MAYTAG MAV6000AWW I replaced the thrust bearing. It is a little weird in that when twisted all the way it will not recoil and allow the brake to ingage. It seems to have a binding point. Also more importantly It seem that the agitator quit working and it wants to spin in all modes. Next the transmission is making a lot of racket, like a hard clicking sound. Any Advice would be appriciated.

SOURCE: Correction! Maytag would not spin

You have a bad transmission.

yes you can do it yourself no special tools are need just a couple good flathead screwdrivers and a lot of patiance be sure to put all the new washers and bearing back on in the same order the old ones came off putting the C clip on can be a little tricky but take you time and it can be done you may hvw to use the flat head to pry on the trans. shaft to get the clip in the groove then use a pair of chanell locks or pliers to snap it on if you get a new style bearing it may not look like the one you take off and not have all he washers just snap the small plastic pice onto the bearing put it on the the pulley the most of the time just the thin washe then the C clip the dust cover put belt back on the test machine

If the tub spins during the agitate cycle, the the problem should be in the timer. It sounds like everything else is working properly. A new timer is fairly expensive, but your Atlantis is fairly new so it should be worth the money.

Your Belt still needs replacing or to be scuffed up with sand paper. If thes fails you need either new tub bearings or a transmission. either a 250-300.00 repair so tr the belt and rotate drain pump rotation while the belt is off

Its probably you stator plate and rotor. But you need special tools for this repair. There a spring that is under 200 pounds of pressure and if you take the screws off that hold the plate its going to fly into you face if your dont use the special tools to depress the spring. Is it more of a clanking kinda of noise? DOes it olnly happen with heavy loads? Try this out. Fill the washer with water only. and get it into a wash cycle with water only. If there is no noise then put in like a load of towels. A heavy load. Now if you hear the noise now then its for sure you stator plate and rotor..hope this helps, but like i said you need those special tools to do this repair or injury can result from the spring part.
