 Hi Guys, First off, I love the theme of your whole site, and have been laughing my way through it.

I have an Maytag Atlantis Model MAVT834AWW, we bought in 2000. It has suddenly started making this horrible grinding/pounding noise when the agitator is engaged. The agitator is moving, when the machine is empty, and still feels strong, although it wasn't moving well when I first discovered the problem, it had a big load of jeans in at the time. The rinse cycle is working, and the basin does spin for the rinse cycle.

I have been browsing many forums seeking knowledge, and need a brew after doing so to heal my brain. I am seeing suggestions ranging from a blown transmission, to a brake not releasing. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Jon
