Maytag Bravos XL Won't Agitate? Replace the Gearcase Yourself

Maytag Bravos XL won't agitate or wash properly? When this machine stops washing, the gearcase is almost always the reason — and replacing it yourself saves hundreds over a service call. Here's the full step-by-step. The Bravos XL gearcase wears out and stops driving the agitator, so the wash cycle runs but clothes don't actually move. Replacement is one of the bigger jobs in the manual but it's absolutely doable in a home shop. I walk through every step from cabinet top removal, console release, and pulling the spin basket, all the way through swapping the gearcase and putting it back together.
