Motor for a Maytag dependable care washer
I think you need the correct motor to fit your washer, but from your problem description it doesn’t sound like the motor is bad if you only have trouble with it spinning it’s a belt or motor belt tension problem.
If it goes through the wash cycle without problems. It could also be low voltage or other issues. John. | ||

Motor for a Maytag dependable care washer
These motors are not considered re-buildable, they are glued together.
I did find one clever guy, one time who actually would knock them apart and glue them back together, but it’s certainly not worth the time. These motors are a dime a dozen if you were nearby, I would give you one. They don’t fail very often to begin with. It’s usually the last part of a Maytag that wears out. John. | ||

 Looks like the mounting studs need to be moved one hole to the right. Is there a locknut on the bottom?
The main area with spin cycles issues is the motor carriage. Make sure the tracks are cleaned, lubed, and the rollers/glides in good condition. Also make sure the drive belt isn't worn. When the fabric coating wears out, the belt grips instead and slipping which causes problems in your description. Also check the bearing in the pump by twisting the pulley. Is should turn very smooth and easily, with no rough spots. | ||
