Often, the machine (Maytag, MAV1000) doesn't spin at the end of a cycle. The belt must be slipping because there is a lot of black "belt dust" underneath the machine. We recently had a serviceman replace the pump and he had to come back a few days later and replace the belt. Since then, we've replaced the "timer" because the repairman told us that it was our problem. I want to know ... "What is keeping the machine from spinning at the END of a cycle? What is causing the belt to slip? Can I repair it?"

I have a feeling that probably your tub bearing may be jammed. You can lift the machine at a 45 degree angle take the belt off and try turning the transmission pulley either way, one way will turn free for wash mode and other way will be more difficult but you should be able to turn the pulley so you could see if if your tub turns if not well you just found your problem. You will not be able to repair it b because you will need special tools.
Other probability would be a garment stuck between the two tubs accessable by removing front panel and lifting the top.
lift top by inserting flat blade tool at each end in between top and front push clips and lift top
Front removal twoo screws 5/16 nut driver on each end inner portion of the front panel.
Unclip tub cover and remove and you will be able to see between the two tubs.

Hope this helps.

Doesn't want to go onto spin cycle just makes funny noises

Possible that there is slippage when the program comes to the spin mode. Please check the drive and see if the belt is slipping or the drive is jammed. If not check the motor drive.

My maytag washer model pav2300aww will not spin even though it agitates and drain but when it comes to the spin cycle it just kind of hums I looked at the bottom of the washer while it was in spin cycle...

Possible the revolution takes place on the top end of the pulley and belt but the centre stem of the agitator is not moving or it is slipping. It can be due to friction in the stem of the agitator due to clogging of dirt and the best option is to remove and clean the agitator.

Maytag HAV2460AWW struggling to spin and drain

Gently tilt machine backwards and look underneath for stretched or damaged drive belt.The drive belt also runs pump. If it is slipping under load then the machine will not spin at full speed and pump out the wtare correctly, thuis leaving some in the machine at the end of the cycle.

Kenmore Heavy Duty Plus Dryer 86273100 drum won't spin

How could the belt be in working order if the drum doesn't spin? Check to see if the belt has come off the motor. If the motor runs but your dryer doesn't spin, the belt is off. If the motor runs with the belt on but it still won't spin then you'll have a lot of black smoke because your drum is jammed. In other words, there are a number of things that could be wrong, but not very many.

Hello,

Either the belt or the transmission. Take the belt off, if it looks glazed, replace it. If not the trans is bad friend.
