Model Number: LA612
Brand: Maytag
Age: More than 10 years
We have a 27 year old Maytag LA612 (good old friend). It will not spin, the motor is turning. I know because I have the front panel off and can see it, the belts are slipping. I have replaced the belts but still slipping. I can rotate the drum/transmission by hand (it's a little stiff). It fills with water and agitates just fine but when the timer gets to spin the motor turns but the belts burn. I'm a novice but my guess is that the tub bearings are failing and creating too much resistance to allow spin (but seems like I should see same problem in agitate?). Thanks for your knowledge, time and help.
