Yes, they don't make them like they used to and it is definitely worth fixing. Black dust is almost certainly the belt. Pull the machine out and tip it backwards against the wall. Have someone hold it steady and look underneath with a flashlight.

Worn bearings make a noise.

Parts 30 on drawing 1 is your belt. $39 Canadian. It is a long belt! Make sure the pulleys are okay and the motor and gearbox turn freely.

Sounds like your drain line is clogged. You may also have stuff clogging a water filter just before the pump, or the water outlet coming from the drum.
It could also be a problem with the pump, but until the drain line is opened up, you still won't be able to empty the water from the washer.

You can check the drain or the filter. You will have to pull it out of the space it is now to access it. Items will get stuck in the drain clogging it.

check the pump ,,, if pump wont pump out the washer wont spin till it gets down so low / larryyb

first, if it's under warranty, have them service it, if not then....

the maytags work mainly on belts with a forward and reverse on the motor. forward washes, reverse drains and starts spin cycle. if the motor does reverse and drains the water, then it's probably the transmission of the washer. these washers have 10 years parts on the transmission, so I would have a service repairman come out and fix it. you'd only pay for the labor and the transmission would be free.

Check the drain pump. It could be blocked or jammed. Remove the front panel and the pump is easy to access. There will be a hose from the bottom of the outer drum to the drain pump. Remove plug from wall socket before attempting to remove any cover.

If your washer does everything but does not spin, it is your outlet filter which is blocked. Locate this and clean out, it has to work fine. Refer user's manual.
