Problem for Maytag Atlantis MAV6000 Top Load Washer
Mav8600aww, spins but does not agitate
By todd_bedore on Oct 17, 2009
mav8600aww, spins but does not agitate. The water fills the tub and when it starts agitating it makes a rattling/banging sound. no burning smell. If you move the selector switch to rinse/spin that works fine with no noise.

- Hi RyleeI think the motor is OK it does agitate but there is a grinding sound. Is the agitator suppose to fit snugly or should there be some play in it, I noticed after taking the fabric softner cap off of the agitator there is noticable play and when turning it by hand it looked like it was turning off center.
How do i access the clutch and drive pulleys to check them? Does the side or back come off?
Is there a way to test the clutch?
Drive pulleys-- Is there a way to test?
Agitator--
After checking these things please revert so that i can provide you with detailed information.
Please revert for further assistance.

- Hi RyleeFinally able to get back to fixing this problem.
- Pump is good no rattling, shaft spins smoothly-nothing obstructing inlet/outlet hoses.
- Transmission shaft-not damaged.
- Agitator little loose, but splines that line up with trans. shaft do not appear to be damaged.
- Drive Belt looks OK but plan to replace anyway.
- When I spin the transmission shaft it only spins one way (counter clockwise) when I spin the shaft the other way it just turns but the tub does not move.
- I could not find the clutch, does the trans. need to be removed to check this.
Thanks
Todd

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. Please check these things to resolve your issue--
Clutch-- It uses a clutch for agitating the clothes. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the washer from agitating well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it.
Drive motor-- Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.
Drive pulleys-- The motor or transmission drive pulley may be worn and unable to turn the drive belt. If so, replace the pulley.
Transmission-- The transmission could have either of these problems. The transmission may have a worn or broken gear, or some other internal problem.
Agitator-- The inside of the agitator--where the transmission shaft attaches--can become worn, and strip out the spline that allows the agitator to properly grip the shaft. Then the transmission shaft rotates back and forth as it should, but the agitator doesn't move properly. If this happens, you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission spline.
After checking these things please revert so that i can provide you with detailed information.

Disassemble the back panel and check for the part#25 and 24. Also check if there is any oil spill. Make sure that the drive belt is not worn. The drive pulley is part#24 in the schematic.
