I'm having an issue with our Maytag MAV6357AWW washing fine, but not spinning fast enough to drain water. I checked the belt and it's extremely loose. Not sure how it gets tight due to the fact that I can just move the motor back and forth with ease. Is there a way to tighten the motor down to create more tension in the belt? It seems to slide back and forth effortlessly. :confused:

The belt is loose because the motor motion serves as a clutch, so that is not the problem. On these models if there is a spin problem the thrust bearing Part number: AP4009132
is the first thing to change out. Directions are included.

Thanks sidfink! I'll see what I can do. Do you know how difficult changing out that thrust bearing is?
