Mark H for Model Number LAT8426AAE While the agitator on my Maytag moves there does not seem to be significant action. For example when washing a pair of queen size sheets the powder detergent does not dissolve. Moreover, it appears not to be spinning out the water from clothes as it used to. I checked the belts and the drive belt appeared loose and was able to "pluck-off" the pump belt. Neither appeared worn just loose. The machine was purchased in May of 1997. So it might be time to replace the belts, but how do I know that this is a belt problem? Could the transmission be failing causing the above noted problems? And if so how do I test for a faulty transmission?
