Hi ya'll. I have a Maytag Atlantis MAV6200AWW that wont spin during spin cycle. With some research already, I have replaced the Thrust Bearing Kit. Still doesnt work, but I discovered a half-a@@ workaround while having the lid assembly open. When I start the spin cycle manually, it doesnt spin, but I reach in and start the basket spinning by hand, then tilt basket all the way to the front of the machine and the spin cycle will start and finish. Any ideas why it wont start on its own? Belt looked fine and not sure what else to look for. The workaround will do for a little bit, but I'd rather learn and fix what the core problem is, unless its the transmission, then its new washer time. Thanks for any help..

Tilt the machine back and rotate the center pulley CCW by hand. This should release the brake and cause the basket to spin. Keep rotating pulley and basket should spin with relative ease. If that seems ok, check the motor tension spring on the side of the motor. It keeps tension on the belt. Motor should move freely back and forth on the motor plate. Another possibility is the pump has something in it or it's just binding (common). Take belt off and check ease of rotation of the pump pulley in both directions.
