Although I have no idea of what would cause it, or any of how to fix it, I do know it should not squeal. It is common on Maytags that have aged, but the spin should start off without any other noises than those made by the motor, and the sucking sound the pump makes as it first engages. Have a good one, James | ||

"I have replaced the outer tub clamp how tight do you tighten the bots on the clamp?" I grab the biggest screw driver I have and crank them down as tight as I can. I don't think it's humanly possible to damage the tub cover or outer tub. "I've also replaced the belts, but now when the washer spins it squeals, at the beginning of the spin cycle." Did you purchase genuine Maytag belts? The ones you posted in another thread were NOT genuine Maytag belts. Did you clean both motor pulley grooves? Also, I have yet to get Maytag that didn't need a spring/glide replacement and lube (Part# 205000) along with a good cleaning of the sliding carriage. A rare possibility, but no so uncommon if genuine Maytag belts are NOT used, is improper pump pulley tension. Should be 1/4 inch between the pump belt if gently squeezed in the middle.

Squealing pump
I use to work in a laundry with maytag top loaders, the chemicals we used use to damage the pumps and they would start to squeal during first start of spin...once we replaced them the noise would stop....with so many machines running was hard to tell which one was making the noise...once replaced all was quiet....could solve your problem maybe...funny though they only squealed during spin never during wash action...go figure
