High pitched buzz/whine during wash cycle only, spin fine

My Maytag MAV 8260 has started making a high pitched buzzing/whine during the wash cycle. It does not make any noise in spin cycle. Where do you suggest I start?

1) Make sure valve is open all the way 2) some machines have a screen inside of the hose hook up which could be clogged. 3) last check to see if it is the hot or cold by switch your selector switch on your machine to hot then cold. If one of these positions eliminate the noise then the valve in the machine is bad.

Humming or buzzing during wash and spin cycles.

it's the motor that makes the humming sound..it may have difficulty in starting..when starting like this the motor draws more current and this may cause the windings to burn out..try reducing the load..if the sound disappears then indeed the capacity of the motor is deteriorating...take out motor and clean bushing and lubricate.. also realign belt ..

Maytag SE1000 Dryer - high pitch buzz, then total non-start

Often, after a power surge that exceeds the parameters of surge suppression devices on the circuit board, the unit will do this. You will more than likely have a failed control board now and will need to replace it.

Washing machine makes buzzing noise

Check the water pump for an obstruction in the chamber area, your pump may be sticking and that will cause the buzzing sound. The water pump runs during the fill portion of the cycle on several of the selected wash cycles to recirculate the water.
