My maytag washer model LAT9206BAE will wash, and drain but will not spin. Someone told me it was probably the bearing, another said something must be jammed between the tub and the drum. What do you thing could be the problem.

Than your very much:)
A very common cause of this problem is either a tripped out-of -balance switch (corrected by fully opening the lid until you hear it “click” back into place), or a faulty lid switch.
Thank you for your response however I do not think that the lid switch is the problem because when I put the control knob to the spin position I can hear the motor trying to spin the tub and it does not spin. The problem has to be something else.
Thank you
Will the motor stop humming after a short period of time?
The motor is labouring, trying to spin the tub and it starts smelling burning rubber because the motor pulley is spinning and overheating the belt
Pull the plastic cover off the top of the tub and check for something in the tub. If ok, you probably have jammed brake shoes, or worn pulley cam washers.
