No spin cycle

During the final spin the machine made a very loud noise and jerked violently. Now you can hear the motor running but it will not spin. The drum can be turned freely by hand. Is this a catastrophic failure?

1. If the machine will not rotate by itself, but the motor is running, then it is definitely the belt. Open the back panel with the cord unplugged. It is easy to replace the belt.

2. There is a drain pump accessible from the front bottom panel (2 screws). This pump operates while it is draining. Make sure both the main motor and this pump are operational. If the main motor does not move, then replace the motor.

Get the plug off the wall, open up behind & check what it is. Maybe the belt is off...........Only severe cyclones are catastrophic........

Loud banging noise during rinse

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the rinse or 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.This will solve your problem.

The drum shakes violently and is very loud during spin cycle

There are 2 shock absorbers/springs attached to the drum. If one of them breaks it will cause a loud banging noise when you wash heavy loads. This is an easy fix. The part is about $22.00 and it is accessed throught the front bottom panel.

"howling" noise during spin cycle (still there after changing burned off belt)

Travioso, there was two service flashes out on this model concerning the seal and bearing which means they had an issue with this washer. The howling noise you are hearing is the bearing and will need the new designed triple seal and bearing kit. This should be covered under your warranty, I believe it is 5 years. The numbers for the service flashes are TDL-0048A-B. Call Maytag and inquire about these service flashes, these should be covered. Catriver.
