Maytag MAV208DAWW washer does not spin clothes dry. Everything else seems to work OK it drains fine, no smells, no rattles or other strange noises During spin cycle it just agitates rather than spinning. I cannot spin the drum by hand when it is in this mode. It appears that brake is on. But if I grab the agitator and try to hold it still, the brake releases and it begins to spin. However, the spin is not very strong, and is easy to stop by holding the drum. I have disassembled the thrust bearing at the bottom and it appears OK. What is the likely solution?
There’s a Cam / bearing kit that is fairly inexpensive that releases brake when spinning. It may be worn. It’s underneath machine under big yellow center pulley. If it’s not that, it’s most likely the transmission that’s bad.
Time for an engineer to look at it

Bad water pump. Replace water pump.tip machine back,Look under machine, remove belt, turn pump by hand, if not spinning freely replace pump.

Its probably you stator plate and rotor. But you need special tools for this repair. There a spring that is under 200 pounds of pressure and if you take the screws off that hold the plate its going to fly into you face if your dont use the special tools to depress the spring. Is it more of a clanking kinda of noise? DOes it olnly happen with heavy loads? Try this out. Fill the washer with water only. and get it into a wash cycle with water only. If there is no noise then put in like a load of towels. A heavy load. Now if you hear the noise now then its for sure you stator plate and rotor..hope this helps, but like i said you need those special tools to do this repair or injury can result from the spring part.
SOURCE: Won't spin, makes clunking noise, drains fine
If it agitates fine , with normal noise , drains with lid closed , then the problem is probably the transmission .
