Tilt the washer back and remove the belt. Turn the main pulley and the drain pump pulley in both directions. Post the results.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG PAVT244AWW WASHER-TOP LOADING | AppliancePartsPros.com

I did that Gene, it has three pulleys, all turned well in both directions. Belt was really burnt and melted to the plastic pulley. I really dont know what to do. It won't pump out now. Wonder if it's worth fixing?

It might be just a bad belt. The part is very inexpensive and it's worth to give it a try.

- The belt Part number: AP4024823
Part number: AP4024823



If the transmission pulley got damaged, then you have to order the thrust bearing kit too.

- The thrust bearing kit Part number: AP4009132
