Loud noise

I have a Maytag Performa washer model PAV2300AWW. It started making a loud noise when it’s spinning or agitating… otherwise works correctly. Any idea what the problem could be?

Probably a bad pump, just tilt back, remove belt and check.

Once I tilt it back and remove the belt… how do i check to see if it’s a bad pump?

When they make noise, they are really bad with rough bearings and start to leak water.

This info just helped me out this morning. It was making a terrible scraping sound! Pump is out and will be ordered or replaced locally tomorrow. Thanks.
