ok, i was doing my laundry after returning back from my 2 weeks of travel. prior to leaving, i did my laundry and it worked flawlessly. but tonight, everything was good till i came home from my office only to find my clothes still wet and the softner didn't even load.
i have a MAYTAG Dependable Care Quiet Plus (Model# LAT9606AAE) and when i tried to get it to spin again, all i hear is the motor running till i hear a high pitch sound and the water is draining.. but nothing is spinning. it got to a point where i smell just a bit of motor burning smell and then i stopped everything.
i followed Maytag's instruction on doing the load again without detergent. and still everything was fine till the spinning part... the water just drains.. but nothing is spinning and the clothes are still wet.
please help!

Someone else had a similar problum
I had 3 times with a squeeling problem. Is it constant high pitch? or high pitch with a bit of base?
My Maytag had simliar or exact. Scince Maytag hucked the dependile care series and unvailed the neptune and performa, they removed parts that are not needy. One of them was a drain filter. If you have anything in your pockets particularly stringy like a necklace, it can slip thru a whole on the drain cycle and get logged in the pump assembly causeing high pitchy noises.
You can fix it your self. Id say it could be the berings, but check the pump. You can by opening up the top, taking of the front panel and dis-assemble the pump assembly.
Note: Maytag isnt as "dependible" as it used to be.

K.Gomes: it's a high pitch noise for a while and then stops. since its a top load type of washer, i've managed to push the pin in while keeping the top cover open so i can see if it spins or not and it doesn't spin at all.
my friend said it could be due to a broken belt or something, since it drains, but just doesn't spin.
if only if i can find a blueprint of this washer so i can open it up and find out what's wrong.
yeah.. i'm starting to think that maytag is not as good as it use to be. :mad:
