It's the brake squeaking every time the tub indexes, it's very apparent in the clips. Check the brake.

What's the problem with the brake? If it's making noise, it just needs a few tablespoons of oil. If the tub is indexing, that's kind of problem as the internal springs weakens with age. You may be able to shim the spring with washers to get some tension back. I have an NOS spring on hand and...

Welcome aboard, good to see those who got their hands dirty in the trenches back in the good old days post on the forum. You probably remember when my set was brand new on the showroom floor.

They were, having serious issues with control boards, pumps, motors, U-joints, and seals.

Welcome! I'm guessing you purchased a Model 32 if has an aluminum square tub. Check out the YouTube channel of BradRoss63, he's our resident Maytag wringer washer guru who has done some fabulously detailed restorations. https://www.youtube.com/@BradRoss63/videos

It will depend on your water hardness. I have a water softener so Level 3 on the detergent cup works great for the dirtiest of loads. Harder water will require more detergent but if you have used regular Tide powder in the past, I find the same amount works just as well if not better.

Best to shoot a picture of the sump/tub during main wash cycle after the water has dripped down for a minute.

Slip the belts off and turn the transmission pulley counterclockwise (looking from underneath the machine). This should cause the agitator to move. Spin the pulley clockwise (opposite direction) and it should climb up the helical shaft, lock and spin the inner tub (you'll have to overcome some...

I can scan the 810 and 712 charts in a few hours. Might want to start another thread with this originally being a dishwasher topic.

This is a Norge based Maytag, otherwise known in these parts as a Norgetag. Check the brake and its functions, it may need adjusting. https://fixitnow.com/wp/2010/06/24/checking-and-adjusting-the-brake-in-a-maytag-mav-or-pav-top-loading-washer/

Is the motor running during the spin cycle? I hope that mess slung around the interior cabinet was due to the stem/boot seal 4 years ago or you have another problem.

I use the same amount as regular Tide powder.

My knowledge is only on TOL models through 1993 so: A810 Allowed the user to advance from the "Timed Soak" cycle into the "Regular" cycle or not via 2 buttons. A712 Same as above but no longer able to stop the machine after the "Time Soak" cycle. It banged right into the "Regular" wash cycle...

It does work in cooler temps but through experimentation found the hotter the water is, the more effective it becomes. Temps above 155F cause the elastic in my underwear to ripple and the elastic in my socks to become loose and droopy. This is the reason for keeping temps a smidge below 155F...

Not that I'm aware of, a video would be fantastic. Loading it up on Youtube would get a wider audience and preserve it for future viewing.

Good 'ol shrinkflation at work.

The pre 10 series will prewash/soak but spin drain before going into the next cycle or just stop altogether, depending on the model and options. That changed starting with the 10 series. The good part is longer wash times in the same detergent as you described above. The bad part is that...

Here's a YouTube clip of the portable version if you are curious about a review and its functions.

It's legendary machine around these parts. As long as you aren't offended by noise and water use, I think you'll enjoy clean dishes in record time.

TOL Maytag washers do just that from 1980 through at least 1993 and they'll throw in short agitation spurts during the soaking period. Maybe the later ones do as well, I'm not up to date on their cycles.
