I was given a Maytag Supreme Model PAV2300 awa by my son. How strong is the pump in the machine and how high can the waste water be pumped?

see this causes:
It spins, but doesn't pump
drain line is clogged, remove some sock with pliers+test the pump for defective propeller, and replace DO NOT REPAIR
It doesn't spin or pump
frozen pump puller +and replace the pump
It pumps, but the water returns
if the drain hose reach more about 4 inches, cut of the excess
if the hose is lower, install air/gap siphon break assembly
see the diagram.
God bless you

This washer is a single belt driven model that uses a thrust washer system to release the brake when the motor reverses. In wash mode a 200# spring locks the tub place while the transmission agitates the clothes. The pump cannot remove the water in this direction. In spin mode the the brake is released and the water gets pumped out. Here is a great pictorial that shows how to replace the kit along with a Maytag single belt washer service manual.

the pulley and bearing are not removable on your pump. it is replaced as a complete pump assembly.

You WILL need a check valve inline about hafe way up

I WISH I HAD SOME ANSWERS ON THIS ONE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR PUMP MIGHT NEED REPLACING. HOW OLD IS YOUR WASHER? IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO BUY A NEW WASHER. BUT IF IT IS THE PUMP, THEN YOU CAN BUY A NEW PUMP FROM WHERE YOU BOUGHT YOUR WASHER. GOOD LUCK.

Bad water pump. Replace water pump.tip machine back,Look under machine, remove belt, turn pump by hand, if not spinning freely replace pump.

Check your drain, drain hose (make sure the clamp is tight) and check the pump to make sure that all hoses are attached properly

The two possibilities of which come to mind are, something in pump slowing the water outlet, belt loose or needing replacement. Sometimes an article gets over the barrell and sucked into the pump still allowing some water to pass by, but the belt needing to be replaced would prably be my first check. both need Power disconnect then cabinet panel pulled to view both the pump and belt

Bad pump. Tip the machine back and remove the belt. Turn the pump by hand and check if it is locked up.
