Can't you -carefully- heat it up with a torch? It helped removing a stuck pedal on a Shimano bike crank for me. |

Liquid wrench penetrating oil. W-D40 should also do it. Let it soak in a few days before heating it up. |

Yeah, a blow torch/dryer will often help with freeing up stuck parts.
Others will have to confirm one way or another, but could the spanner nut have a reverse thread?
You might try punching applicable terms into the "Super Searchalator" option at the top right of the forum index page, below the regular search field, to see if there are any old threads with helpful information. |

@Askodude I don't have a torch and husband doesn't want me to spend any more money on the machine. I have to make do with what I have on hand. |

One of our local experts has confirmed you should be tapping your spanner wrench in the clock-wise direction, for this particular washer. |

Depends on if the extension cord is heavy enough for the length. I had trouble with running some Maytags (A206 and A608) via (too light of) an extension cord, the motor had trouble under load getting up to speed to drop out of the start winding. I'd expect PB more likely to help than a vinegar soak. |

@DADoES The appliance cord is 15 Amp/125 Volt. Would this be sufficient? |

I have the same washer. The coasting to a stop after spinning... mine coasts to a stop. As for advancing while agitating opening the lid stops the machine, So I can't help you there.
This is a very durable machine 15 years old (approx) and very heavy use and still running fine. So fixing it will pay you back in years of service. I will be repairing mine if it gives up the ghost before I do. |

@tinkr Thank you for taking the time to check on the spin/brake function of your washer. I'm really liking the wash/agitate action of this Maytag. |

How easily should the pump pulley spin/rotate? |
