I have a Maytag Atlantis top load washer which leaks in the rear right hand corner under the discharge hose, how do I take the machine apart to get to the problem.

Yes. Junk It. Problems that cannot be fixed and customer service stinks

Maytag Atlantis washer goes thruout washing cycle,but dosen't simse or spin....

new brake assembly. please post your model number for further help TY

Start by checking the belt by tilting the machine back and examining for wear, glazing and cracks, next pull the belt to make sure everything turns. Post back if this looks fine.

The belt is slipping and needs replaced.

The timer contacts have welded together. Replace the timer.

the only part that makes a loud noise is your bearings m8 other than that could be a bra wire stuck inbetween your drum and casing m8
