I have an amana Model ALW880QAW Top Loading Washing Machine. It sounds like a bearing is going bad when the washer is in the spin cycle. I am familiar with repairing applicances and I would like to know if this is an issue I can fix myself. i.e - replace either the transmission bearing or shaft bearing

I have an Amana top loading washing machine.. The machine recently emitted a burning odor and the machine has stopped spinning. when turned to spin cycle there are bumping sounds and it no longer spins. Does this model have a belt which might need replacing or does it have a transmission and does it sound like possibly extensive transmission work. If it is the transmission, is it likely repair costs would be greater than the value of this machine?

When turned on to spin cycle it makes a bumping noise and does not spin. Does this machine have a belt or transmission, and if it is a problem with transmission is it likely the cost of repair would be greater than value of the machine?

My Amana heavy duty top load spins slow reguardless of load size. It also leaks out the bottom during spin cycle.

Most likely is a bad belt but could be the pump has a bad bearing in it.

Amana washing machine (ALW880QAW). Does not work in spin cycle. Washer works ok in wash cycle, and in draining water, just the new belt is too loose when it switches to spin. It just burns up the belt....

probably the lid switch is faulty,remove screws behind control panel,then pull control panel toward you and lift up and lay back,now remove 2 screws in the lower front panel by the floor and remove the cover,then 2 more screws to remove upper front panel above the lower one,then 2 more screws in front hold the top on then raise top up like a car hood and the lid switch will be under the top cover
