The load becomes unbalanced

I have a top loading machine, a Maytag Bravos MTW6600. It's making horrible noises when it spins; I know the drum is off balance. I rearrange the clothes, but that doesn't help. Apparently, there's a sweet spot you have to hit to get it to spin correctly, and a 1 in a million chance of hitting that spot. I had the machine repaired in August 2013. The tech had to replace the water pump. Ever since that time, the machine will get off balance, I'll get a "UL" code, try to fix it and fail. It's taking twice as long to do the laundry this way!

If your machine ius a FAV6800A LED console or FAV9800A LCD console then take a look at this post Clutch Fix if you want to DIY.

I will help you through the process. Your looking at $300 to $400 for a repair if you don't DIY. See if the DIY process is for you if so let me know I have a few additional questions......Rich

Check the inbalance/lid switch for continuity.Ck speed selector switch (if any)the water level and water temperture switches for proper opreation.NOTE:If any of the selector switches on the console are only poartially pushed in,it may cause improper function.I do not know how old your washer is.TEST LID SWITCH FIRST.If above does not solve,ck timer circuits for continuity.Get ready for this:there is to much to ck with out been there.is motor buzzing,test capacitor,washer spins but does not agitate,ck the agitator splines if they are not rhe problerm,the transmission might be the problem.GOOD LUCK.FYI I own Whirlpool washer and dryer and I repair my own,I prefer KENMORE/WHIRLPOOL/ROPER PRODUCTS because they are easy to repair and parts are not as high priced.

Why is my maytag bravos mvwb750wq washer so loud on spin cycle?

Is it moving around? I am guessing not so guess would be the drum is out of balance.

UL bravo error code

Unbalanced load? Don't over stuff the washer. The load sensing moves the drum back and forth at the start. If it can't balance the load it will err.

During the spin cycle the drum becomes unbalanced and thumps.

I assume that your saying this happens all the time and not just because you have too many clothes on one side of your washer. First make sure your washing machine is level and there is no problem with the feet. If that checks out take the cabinet off the washer and check the tub hold down springs/straps and make sure they are still attached....they can come loose or break. Hope this helps!

Noise hear during washing cycle?

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

Spin cycle tub becomes unbalance

When the drum gets unbalanced more often then not, there's a few things to check:
1. Check to make sure your machine is level. Check level from side to side and also front to back. The machine has leveling feet to adjust. Make sure they are all in firm contact with the floor when leveled.
2. Wash items that are alike in material. In other words, wash towels with towels, shirts with shirts, etc. If you wash a load of shirts with a towel, it will have a tendency to get unbalanced quickly.
3. Avoid over-stuffing the machine and washing under sized loads. Both of these scenarios will cause a tendency to go out of balance on the spin.
This will solve 75-80% of unbalance issues. Let me know how it goes..

Squeak upon spinning

Hi, I wanted to comment on this because I have the Majestic MJ9200 Washing machine front load for the RV. I am having the exact same problem and I cannot use my machine at this time. This is NOT an unbalanced load problem. An unbalanced load will cause a loud banging noise because the drum is off balance. There is something wrong inside your machine. Mine never had this problem before either and an unbalanced load does not cause this horrible screech while on the spin cycle. My machine like yours made the noise only on certain spin speeds, high 1500 rpm spin the first time and when I adjusted the spin cycle just to see what happened it stopped making that horrible noise. I washed another load and it began that same screetch while spinning and it was then in all RPM ratios available on my model.

My husband took the top off the machine and could not see anything evident but when looking into the front of the machine we could tell that is seems the interior drum is much looser in the washing machine than in the dryer. There are two drums on the front load. A larger outer drum and a smaller inner drum. The inner drum is what is looser in our machine and the noise is a very loud screetch while spinning the water out of the clothes.

Is your machine under any kind of warranty? Mine is not and I am waiting to get it fixed.

Good luck on getting yours fixed and perhaps we can both help each other out on this one although we have different brands of machines...
