My washer will agitate and drain but the basket will not spin. I checked the lid switch and it is working fine. I can turn the transmission pully clockwise by hand and both the agitater and basket turn easily, but when it is plugged in, the pulley turns counterclockwise when agitating, but does nothing on spin cycle. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
I messed with the lid switch, and timer today, and now the basket will spin but it will not agitate. I still don’t know why it is acting so odd.
When you turn the tranny pulley cw, the pulley cam must move upwards to release the brakes.Then the tranny will start to move the spin basket. Get someone to try to turn the spin basket while you do this. If basket is stuck,you need a new cam pulley kit, if basket is free, you need a new tranny.
Wife’s robe belt is wrapped (tied maybe) around the bottom of the agitator. I have unraveled it as much as possible but believe it’s knotted since it will not move when pulled one end or the other at this point. Did a search but did not find anything on removing agitator for a Maytag.
I have a little tinkering skill to hopefully remove the agitator to get the knotted belt out. Please help.
Thanks. Quinn

Nat,
That was the ticket!!! I was a little confused trying to get the softener cap off as it just kept on spinning. Pulling it was the key. Anyway, once off, it was a breeze to unscrew and yank the agitator off to get access to the knotted robe belt. (Not sure if I could have tied a stronger knot than this machine tied :eek: LOL).
Thanks so much for your guidance.
Quinn
You’re welcome and I know your wife is happy now too!
