We have a Maytag Neptune Top Loader Model 6800 awn. I toke the front panel off and put the washer on spin cycle when it kicks on it turns fine one way but when it reverses it only goes a little way then locks up no codes on control panel is it the clutch or what ?
I will point you to apostfor FAV6800AWW clutch maintenance/replacement.I also recommend a $60 clutch for the machine in that post.
The FAV6800AWW/FAV9800AWWuse a One-Way Roller clutch bearing.This allows CW Clockwise rotation Agitate/wash cycle to drive the transmission which will rotate the tumblers.In Spin Cycle the Motor Controller will reverse the Motor direction and rotate the Clutch Pulley in the CCW/Spin cycle direction.The One-Way Roller clutches lock up in the CCW direction Spin Cycle direction. To make sure I’m clear is the Clutch Pulley locking up in the CW direction the Agitate/Wash cycle direction?If so it sounds like the One-Way Roller clutch bearing are frozen/rusted up good and that will mean a clutch pulley replacement.You won't get away with clean up and re-lube of the Roller Clutch bearing.Just to let ya know there is Troubleshooting Guide in the console of the machine.Pull the power cord and remove the three #15 Torx screws top back of the console and tilt the access panel back, it should be in there.It has a schematic of the machine which was handy for me until I got a soft copy.

Well two possibilities, First and cheapest, the door lock switch, if that dosn't do it well, the its is a diode on the main cuircut board. Ohh! By the way my neptune is siting of to the side, and Im still using my old washer. GOOD LUCK
Hey bob_marianne , Common problem with the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW. If you have basic mechanical skills you can fix. It’s just a tight work area to work on the Clutch in this machine. See this post for the details and you can get your $1K machine back in service. Sorry to say a lot of these machines get tossed for a $50 dollar clutch. Let me know if you have any questions after you read the post.
I had that same problem. I lift the top up by using a screwdriver and pushing in clips that are in the front. Lift lid carefully from the front. A hinge in the back will hold the back of the lid. Look where locks are located and see if they are connected. On my washer the connection was barely on. I reconnected the lock and have not had problem since. Good luck.
does not Pump or Spin
