The washing machine works great except for on the spin cycle. It doesn't seem to be spinning fast enough to pull the water out of the clothes. Also, at the end of the spin cycle it has a very loud brake sound. any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks.

Problem: 18yr old Maytag Atlantis™ Washer; model MAV7700A, top load washing machine would not spin fast; clothes stay wet that you can wring it with your hand; the tub will completely drain all the water at the end of the cycle; everything mechanical/electrical works; pulley and belt, belt tension, etc are all OK when you tilt the washing machine on its side and examine them.
