Removing Tub from Maytag Atlantis Washer

I want to clean between the inner and outer tub of my Maytag Atlantis washing machine (MAV 6257AWW), and just want to remover the inner/white metal tub. I removed the agitator and the four visible bolts, but cannot remove the white metal tub. Please provide step-by-step directions as to what I need to do (or provide me with a link to a website describing this; I've searched for a while but can't find what I need). THANKS in advance

    Thanks for the comment. I was able to remove the tub with a bit of force. I found that rotating/spinning as I pulled up worked really well.

    Thanks again.

I do believe that when you remove the four bolts, it should come out. Sometimes you have to use a little force and shimmy left to right to get it to break loose (no hammers please) especially if you have a lot of scum build-up from soap. They can really be a bear sometimes to remove. Maybe put your foot in the bottom of the tub and hit it on both sides to work it free. Good Luck!!! Jim

    Great, glad to hear you got it out. Be sure not to overtighten the bolts that holds the tub down, they will snap on you for sure. Glad everything worked out!!! Jim

Remove maytag inner tub
Remove top cover, take out the bolt remove the small cover to expose the plate with several screws,remove the screws and lift the inner tub up. Usually this requires two people to get the tub up and out as it is very hard to pull up as it kind of sticks to the shaft

My maytag atlantis cycles but wont spin out. It spins slowly then shuts off but leaves wet clothes and water in tub.
First determine whether all the water is pumping out before it goes into spin. If not, check the pump and drain. If its not spinning fast enough with an empty tub check that there isnt any article of clothing caught between the inner and outer tubs or tub top ring. If thats ok check the clutch by turning the main drive pulley CCW. Substantial drag should be felt before the basket overcomes momentum and begins to turn. There is no repair for the clutch on this machine. The transmission must be replaced.

Can i remove the softner dispenser out of a Maytag Atlantis washer. There is a musty smell and I think this is where it is coming from.
yes you can remove both the cover the and the cup
the cover just pops off
grab it with both hands a gentle squeeze and pull tword you,, it should pop right off
then snap back in when your ready
it would also be a good idea to wash your tub once a ytear with crystal dish washer detergent
1 cup and and empty load this will help keep your outer tub clean of soap residue

My Maytag washer has a defect, technican told me, that lets water get between the tub and outer lining and sit there and stagnate smelling terrible.
The water always goes from the tub to the outer shell, that is where the pump connects. Put a little bleach in the tub with some water, shake the agitator side to side to move the drum enough to circulate the bleach around the tub. Then pump the water out and then lower the hose down to a bucket to get the last of the water out. Feel around between the inner and outer drums for anything that has jumped out of the inner tub to the outer drum. You should be able to push the inner drum aside enough to get your arm in. You may have to open the top to get your arm in the space.

Maytag MAV 7000 stopped in rinse cycle with water in tub. When turned on, there is a low buz sound. Was making a louder noise prior to stopping.
RepairClinic.com

The top of the washer lifts up like a car hood after two clips between the top and the front panel are pushed with a putty knife. Once the top is flipped open, the screws that hold the front panel in place at the top can be removed and the panel lifted off. The belt may be bad or something may be stopping the belt like a bad pump. Or the transmission drive pulley and bearing may be going bad. If the bearings above the transmission drive pulley fail the brake will not release correctly in the spin cycle causing weak, slow or no spin. The belt & pulley system can be accessed by tipping the washer back. The belt is routed around all three pulleys under the washer and is fairly loose until the motor starts. It is the torque of the motor that gives the belt tension. Leaking or loud "jet engine" sound in spin indicates a bad main tub seal at the outer tub which has caused the spin bearing to fail. This is a complicated repair as the inner and outer tubs need to be removed from the washer to access and replace the seal and bearing components.

Maytag mav6200aww removing inner tub
I broke a hammer removing the basket on a 6000 series today. These are known to be a real ***** to remove. Once those screws are out there is a seal nut to remove and the basket hub assembly is what it sits on. Look at 5 and 7 below.

My maytag atlantis mav6200 only spins on whites cycle
Try running the machine in another cycle the very next time you use it. I'm trying to determine if this is machine fault something else.

If you just used the machine wait for about 1/2 hour before starting it again.

WTW5200SQ0 pumps but does not spin and makes a very loud noise My Whirlpool top load washing machine will fill and go through the cycles but when it goes into the spin cycle it starts making a really loud grinding sound and it will not spin. I have replaced the lid switch, the motor coupling, the drive block, agitator dog ears, and the clutch assembly. When it goes into the spin cycle (but not spinning) and making this noise I looked underneath it and the motor coupler is spinning but the clutch is not moving. The clutch is brand new. I did not see anything obvious that seemed wrong.. Could there be a problem that I have not found yet?
