Maytag Atlantis 6451 noise when on and agitator doesn't work.

- stops mid cycle - spin cycle is okay - belt looks okay - when close lid during wash cycle, motor seem to engage with excessive noise/buzz - agitation/wash engages, them mid-cycle stops - what would be the cost to replace the motor? I put my clothes in the maytag washer and it began to run fine then all of the sudden it made a noise and the agitator did not turn. Now the agitator does not work. I would like to know whether it is the agitator or transmission. I would appreciate it greatly.

It does sound like a bad motor.
they are rather expensive on that machine,
you would be looking at 300 or so

    Since the spin cycle is ok, it obviously isn't the motor, which doesn't cost $300, it's only $125.15 athttp://www.appliancepartspros.com/partse...

    More likely it's something broken in the transmission, which is what controls the agitator.http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partse...

Maytag Atlantis 7700 - Noisy agitation/wash cycle from motor

Your drive motor may be fine. Check the water pump that is located in the back behind the small metal door on the left bottom corner and see if thats where your noise/water is coming from. These extraction pumps have bearings casing that gets mangled and locked up. Look right above the flywheel that the belt rides on in the W-pump.

Maytag Atlantis screeches @ end of spin cycle,

may be something stuck in the drum or a segment raised on the motor. to test either remove the belt and spin the drum if no noise then the motor is faulty. if a noise then there may be a bra wire between the drum/tub.

Won't spin

Sounds to me, your belt is slipping. The motor tensions the belt with springs. The motor slides in grooves to keep the belt tensioned. These grooves get gooked up with dust, dirt, rust, slime, etc. Move the motor back and forth a few time to clean the grooves. Also spray some lubricant on it to help clean it and make it slide freely. Be sure both sides slide back and forth in their groove. After doing this, your belt should stay tensioned enough not to slip during the spin cycle. No tools needed and even the average moron could do it. Hope this helped.
