If you see white,plastic shavings on the bottom, you have a badly worn snubber. Put in the search box in the general talk section, "Maytag Performa washer snubber replacement". Remember you will not need to buy the special brake release tool, or spring stretcher and no need to remove the pulley.

(model number pavt234aww)

The brake release tool that most recommend cost $50 for a one time use. If you go to the list of articles under that title, you will see one that mentions the tool.
