Clothes look like they just came out of the hamper. The water pressure is the same as it has always been and this problem just started. It is also a lot louder than it use to be.

There will always be some residual water left in the outer tub after draining. This is normal for most washers. Purchase a container of Oxy-clean and cycle the washer a few times using hot water settings with a half-cup of Oxy-clean added to each cycle. This will help remove any organic matter left behind that might be causing odors.
unplug the power. open the top of the washer to expose the tub. Hold on to the top layer of clothing and rotate the tub by hand in the direction that untangles the clothes.
Make sure you are not over filling the washer, when my mother in-law does the laundry, it ends in a tangled mess. However when I wash them, no problem I shake the clothes out before I put them in and I try not to overload the washer.
This is not water that you hear. It is a form of liquid ballast that stabilizes the drum and counterbalances the weight of the clothes when the machine spins the clothes dry.
if you do not see water in the tube and the clothes have spun out enough to go into the dryer when the washer cycle finishes the washer has drained out all of the water the water you hear in the tub when the door is open and you spin the tub with your hand that liquid is in the sealed balance ring , that is a sealed channel around the front of the tub to help the machine stay balanced it does not come out
Continuous Unbalanced Circuit.
Improper signal from Tub
Displacement Sensor.
Wet Clothes
• Very small clothes loads can cause unbalanced
loads - add additional towels.
• Excessive suds may have been present.
• Check Tub Displacement Sensor connection and
main harness connector at machine control board.
• Check Tub Displacement Sensor for 0 to 3.0 Volts
DC output voltage between ground and the board
input. Check for 12 Volts DC input voltage between
the ground and the board output. Only check for
voltage at the Tub Displacement Sensor. Do not
perform a continuity check. See Tub Displacement
Diagnostics
• Excessive motion was detected in spin Run Quick
Spin Test with an empty tub to check Tub
Displacement Sensor and machine control board.
• Check for restricted drain system.
I just did a repair on my FAV6800AAW by lubricating the needle bearings in the clutch pulley hub, the tub displacement sensor checked OK per the service manual check. I was getting dc/uc errors in the spin cycle, washer was purchased in 7/05. I have basic mechanical skills and used a socket wrench to remove clutch pulley hub, just follow the service manual removal steps to remove clutch pulley hub. Pull the plastic cover off the clutch pulley hub and inspect the spring, clean/lube needle bearings and the clutch hub coupler that drives spinner shaft. I used WD40 I may need to re-lube down the road with a good light grease. It took a few tries for me to get the clutch pulley hub to stay on after re-install and power up, getting the clutch pulley seated properly is the trick. I did not remove the washer tub for this fix, I just leaned the washer back to get a better reach angle, it is a tight work area. I did not want to junk 3.5 yr old $1k machine with out trying a fix. If you want to work on this model get the service manual, I found it online and I believe you can order it in PDF format from Maytag. Good luck! I just went thru my 10th load of a mix of light, medium and heavy loads and all work fine no unbalance errors (DC/UC). Doesn’t fix the tangle problem :) Prior to this fix I could only run the washer with no clothes in it to complete a cycle with no dc/uc error codes.
does the washer have paddles on the inside of the drum if it doesnt then try putting alittle less clothing if there is too much clothing then the items tenned to get pushed together and tangle themselves up which means together they are to heavy to spin
