My maytag washer stopped working during the wash cycle. it made a clicking noise when it happened.. I pulled off the belt it is still in one piece . when i put the maching in spin with the belt off the motor pulley is spinning but there is noise that i dont normally remember at the switch location. I spun the large pulley in the middle and it spins fine clockwise .. when i go counter clockwise it spins then stops and kinda raises..

My maytag neptun mah4000ww washer stop spinning in spin cycle.
Now it stop spin even during regular cleaning cycle. What to do?
How mach it may cost?

May be the bearing in your direct drive shaft. If washer is a belt drive, the belt could be frayed

there should be a belt tensioner on thebelt path check to be sure the belt is not slipping

it does sound like a bad motor.
they are rather expensive on that machine,
you would be looking at 300 or so

Your drive motor may be fine. Check the water pump that is located in the back behind the small metal door on the left bottom corner and see if thats where your noise/water is coming from. These extraction pumps have bearings casing that gets mangled and locked up. Look right above the flywheel that the belt rides on in the W-pump.

Sounds Like Your Belt Broke And Seized The Motor.

Squealing normal occurs due to belt slippage. I would check your belts (look for cracks. Check the belt tension as well, most washers have an adjustment, normally on the motor that allows you to increase the tension of the belt.

If part of a belt gets torn and it is long enough, it will hit any part of the washing machine within range and make a clicking noise at every revolution of the motor.

I am pretty sure you need new belts. You should be able to remove a few screws and open the back cover. Between the pulleys there is a tensioner...loosen that so you can remove the belt easily. replace it with a new belt and adjust the tension.

hope this helps

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

Zoobs, you could have something stuck under the agitator. The agitator will pull straight off. Grip it on each side and pull up hard, but don't hit yourself in the face. If that don't work, try slipping a belt under it and pull. Check for something caught under it. Another possibility could be the nylon suspension rod socket supports in the back. They will make a noise during agitation if they are dry. Put a little 3 in 1 oil to quite them down. Take the front panel off and check the pulley and belt, see if anything is out of whack. I also often find the motor support hitting the bottom panel during agitation making noise. Take the front panel off and observe during agitation. See if the support is striking the bottom. If so, just bend the bottom panel down. Catriver..post back.

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.
