Jean January 26, 2015 for Model Number A412 Maytag Washer The washer won't agitate but will drain water and will spin. I do get that burning smell or either belts or motor. Not sure if replacing the belts is the problem or not.
1 Answer Jean, You'll need to replace the belts, but first you need to determine if you need a transmission. Remove the front panel, Raise the front of the washer and block it up so it can't fall. reach under the machine and remove both belts. Grasp the transmission pulley and turn it clockwise, the transmission and tub should spin. Then turn the pulley counter clockwise the pulley should turn relatively easy and the agitator should oscillate back and forth, if the pulley won't turn or the agitator doesn't oscillate, you have a failed transmission.

Fred December 20, 2014 for Model Number MAVT236AWW My Maytag washer will not agitate,spin or empty the water. Is this the drive belt and pump belt that will cause this? Worked fine last time I did wash. Thanks
1 Answer Fred, The first thing to check would be the lid switch on the unit. If the lid switch checks ok then you will want to check the pump and see if it spins freely. If not then the pump is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Robert S. December 16, 2014 for Model Number LAT9235AAE My 1995 Maytag laundry washer would run a wash cycle but it would not evacuate the water and go into a spin cycle. The faint sound of the little electric motor in the timer is present but, no sound from the washer/spin motor. I evacuated the water out of the washer. I then unplugged the machine and leaned it backwards to check the drive belt and pump belt. Both belts are in place and intact and the pulleys freely turn with my hand. I set the machine back on it's four feet and plugged it back into the wall receptacle. I ran a new wash cycle and it ran both spin cycles fine without any problems evacuating the water. It seems to be working fine now. I don't know what is happening. I have had this Maytag laundry washer since I bought it new in 1995 and I have never had to replace the drive or pump belts, neither the drive motor. The four feet are adjusted to sit the washer level and secure without rocking or vibrating.
1 Answer Robert, The next time it happens raise and lower the lid, listen to hear the lid switches "click". Also check and make sure the selector knobs are on a selection, and not in-between a setting. After 20 years of use, you may want to consider replacing the belts, The belts usually last 10 to 12 years depending on usage. Read More...
Rose August 19, 2014 for Model Number LAW9406AAE My washer will spin out most of the water. There is a little in there but if I spin it again, then it's all out. Could it be the belt?
1 Answer Hello Rose, This could be the belt 12112425 but you should also verify there is no debris in the hose restricting the water flow. You can remove the pump hose from the bottom of the tub to verify there is nothing in the outer tub restricting the water flow. As a note, you should never change only one belt on this design since it will cause the other belt to slip. Read More...
Joe March 16, 2014 for Model Number LAT9304AAE Before the unit will enter the spin cycle I have to remove some clothed before it will spin effectively. Do I need to replace the belts?
1 Answer Joe, You will want to check the belts for being stretched and not pulley properly. Also check the drain pump to ensure that it is not clogged and keeping the unit from draining properly. Read More...

Jeff January 30, 2014 for Model Number A7800XPN1 Machine will not drain water or go into spin cycle. Also, could smell rubber burning.
1 Answer Jeff, You will want to check the pump assembly to see if there is something clogged in the drain that would cause the pump to seize and cause the belt cause the issue. Read More...
Stanley January 12, 2014 for Model Number LAT8234AAL Washer ran thru cycle and would not empty or spin. Belt 21124 found on floor under washer. Some water found on floor as well.
1 Answer Hello Stanley, Make sure there is nothing under the unit that could get into the belts, If a sock or similar item gets under the unit, it can get in the belt and flip it off. Also, make sure there is no oil under the unit. The lower lip seal in the transmission could be leaking, which puts oil on the belts and pulley. If this is the case, the pulleys should be completely cleaned with rubbing alcohol to remove all of the oil. The lip seal 207843 should be replaced and the belts replaced 12112425. The front panel should be removed to locate the source of the leak. If the pump WP6-2022030 seal is leaking, the water will show up under the unit but not inside. Read More...
Peter November 19, 2013 for Model Number A 608 maytag washer Smell burning guess belt must be broken. How do I repair them? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Peter. Lean the unit back and check and see if the belt is broken or if the bearing in the tub has went bad and needs to be replaced. You just roll the belt on and off the pulleys under the unit. Easy to do. Read More...
Tom October 14, 2013 for Model Number LAT9304AAE My washer will not fill up with water. Does the spin cycle.
1 Answer Hello Tom. See if the fuse on the lid switch assembly is bad. If so, replace the lid switch assembly WP22001682. It is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
