it's durability. I'm sure this belt would have worked, but I ordered a genuine Maytag belt for it's quality for a high-use commercial washer. If you are looking to order this belt, you will probably do better to find the generic (37820) belt for a lot less cost. Again, the generic belt should work for basic use but, I still recommend the genuine Maytag belt for quality and longevity. Overall, I'm just not happy having been deceived with this purchase. Don't be duped!

Not a long term solution
Like many others. Worked great for 5 months and just shredded itself. Not sure if I'm going to try a more expensive version of the product or just purchase multiple belts so I can replace them as they fail.
