The washer fills with water but won't agitate or drain. The timer makes a grinding sound & advances but the washer won't work. Tried re-setting all the controls, ie temp, load size, switch types of washing & advanced to rinse/spin cycles. Nothing. Is the timer or selector switch broken? I there a way to get it working withour replacing a part? Would consider a front loader to save water but don't want to put money in this machine. Thanks.
I have a Maytag Atlantis MAV6257AWW. I need to replace the transmission. So I removed all four screws from the inner tub but I couldnt get the inner tub pull out, it's stuck.
From what I read on here, the seal nut doesn't have to be remove in order to remove the inner tub.
I tried every, I even hammer the shaft down from the inside of the tub but still no luck. Can someone help, thanks.
Well done !

After having a repairman replace the belt this machine didn't always
agitate or spin like it used to. When I called & asked if he
could come back to tighten the belt, he told me that the problem is due
to a computer card.
It was doing this intermittantly. If the tub was still too wet, I used
the rinse cycle again because the clothes didn't seem to clean.
If it wouldn't spin at the corect speed, I found if you raise the lid
& lower the lid quickly, the momentum of the spin would get the tub
spinning fast enough to get rid of enough water it didn't take 2 cycles
to dry.
I finally ditched it for a Whirlpool Duet HT. No more Maytags...
the 7 yr old dishwasher got replaced a couple months ago too.
Same problem , lifting the lid would cause the machine to go into the proper spin cycle thus draining the water. This machine is most annoying. - BR
My Maytag will continue to agitate but not drain or spin until I raise and lower the lid. After I do this, the machine spins and drains well.
