I have a maytag pdb2430. It's worked fine for a number of years until it started to make a loud noise when set to start. No water came into the machine either. With past machines I have changed the inlet valve when we had this problem and that has always fixed it. Not this time. Any suggestions?

My Maytag Performa makes a grinding sound when it agitates. When it starts to dump the water it makes a loud grinding on metal sound... really loud. What is the problem and how much to fix?
Prob. some failure of a bracket or loose inside... Have a local tecnician check it out. i think that ll be best cause i can't imagine that will be an easy fix.
if it's making a noise then either your drain pump bearing is going out or your thrust bearing is going out (assuming the noise happens in both spin and wash). Tip the washer backwards so that you can get underneath of it. Take the belt off and spin the pump pulley on the right side. This should spin effortlessly.
The middle pulley is the trustbearing pulley. Spin this--- one direction it should have a little bit of resistance--- the other should have more resistance
Describe the noise. Does it sound like someone hitting a drum or a loud squeel or a big snap? Is it a short noise or does it make the noise and fades to nothing?
may be something stuck in the drum or a segment raised on the motor. to test either remove the belt and spin the drum if no noise then the motor is faulty. if a noise then there may be a bra wire between the drum/tub.
This washer is JUNK!!!!!! We have the same washer (2 1/2 years old) and same problem. Tried to replace the bearing myself, no luck. So I called a repair man to come out and look at it. As soon as i told him the model number, they would'nt even come out. Very common problem for this washer. We are on our way to Sears to purchase a Kenmore.....GOOD LUCK
Yes you definately need a new pump assembly part number 21001906 $59.95. That is a maytag part number and it is a very common repair. The new pump is a revised design and will look different but will mount the same. Axcess through front panel.
No I haven't done this. What voltage should it read?
After an initial noise and no water, the machine decided to work after repeated attempts.
thanks for the responses
