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?

Hi, This washer does not have a belt. While the washer is agitating, if you lift the lid will it stop? Some models will agitate but not spin if the lid is up. It sounds to me like the lid switch might be going bad.
If you will get me a model #, I can look this up for you and give you a better idea.

Maytag Atlantis washer goes thruout washing cycle,but dosen't simse or spin....

When the machine drains etc the gearbox locks up and the whole unit drum box and all spins when washing the gearbox innerds move the otherway so to speak and this cuasees a washing action this sounds as if the input shaft may need replaceing but it is usually better to replace the gearbox depends on finances but to be sure get a technition in to check and quote you first this is not something you can do if you have not done it before

check the motor coupler between the motor and the transmission

either balance load sensor or machine failing to drain in the allocated time, check pump/filter for blockage

The timer itself is bad, replace and wala! Timer Part Number: PT756240 Made by MAYTAG http://www.partstap.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=47859 $70.22 + S&H
