Hi. I have a Maytag Centennial Commercial Technology washer. It has started to make A LOT of noise, including what sounds like a grinding noise right before the rise cycle. It also seems to be moving around a lot. It moves all around the laundry room. It has always made some noise but it has definitely gotten worse. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you

Its probably you stator plate and rotor. But you need special tools for this repair. There a spring that is under 200 pounds of pressure and if you take the screws off that hold the plate its going to fly into you face if your dont use the special tools to depress the spring. Is it more of a clanking kinda of noise? DOes it olnly happen with heavy loads? Try this out. Fill the washer with water only. and get it into a wash cycle with water only. If there is no noise then put in like a load of towels. A heavy load. Now if you hear the noise now then its for sure you stator plate and rotor..hope this helps, but like i said you need those special tools to do this repair or injury can result from the spring part.

Have to keep the loads a little smaller and better balanced. Does not appear to be a particular problem with my machine.
