If you can continuously rotate the drive pulley CCW and the agitator agitates, the transmission is bad. Eric | ||

Yeah, could be the splines on the brake rotor are stuck to the splines on the transmission and won't release or the thrust bearing/cams are dirty or combination of both. Eric | ||

Is there any way to clean the brake splines without removing the brake itself? | ||

oh and by the way... Maytag Atlantis/Performa washers were all made in herrin, Illinois. I have never heard of a Newton manufactured performa style machine. | ||

There were a HANDFUL of Maytag machines that were labeled "Performa" that were actually Newton built AND Newton Platform (Dependable Care, short stroke transmission) Maytag machines. I have the console of one of these machines that Swestoyz parted out in MY collection of toys! This particular machine was an LAT2500AAE.

Norgechef
Sorry for the harsh post. I just have had NO luck with these things. That Atlantis at my folks house has had problem after problem. The motor and the transmission both went bad in the first 5 years now the timer is bad and the leveling system won't work. Also the Maytag serviceman who I bought the machine and parts from said it was a Newton built machine with the Norgetag trasmission.
All that said these machines do wash and rinse extremely well. It's just too bad they aren't more reliable. WK78 | ||

I know what you mean.... Its a shame they didn't redesign the balancing mechanism....because they won't balance out on there own very well. Maybe the older models or Atlantis's were manufactured with less care or effort making them even less reliable.... | ||

At first I thought Maybe the transmission spinning for spin would have something to do with it, but I quickly remembered the old Maytag ones (especially the helicals) which can go for YEARS with no issues. | ||
