machine was starting to make noises when spinning
My husband unhooked the water lines, unplugged the washer and remove the waste water hose, then we tipped it over and easy as pie the belt came off and the new one went right back on. I did not see any tears or breaks in the old belt, but it was stretched out a bit, and the washer is once again quiet. This also gave me an opportunity to clean under the washer, which we all know we don't do unless we have to. Cheap, quick, and easy fix for someone to do there self.

Washing machine began making a screeching noise but only during the spin cycle - when it was emptying the water from the tub. After a few uses the machine just stopped working.
The pump was easy enough to replace. Access panel in the back and 3 screws and it was off and back on in less than 20 minutes. It was putting the belt on that gave me the most trouble even though one of the pulleys moved to allow for easy replacement it did not move enough. It took me another 30 minutes just to get the belt on. I finally decided to place the belt on the two smaller pulleys and save the larger one for last and it went on with no trouble at all. Learn from my error =]

noisy out of balance during spin cycles
I followed the instructions that other posters suggested. The springs were the toughest part to remove and reinstall. Having my wife push the tub enabled me to use vice grips to get them back on. Read about the coins or washers to spread the springs too late... would have helped. Running a wash now and it's spinning great and no noise!

Pump was making a grinding noise.
I tilted the machine on it's back to remove the drive belt. You could feel the friction in the pump when you turned the pulley. I set the machine back down and removed the back cover (4 screws). I removed the two hoses with a pair of pliers. I used a small socket set to remove the three mounting screws. I ordered the pump. I reversed the process to put it back together. It took about 35 minutes to determine what the problem was and to remove the pump. It took about 20 minutes to put it back together.

Tub cracked while replacing snubber
Remove tub assembly per snubber replacement procedure.
Place tub assembly on top of a milk crate open-side up.
Support tub assembly on milk crate with 2x4's to protect pully from damage.
Remove agitator from tub assembly.
Press down on tub assembly cap, release tabs and remove tub assembly cap.
Remove inner tub from tub assembly.
Mark tub frame with location of outer tub air bell for ease of reassembly.
Remove outer tub from transmission assembly.
Replace inner tub gasket
Replace outer tub gasket
Problem encountered was that the replacement tub had a defective air bell. The washer consequently did not detect fill level and subsequently overflowed flooding the laundry room. The bell looked ok visually. Blowing into the air tube while plugging the inside hole with a finger revealed a pinhole leak in one corner of the PP weld. PartSelect was prompt with replacement, but the job had to be redone in its entirety.
Always test the air bell before installing an outer tub.

Washer noisey during spin dry
Had wife balance washer on front edge while I accessed working parts from bottom of washer. Removed drive belt and turned agitator pulley, transmission pulley and drain pump pulley by hand. Drain pulley hard to turn and shaft had play in it. Ordered new drain pump and replaced upon receipt. Very few fasteners to remove and replace pump assembly. Drive belt was easy to remove and replace. Recommend also replacing drive belt on a washer this old.

Needed to replace the water pump
The Clamps for the hoses were difficult to get to, otherwise was a simple replacement job, involving clamps and screws and bolts.

Washer making loud noise when water pump operating, still worked but made very loud noise
I ordered the replacement pump assembly (water pump)for my Atlantis model maytag washer, removed the old one, installed the new one and works like a charm. The only difficulty I had was trying to figure out how to remove the cover on the front of the washer, to remove the clips, it slid side to side instead of popping out, found the instructions on-line, NO instructions came with the pump but if you have any common sense when it comes to repairs it was easy to remove and install the new part.
