Atlantis model Maytag Washer won't spin all water from clothes. This started after a small heavy rug was washed. The washer when filled with water(no clothes) will pump the water out in 90 sec. With a clothing load, it doesn't spin all the water out now. Any suggestions as to what would cause this?

Thanks for the response. The washer belongs to my sister-in-law. Since I wasn't on the scene I have not yet pulled the front off to check any of the three things you mentioned. I had her filled it up with water(large load setting, no clothes) and set the cycle to spin. It took 90 seconds to empty the water from tub. I thought this would indicate tub spin speed would be ok and there weren't any obstructions in either hoses or pump. Do you think my rational is faulty? I was wondering if the washer had a clutch assy. that had possibly been damaged when she washed the rug as the washer prior to that had been spinning all the water out. Also I wondered if perhaps the belt may have started slipping in dealing with the rug. What do you think? As I don't see a clutch mechanism listed in the parts diagram I assume that rules out a clutch problem. Am planning to pull the front off as you suggest and do as you suggested. Should I put three or four towels in to simulate operating conditions? In the timing test I had done earlier I didn't think of that. With the stipulation that I'm only a "Shade Tree " appliance mechanic, having only repaired mine and those of relatives and friends over the years, I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks again and if you have more suggestions feel free to respond as it will be several days until I get to work on it.

I am having an similar problem. Water will fill/drain, will agitate but will not spin in the spin cycle at the end.

I did the thrust bearing change out, noticed the center actuating cam does not rotate to activate drum when turning center wheel counter clockwise - it will turn with pulley with little resistance. Washer installed was the .032 thick one and the .062 washer is too thick to fit, there is no backlash even with two screwdriver prying from opposite sides.

In this situation, would the .062 washer help?

Any suggestion on how to pry to create enough space to install the locking clip after the .062 thick washer?

I have watched the video. Not having problem installing the thrust bearing kit with the .032 thick washer. I have even incrementally installed an .01" thick washer, in addition to the .032" - not helping. Increased to .05" total thickness, same as .062" - not able to install.

Any wisdom?

I'm having a similar problem but with a Maytag SAV3710AWW. I don't see a Thrust Bearing Kit for this model. Is there something else I should be looking for? Our clothes are still pretty wet after the spin cycle. Draining seems to be fine.

thanks in advance!
