Maytag won't spin until you lift the lid

The tub agitated fine during the wash cycle, but doesn't always soon during the rinse. It sounds like it wants to spin and the motor sounds like it's trying to,, but the tub isn't moving. If you lift the lid while this is happening, something clicks in the bottom of the machine and the tub starts spinning when the lid is closed

Curdy, it almost sounds like your lid switch is loose or fractured and the lid actuator is not making the switch. Check this out first and post back...Catriver.

SOURCE: Spin Cycle

you can check the direct drive coupling between the motor and the transmission, if the coupling is good and not broken then you have a transmission problem

Its going to be only 1 of 2 or maybe both things, on your washer its going to be a faulty transmission that is stuck in nuetral OR will be a bad clutch/brake assembly that is stuck or has a broken finger that is catching after you slow it down but usually it would make a bad clicking noise if that was the issue so plan on the transmission. Its actually pretty easy to do if you have some mechanical ability. Another rare but possibility would be the block that holds the tub on the tranny shaft, but you would hear a bad noise also when you lifted the lid.

SOURCE: Kenmore 90 tub spins excessively clockwise during wash cycle.

Improperly installed thrust bearing kit. Too many washers cause the basket to spin during agitation.

Testimonial: "Where is the "thrust bearing kit" and how can it be installed properly?"

SOURCE: Roper rab4132hq0 washer does not spin

Sounds like a bad gearcase.You have a machine that is direct drive. The motor is hooked directly to the gearcase by a little coupler. Look under and make sure the coupler is in place if it is then you need gearcase.Again the coupler is located between the motor and gearcase. Hope this helped.

How to add fabric softner to the amana washer with locking lid

Check and see if there is a cup in the top of the agitator. Some machines have you put it there, turning back and forth during wash doesn't bother it, but the spin to empty the wash water causes the softener to go out through slots in the top of the cup and be held in the agitator. when it stops the softener drains into the tub, ready for the rinse cycle.

Hello I have a Maytag Washer Model A512 The machine goes through a regular cycle OK - However, it DOES drains the water out during the rinse cycle, but does NOT drain the water out during the spin...

The timer will always advance to the next program if the machine does not fully drain. There is ALWAYS a spin when draining the water out, there is only one pump and one motor. The waterlogged laundry maybe telling the timer that there is still water in the tub. Put the machine on "Spin" and cheat the lid switch into thinking that the lid is closed. Use a clothes peg or wide ended screwdriver and see if there really is a spin....

Will not spin on any rinse cycle

Hi, This washer does not have a belt. While the washer is agitating, if you lift the lid will it stop? Some models will agitate but not spin if the lid is up. It sounds to me like the lid switch might be going bad.
If you will get me a model #, I can look this up for you and give you a better idea.
