Maytag top loaders move clothes with either an agitator or an impeller, and the drive shifts between agitation and full spin, which can make a normal clunking sound. Source: Maytag - How to repair a washing machine (top load)
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Washer leaking. Maytag points first to loose inlet hose connections or missing hose washers, then to the drain hose and a backed-up household drain, and to clothes added mid-cycle that raise the water over the tub. Source: Maytag Product Help - Leaking Water Underneath - Washer
- Off balance, shaking or walking. Maytag says to spread the load evenly, confirm the shipping bolts were removed, and level the washer so all four feet sit firmly on the floor. Source: Maytag Product Help - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
