Hello. My Maytag MAV5000AWW washer occasionally does not spin the clothes dry… after the spin cycle, the clothes are sometimes dripping wet.
Also, it seems to not be rinsing soap out well. Dark clothes usually are left with white traces. I thought this may be related to the spin problem.
When the spin cycle completes, the brake seems to be making more of a disturbing screech and shake when stopping.
When I start a spin cycle, I can easily hold the drum while the belt is spinning the drive pulley… It seems there is not enough power being transferred to the drum, but I don’t know what it felt like when it was new. I took it apart the other day but couldn’t figure out how separate the transmission to check it out and didn’t find anything obviously wrong. I put it back together. I also couldn’t figure out how to tighten the belt, but it seemed to be turning the drive pulley well anyway. The parts diagram doesn’t show separate parts of the transmission, so I assumed there are not replacement clutches or brakes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
