Are their any new answers for my Maytag neptune front loader washer that makes noise on the final spin. Would several unbalanced loads cause my washer to vibrate on the final spin?
At the end of the final spin when it's building up speed, the vibration noise goes away.

How do you know the motor is getting power? When you start the wash cycle do you get any different noises like you can hear the motor spinning, a squeal noise, a 'grumbling' sound or just nothing at all? Does the drum turn when you push it by hand from inside? Does it spin smoothly and quietly when you turn it by hand?
If you can hear the motor and the drum spins freely this could just be a broken drive belt. Comment below with these answers and I'll try to help you more.
This can be caused by several different things, such as: A bad axle shaft, the differential or transaxle bearings. The ring and pinion drive, wheel bearings etc. Any one of these will cause shaking and noise on deceleration. Check transaxle fluid level, raise vehicle front end and check for slop in the wheel bearings and check for noise while spinning the tire. The wheel bearings will often make noise when lugging down as you put it due to the weight shift to the front wheels. This also applies to the axle shafts and CV joints and the differential.
Defective fan clutch, if it has one. With a cold engine only, try spinning the fan blade by hand. If it does not turn freely, the fan clutch is defective. Warning: When the engine is hot, the fan can turn on by itself with the car not running and keys are NOT in the ignition.
A bad wheel bearing noise will normally increase or roar loader with car speed but depends on how bad it is. If you turn momentary to the left or right while driving down the road say above 30 mph, the noise will change pitch either gettin loader or quieter. Locating the correct bearing to change can be tricky because sometimes it may sound like the left bearing but it can be the right. The best thing to do is to jack the car up on jackstands and get the wheels spinning and while spinning prob the hub area on the back side of the wheel with a mechanics stethoscope to pick up the sound. Placing the plastic end of a long screw driver against the ear while probing the inner hub with the other end works equally well for locating bearing noise. Compare the noise heard while spinning and the noisy one is the bad bearing. Do not spin the wheels fast while on jack stands or it could cause damage to the halfshafts (cv joints). Spinning the back wheels with be hard to do since there is no poweer to them. If they are bad enough, they will still make noise while someone is spinning them by hand. Most shops have a device for spinning the wheels.
Have you checked the front wheel bearings? I've seen similar problems on several front wheel drive cars. On my first experience, we also started by changing the CV joints only to find it did not solve the problem. We then though it was a transmission problem.... wrong again. Finally checked the front wheel bearings (Both sides) and found the passenger side was making the noise. Bearing replaced (not cheap by the way) but solved the problem.
Not all of your cylenders are firing properly. When this happens it causes the Engine to become unbalanced, Hence the rumbling. Check the spark plug wire to make sure they arent loose. Also as a mechanic i would suggest a full tune up. new: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air fitler and oil change. I hope i was able to help!
sounds like the timer/selector switch may be shorting out or faulty. You can test the wires to and from it with an ohmmeter. A faulty water pump could also cause this but not as common
