I have a Maytag Legacy washer, model MTW5770TQ0, it stops at the drain cycle and can smell burning, have checked lid switch is ok, checked pump is clean, tub turns both directions,agitator turns clockwise,but will not turn counterclockwise

The drive motor which spins the drum is connected to the drum by a rubber belt. Sounds like the belt is burned through. Make sure you can spin the inside tub by hand to verify that the tub can turn freely before you replace the belt. The hum is from the drive motor just spinning freely.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a

Sounds like a bad motor

If your washer does not drain you need to check this parts.

1. Inspect the drain hose for kinks
2. Test the timer control
3. Test the lid switch(some models)
4. Inspect the water pump
5. Inspect the drive belt(belt drive only)
6. Inspect the motor coupler

Some part of the motor burned out that's why you can smell burning rubber. Check some faulty parts.

CHECK THE LID SWITCH, AND CHECK THE TIMER FOR A BURNED SMELL. IF SMELL PROBABLY TIMER. SOME WASHERS WOULD NOT GO INTO SPIN WITHOUT LID CLOSED, BUT WOULD AGITATE.

Hi,
If your Maytag washer is not draining, follow these procedures to find out what is the problem.Set the timer in the spin cycle and pull the knob to turn the washer on. If the washer motor doesn't run, check the following parts.



The wall outlet: Make sure that there are about 120 volts present at the wall outlet. Connect a good working hair dryer to see if it works.If the hair dryer works ok, then the problem has to be in the washer. If the hair dryer doesn't work, then look for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.


The lid or door switch : The lid switch is a safety device use to stop the motor from running if the washer door is opened during the agitation or spin cycles. A bad lid switch could be the reason for your washer not draining.

The pump : Check for obstructions inside of the pump and inside of the tub.
Check the pump impeller, the pump belt, check the drain hose for any kinks. Any problems in these parts could be the cause for the Maytag washer not draining.
Lower the drain hose to a bucket to see if the water drains out. If the water won’t drain or just trickles out, most likely there is an obstruction on the pump or inside of the tub and that could cause the washer not draining.
To check the pump, remove the front panel, lean the washer against the wall and bail the water out with a plastic container.
To check the pump, remove the pump belt and turn the pump pulley to make sure that the pulley is turning freely.
Put a couple towels near the pump to catch any water from the pump. Remove the tub to pump hose at and check inside of the pump for any obstruction. If you find an obstruction remove it.
If you don’t find anything, reinstall the hose and remove the hose at the tub, and check for obstructions.
A Maytag washer not draining could be cause simply by a kink drain hose.
You need to make sure that when you replace the pump, you adjust the belts properly.

yes it sounds like it try this when running open lid if it
does what you say its doing then the transmission needs to be replaced this contains the clutch and it may be cheaper to replace the washer call a repairman

check the lid locks or lid switch

There is either a kicker solenoid that fires every minute to kick a gear, or a tiny AC 60Cycle Induction motor in there that probably burned out. You will need to fix by replacing that solenoid or motor, or the entire timer.

A spider or bug could also nave gotten in there and stopped the motor rotating 60x a second, but if a solenoid it burned out.

Timers cost $30-80.00 and can be bought at Sears, or a good appliance parts store (online too) all you need is model and serial#

Good Luck

this is a bogus website that is trying to push smelly washer product....no real fixes and there are other products out there for less just use bleach first
