Maytag washer 4000 series show F21
typically there is a "catch chamber" by the purge/drain pump. This collects change and other debris in where the pump forces water to the drain. To find the chamber, there is either a small access door on the bottom or you may have to take front sheet metal off to gain access. This chamber will have a round "cap". Before you remove the cap, make sure you drain all the water with water drain hose into a bucket. Take the cap off and remove debris, then check to see if fins on motor move freely, with slight resistance, before replacing cap and testing. If you can move fins, try putting washer in "drain" position and with a flashlight check to see if fins are moving by themselves. If they are, replace cap and run a rinse then drain cycle.
