IUs very loud during spin cycle and you would

Might be the tub bearing going out. Is she leaking any?
Here is a visual inspect and repair of the tub seal:
I used a pipe wrench to unscrew this top portion of the seal (lefty loosey)


Those 6 springs are pretty tough to get back on there without the special tool
other than that it all goes back pretty easy.

My Maytag Performa makes a grinding sound when it agitates. When it starts to dump the water it makes a loud grinding on metal sound... really loud. What is the problem and how much to fix?

This sounds like the transmission is going. Better get another washing machine other than a Performa.

Sounds like the water pump is going out on it. The part runs about $80 and should only take about 45 minutes to install.

Hi,
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.

good luck.........

you have a bad tub seal asm. remove agitator, spin basket and tub asm. remove seal and install new one. good luck

Your maytag is really an amana and the bearings are bad. Yes it does cost a lot. If i were you i would buy another washer. Get a whirlpool. (whirlpool now owns maytag)

This washer is JUNK!!!!!! We have the same washer (2 1/2 years old) and same problem. Tried to replace the bearing myself, no luck. So I called a repair man to come out and look at it. As soon as i told him the model number, they would'nt even come out. Very common problem for this washer. We are on our way to Sears to purchase a Kenmore.....GOOD LUCK

Open washer's cover and look for a released or a malfunction shock absorber Good luck!

may be blocked outlet pipe or depending on the model a noisy drive belt, check for blockage if belt do not worry. Regards engineer
