The Maytag PAV 2300 does not spin right if the load is slightly off balance. It bangs on the side and ordinarily lists to the right. On inspection, the washer is on level.

The list to the right should be resolved. Use a level and level the case left and right, and front to back. The final step is to tilt the machine fully on to the front legs, releasing the self leveling rear legs, and set the machine back down. It should be stable on the 4 feet.

usually this will center the drum and it is more forgiving on balance issues, most of which are common. Be sure to use MORE than enough water for more even loads.

Amana washer ntw4700yq1 bangs when entering spin cycle, why

sounds like the clothes load is unbalanced and uneven try sorting out the load and balance it out if it keeps banging side to side try checking the springs inside the washer (careful when opening your clothes washer please! or allow a pro to open your washer and inspect it for any spring weaknesses)

Maytag top load washing machine model PAV 2300 AWW. I've put in new springs but washing machine gets out of balance very easily. Have you got any suggestions?

If you have replaced the spring is the tub over to one side not in the center of the hole there is what they call a snumber ring on the bottom of the base the washer sets on that could be wore out but it is really hard to replace and you will need a special tool to compress the break

I HAVE A 6 YR. OLD MAYTAG PERFORMA PAV 2300 TOP LOADING WASHER. UNIT WORKS FINE EXCEPT FOR LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AFTER SPIN CYCLE. NOTE - ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

It sounds like a spn down noise. I would check to see if the brake spring was changed when the brake and stator was. They had some problems with weak springs.

Balance

No washer will stay balanced.
but if the feet on the bottom are not solid on the floor. or the rubber feet have degraded/hardened it will bang the washer side to side with all loads.
if you can lean on the washer while it is spinning and that quietens the noise then it needs the feet adjusted or replaced.
