I have an older Maytag top load washing machine with some odd problems and I'm not sure how to diagnose what's wrong. I've spent a few days searching forums and Google for clues and I just keep going in circles.

My washer fills up without issue, the timer moves correctly, clicking periodically as it tries to initiate spins, rinses, etc. However, nothing happens in the tub. The motor isn't spinning the tub, there's no agitation, no rinsing, no draining. The timer makes its way to off and buzzes, washing machine still full of water. That's pretty straight-forward, however, when I set the dial to the Delicates Spin cycle, it promptly drains and spins the water out. Quick cycle, regular cycle, and permanent press cycle do nothing but fill and sit but Delicates will fill, sit, and drain at the end.

The timer moving through the motions makes me think it's probably okay. The Delicates spin cycle makes me think the motor, clutch, and belts are okay. I don't know where that leaves me though, any and all thoughts are welcome! I'm baffled.

Any resolution to your problems on this? I have a similar set of of signs and problems with my Maytag
