The drive motor which spins the drum is connected to the drum by a rubber belt. Sounds like the belt is burned through. Make sure you can spin the inside tub by hand to verify that the tub can turn freely before you replace the belt. The hum is from the drive motor just spinning freely.
drum barely turns by hand--very stiff. Feels like the brake is engaged. Burned and broke the belt. Only discovered brake issue after replacing the belt, which was easy enough. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Searched high and low and can't locate any threads or videos explaining this repair. Thank you
i think this one is the one with the clutch. if it does it b4 it spins. put it on a spin. if it doesnt spin, u need a clutch. under the unit the belt is whapped on it
I had the same rattling during spin cycle of my Maytag 4000 series front loading washer. Noticed you could gently pull back on the rubber gasket between the tub and where the door seals. There was a quarter resting against the fixed ring the tub spins in. Problem solved. And I have further realized that long hair can build up in this same spot. But if you didn't know to pull back on the gasket you wouldn't see it. Good luck!
This can be caused by a brake that has failed. Try to spin inner tub with washer off. It should NOT turn. If it turns the brake is bad and is allowing the tub to spin when agitating. This causes clthes to bunch up.
