Maytag Washer: How to Remove Tub

I want to clean between the inner and outer tubs of my Maytag Atlantis MAV6257 top load washer. I flipped the top off, removed the top plastic collar, removed the agitator and removed the four bolts at the bottom...but I cannot get the inner, white tub to budge. Please provide detailed instructions (or a link to a site with instructions) as to how to remove the inner tub/basket. I looked for a long time on the web but can't find the info I need. THANKS in advance.

    cannot remove the tube on my maytag top loader,  model number LAT7400AAW.  The agitator is out, the top rim and seal is out, but their seems to be no bolts in the bottom of the tub to loosen. their is a sort of crimped cap fitting that won't budge.  Help me if you can, please.

    states to rotate the flat nut counter-clockwise.

    So far, it's not budging.

    But should it turn "counter-clockwise."

    Instructions at
    http://www.applianceaid.com/tub_seal_rep...
    say the nut is left handed and opens "clockwise."

    The nut is on really solidly. WD40?

    Thanks for any help.

Under the agitator is a flat nut with notches in it. this nut requires a spanner wrench that will fit into the notches. You can use a large channel lock plier. rotate the nut counter-clockwise. under the nut will be a seal. remove the nut and the seal and pull up on the inner tub. to replace you'll need to replace the seal. if the nut isn't too chopped up, use this to refasten the tub.

    I used a 2 inch round cutting blade on my drill and removed the nut. But I can't get
    the tub to come up. I usally throw maytag in the scrap metal bin. Because they are junk
    Any whirlpool direct drive is a lot easyer to take a part.

I have used several remedies and products for a smelly top loading washer, but the odor persists in the rim at the top of the tub. I have tried cleaning as far in as I can with vinegar and bleach and tried spraying a disinfectant inside, but the odor persists.I took the fabric softener dispenser apart and cleaned all the gunk too. is there anything else i can try?

Depending on the particular model number of the washer, the flat nut may open either counter clockwise or clockwise (left hand screw).

Mine is LAT2300AA and opens clockwise. And nothing would work until I got the spanner wrench. Improvising just didn't do it. My parts store let me use it for $5 instead of buying it for $20.

You remove it by dragging the soory thing out to the curb and let the garbage truck pick it up. Then go down to Sears and buy a good machine.

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.

I have a Maytag Atlantis MAV6200AWW. It often does not empty out the tub when it is finished, and the water is still soapy after it is done. If I turn it back to spin it does and drains ok.
If your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out. To remove the sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the clothing through the port.If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump.

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.

Hello, Our Maytag washer drum is stuck
Hello, the most common problem was clothing objects getting stuck between the inner tub and the top tub cover, run your fingers between the two and see if you feel any stuck clothing (socks) for example. Good luck
