Hello and Merry Christmas to all!
I have a Maytag Bravos Washer MTW6700TQ1 and so far it has served me well. I have been noticing this strange sound towards the end of the final spin cycle. Hard to describe but maybe sounds like a rubbing grinding noise. I did some research and from what I had found out is that maybe the Drain Pump assembly had something in it or it was bad. The water was not draining out properly so I had to go on my gut thinking it was the drain pump. I took the back off and took the pump off and sure enough there was one of my wife's nylon stockings caught in the pump. I thought to myself this is awesome and way to easy. Put it all together and ran a load through. Towards the end of the final spin cycle the noise was still there. Not as bad but not a normal sound. I had bought a new pump but have not used it or taken it out of the package which I was told I could return it by my local parts shop. If I spin the drum by hand I don't hear anything abnormal. Wonder if it could still be the drain pump or ....... Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas!

For what it's worth I thought I would reply to my own question to let folks know the outcome of my problem/repair. Maybe it will help another weekend warrior save some hard earned cash. My problem eneded up being a bad recirculating drain pump. Another helpful individual from another forum named kdog suggested I disconnect my pump while it was in it's spin cycle. Sure enough the noise stopped. Took the old pump off and replaced it. It was fairly easy to do also. One observation I made was the OEM part was much better built then the one I bought to replace it. The machine works like new!
