My Maytag top load washer (MAV6000AWW) makes a screeching sound in the agitate and spin cycle modes. I am told this may be either a spinner bearing or a water pump. If I momentarily start the spin cycle then grab the spinning basket, the noise goes away.

Can you help me to:
1. Isolate problem
2. Parts/kit needed to repair?
2. Applicable repair manual download?

Thank you. Roger

Hi Roger,

Most likely the problem is a bad pump bearing. Tilt the washer back, remove the belt and rotate the pump pulley in both directions to see how freely it's moving.

Roger,

Post a Poll allows you to create polls (in case you wanted to ask everyone's opinion on something). Trackbacks are a way to link back to the original page. For example, if another site links to a page on this forum, that page will show a trackback to that site. This is something that came included with the forum engine we're using. I wouldn't worry about it.
