my 4 year old maytag washer is agitating and spinning fine except for
this horribly loud squeal! i think it's the belts underneath, the noise
seems to be coming from there anyway. does anyone know for sure before i
buy replacements or screw it up worse! lol besides the really loud
squeal it's running fine. for diagnosis: the squeal started with
just the spin cycle, but is now constant while agitating and spinning.
can it be the belts slipping if i haven't noticed a decrease in
performance? HELP!!!!! I would appreciate any help....

Hi,

my 4 year old maytag washer

Model#?

Pump is something that can cause noises in both agitation and spin.
Belt(s) often do not make noises unless something else causes them too
( crap built up on a pulley, something seizing, etc ).

Thanks for the reply.................
it's a Maytag Performa model# PAV2300AWW

Like i said, it only sqeals during the agitation and spin cycles and
it's incredibly loud. if it is the pump, is there a way i can check to
be sure before ordering parts? thanks so much!!!
Jen

Thank you so much for suggesting it could be the pump! I took the hoses
off of the pump and could see a bobby pin stuck in the "to drain" part
of the pump. A $10 super long needle nose pliers from Wal-Mart did the
trick! Works perfectly now!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
