I have a Maytag washer that won't spin. Everything else works it fill, aggetates, drains, but won't spin. The motor operates like it is in spin but tub does not move. Not to sure on the year so i checked more than 10.
Thanks.

Take the front cover off, put it in spin and turn the tranny clockwise or counter clockwise. If easy to turn, you have a bad clutch in the tranny, if jammed, go to www.applianceaid.com for tranny thrust bearing adjustment.
An alternate test, unplug washer, turn tranny pulley in spin direction and reach inside the spin basket. If it turn easily, you need a new tranny, bad clutch. If very hard to turn, the brake is not releasing. You will need the pulley thrust bearing kit.

Hi , The pulley spin with little resistance but the busket is very hard to spin. Would that be the trust bearing? If it is do i have to take apart the whole basket assembly? Do i need any special tools? Thanks for your help.

Hi new to this group - I have the same problem with my maytag commercial size top loader. Would not spin or agitate - replaced motor - agitates but won't spin.
Replaced thrust drive, new tranny belts are fine fairly new. Drains fine.
Fills fine. Help please
