My very old Maytag Lat5005ABW washer (top loading) won’t spin …agitation and draining are ok. There’s nothing stuck between the tubs. I can turn the tub from the top (both directions) but it requires a large amount of force (the transmission moves when I rotate the tub). There was a burning rubber smell so replaced the belts but same issue .
The motor pulley spins freely in both directions.
The drive pulley spins freely in CCW direction (and agitator spins, transmission does not move). When spun in CW direction , the pulley moves freely for about ¼ to ¾ rotation ( varies with application) moving up vertically slightly as it rotates and then hits resistance and requires large amount of force to turn further ( the transmission and tub turn as I force the pulley CW).
So am wondering if brake assembly, transmission or bearings (Brake assembly or tub bearing or?) or ?.
