Maytag Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Maytag washer clothes are still wet at the end of the cycle, the washer may not be spinning the inner tub fast enough to remove water. This washer not spinning out water problem is most often caused by a worn clutch, especially on top-load models. A failing clutch can prevent the tub from reaching proper spin speed. Next, inspect the drive belt for breaks or looseness on the pulleys, and replace it if damaged or slack. A worn clutch band kit can cause the same symptom when the model uses one. If the transmission engages but the outer tub spins slowly or not at all, inspect the basket drive, spin tube tabs, and drive block for stripped parts or worn clutch pads. The hub may also have stripped teeth and fail to engage the inner tub. Finally, a defective motor control board may not send power to the motor. Enter your Maytag washer's model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.

Common
04 - Maytag Washing Machine Basket Drive
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
Common
05 - Maytag Washing Machine Hub
The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Common
06 - Maytag Washing Machine Motor Control Board
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
