Hi, I have a Maytag Washer [MODEL] hav2460aww[/MODEL] that makes a rapid clicking noise during agitation and gets a little softer during spin, but keeps clicking. It sounds like a gear slipping I think, but could be something else. I tested the fill, agitation, and spin, and the machine can run a full cycle (noisily). The washer at times has quit with a full load of clothes and water, so I change to the spin cycle and it drains, but it clicks.
I have smelled a slight burning occasionally but not always. The burning smell happens during when I first hear the clicking but the smell doesn’t get worse. Having a full load of clothes makes the burning smell and washer halt.
I’m ready to pull the machine apart and solve this, but I need to know what to target and test/replace.
Hope to hear from someone. Thanks.
