Exclamation Maytag washer clothes still very wet after washer stops

hello,
I have this issue with Maytag performa Model PAV2300AWW washer, works okay except the washer leaves clothes very wet after the wash. It seems like its not rinsing the clothes after washing.

I have done following troubleshooting
1. I uninstalled the drain pump completely and there is no lint/blockage.
2. I checked the pipes and there is no lint/blockage.
3. I checked the washer if its leveled and it seems its levelled
4 I checked at bottom if the belt is connected to washer.










Can you help me fixing this issue

Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

It's not usually a drain issue. It's usually a spin problem.
Is the unit spinning when it should be ?

An unbalanced load can cause the spin cycle to shut down prematurely.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell us if the sensor or switch that detects an unbalanced load can go bad, and shutdown when it shouldn't.

That is a very basic machine. There are no sensors for vibration.

@pjmax Without any clothes in washer, I checked spin function/operation by putting timer on manual spin and bypassing the top door with a pointed object. The washer spins in one direction pretty fast/heavily.

Since it is also not rinsing it couild be a timer problem.

Perhaps the following will be useful

In your 2nd post you say it spins fast with no load (is that like the speed if working properly?). In the 2 videos it almost seems like something is binding with that very small load. You have a pic of the pulleys and belt, is there any way you can remove the belt and hand turn the pulleys to see if any are binding or tight. This would check if its possibly a bad bearing.

Exclamation

hello Numnuts,
I can conclude that when i turn off washer off for hours and then just run it on spin with empty load then it works like the video below

but if i put few clothes and set it on timer and then wait for it to reach spin it works like those 2 videos I posted earlier

I removed the belt and i tried to move pulley by hand it moved ok
