Maytag clothes Washer Won't Spin
Older Maytag clothes Washer: Model A606S; SN: 3232241D1Y
Ever since the water backed up & overflowed it with clothes in it, it will Not spin! Not much room however, I believe a piece of clothing overflowed between the inner spin basket & the outer basket. It makes a load noise & the belts appear to slip. It is like the basket locks up & will not even begin to spin now, as it got worse. How big a job is it to remove the inner basket, my hands are severely messed up with carpal tunnel & I can not do much of anything! Could a wire be fixed with a hook to fish the piece of clothing out? What would you do? Could replacing the pump & main drive belts help? - udarrell -- PROPER A/C UNIT & DUCTWORK Sizing is over 70% of Operating Efficiency http://www.udarrell.com/proper_cfm_b...syste ms.html Solving - External Static Pressure (ESP) http://www.udarrell.com/udarrell-air-conditioning.html |

I have always fixed everything that needed repair-work, can't stop now. I know the outer basket needs cleaning & then I can remove any clothing in there. I also intend to buy new belts as I know the old belts are badly worn. - udarrell -- PROPER A/C UNIT & DUCTWORK Sizing is over 70% of Operating Efficiency http://www.udarrell.com/proper_cfm_b...syste ms.html Solving - External Static Pressure (ESP) http://www.udarrell.com/udarrell-air-conditioning.html |

(So far, though I used the prescribed method, I cannot get the agitator pulled!) Any ideas? I have always fixed everything that needed repair-work, can't stop now.
