2001 Maytag PAV 2300 just started making loud grinding noise when it went into wash cyle and continued into rinse and spin as I moved the dial around to those cyles. It also smelled a little like hot rubber at one point.

As you can see in the link, I suspect that the transmission is going or has went. The transmission and seal kit is over $300 with shipment, plus if you are not well versed on washer repair it is probably not something you would attempt yourself. So you will have another large amount for labor.

You have to ask yourself, if it is worth putting that type of investment in your unit!

My maytag performa pav 2300 is making a loud noise while its spinning. Sounds like metal on metal. Its working fine. Its just that noise. We just got a new motor yesterday. What could be the problem ?...

Hello
On this model washer the noise is most likely caused by a worn washer tub seal assembly. remove agitator (nut on the top under cap), spin basket and tub assembly. remove seal and install new one.

I HAVE A 6 YR. OLD MAYTAG PERFORMA PAV 2300 TOP LOADING WASHER. UNIT WORKS FINE EXCEPT FOR LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AFTER SPIN CYCLE. NOTE - ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

It sounds like a spn down noise. I would check to see if the brake spring was changed when the brake and stator was. They had some problems with weak springs.

Maytag MAV7600 - loud noise on spin cycle

It's more likely something caught in the pump or bad pump. Remove the belt under the machine and check the pump pulley for noise.
