Maytag washer screeches during wash cycle and spin cycle ,washer starts fine as soon as starts agitating washer makes a LOUD screeching noise continously ...

Hello friend, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off the information you have provided you are hearing a loud screeching noise during the spin cycle on your Electrolux washer. You will hear a certain amount of motor whine during the spin cycle this is a normal operation of your appliance. -Matt

It sounds like the transmission is done. Can't pinpoint what it is exactly, but I would start there.

Hi,
Here is a tip that will help you with the not spinning or agitating problems....

Sounds like a transmission problem. Not worth the repair judging from age.

sounds like a bad clutch. check the transmission out for ware and inspect the clutch as well. make sure the brake is not dragging as well.

I have the same problem...during SPIN it make a LOUD SCREECHING sound.

You can remove the cap but I wll be truthfull if your getting a loud roaring sound or screeching sound in the spin cycle it is the bearing call a tripple lip seal you need special tools to remove the seal

from the belt, please fastening the bolt and possibly it lose a little.

is the bottom foam shipping base still on the washer

ppr78, couple of things you want to check. The bottom panel on these GE's are pretty flimsy. I have run into a couple where during agitation the bottom of the motor housing would rub against the bottom panel making a terrible noise. You need to remove the front panel by pusing on the clips on the left and right side just under the top. The front panel will pull out. During agitation, take your foot and push down on the bottom panel and see if the screech goes away. I have also found the suspension rod support sockets at the top dry out and make a screeching noise. You also want to check your belt and pully and see if the noise is from there. Check these things first...Catriver..post back.
