Whining during spin cycle

sounds like the spin bearing is bad. that would explain loud noise. grease from the bearing failure is probably mixing with the water during the cycle. if the unit is over 5 years old, probably not worth repairing, financially speaking.

Is it just during the spin cycle that it machine is noisy or the noise is less during the wash cycle? Also is the noise a thumping type of noise or is it more of a whining or steady noise? If is a whining noise, it probally means that water has seeped past the seal and corroded the bearing of the washer. The noise is the failing bearing.

probably pump making noise

it must be motor run away condition. motor must have exceeded its design speed and the internal windings must have parted off. you did the right thing. but, when your son switched on again, it would have run for few minutes with all internal extra friction and stopped with burnt smell. you have lost the motor. but, before replacing the motor get the speed control system checked.

Check the U joint. Its located under the agitator. Its the most common problem with the older calypsos.

support bracket that supports the tub is breaking. stick your hand inside and push up and down and see if its coming apart. if u look at it when it runs does it wobble?(the tub) if not take a look at the pulley on the back and see if its wobbly.

Its a bearing on its way out. the seal is also probably worn.

Yes, bearing, most definitely. It is a cheap part but difficult to replace.

The maytag machine makes a loud whinning sound during the spin cycle? Any ideas what is the cause?

How deep do you want to get into this?It sounds like the wash pump motor bearings that are worn.You can pull the unit out flip it over and wd40 the bearings in the motor or you can replace the bearings.Try to lube them first.
