Thanks for reading. I've already done much searching and reading, but I'm stuck.
Maytag Performa PAV2300AWW
I noticed that the washer didn't spin a couple of times so I started paying attention. Sometimes the agitator will move, sometimes not. Sometimes it will start moving and stop moving halfway through a cycle. The tub isn't spinning. It seems as though the agitator and tub work better when there are no clothes loaded but I don't have much data to work with here.
My research pointed me towards a bad thrust bearing. I replaced it using this video as my guide. The old thrust bearing assembly did not visually appear to be damaged in any way. The replacement procedure was straight-forward.
But after replacing the thrust bearing I am still having the same problem. So I tried spinning the pulley without the belt on to see what worked. Spinning it clockwise caused the agitator to slightly twitch back and forth. Spinning the pulley counter-clockwise did nothing - the tub did not spin or move at all. There were no noises and I didn't feel anything clanging.
