Thanks a lot! Yes, the drum does spin when the "Spin" cycle goes on...just no drainage. Thanks for your advice. I will check it out. |

The suggestions so far cover the most common causes. One small warning, hope you don't mind - but I nearly lost my head to a Maytag once: When it spins, that whole transmission is rotating at very high speed inside the skirt. With the back off, you are in real danger of death or destruction. So be careful. Oh, other possibility just occured to me. Maybe somebody put a cover over the drain hose or a cork in it or some such while it was in storage - and it fell in, blocking things? One quick check whether the pump is out (seldom with a Maytag) is to lay the drain hose below the machine. if water flows out then, the problem is either the belt to the pump or the pump itself. |

The belt fell right off the motor to pump...Very loose...duh. The motor and pump are nice and tight to the chasis though....they dont seem to have worked loose. SO...it does look like the belt...for now. |
