Another place to look... A common thing to find is a coin in the outer tub. It'll move around the tub and get caught in the tub outlet by the suction from the pump. As soon as you turn off the washer, the backflow of water going back into the tub will 'pop' the coin (or what ever) back into the tub. It won't always get caught every cycle but often enough to drive you insane. You can try to remove the top end of the tub to pump hose (hopefully with the water out) and stick your finger up there to see if you find a stuck coin... RCD |

I had a button in the tub to pump hose that acted like an erratic check valve since it was the exact diameter. Simple fix for a troublesome problem. |

I notice sometimes when the machine is spinning, if I push the slow speed, and then I push the fast speed, it will start to drain. How weird is this? Or do I need to take this Maytag outside and shoot it? lol |

How high is the drain? The washer is designed to drain in to a sink no higher than the top of the machine. |
