Hi, The machine, Maytag A 506 will agitate during the spin cycle but will not spin. 4 years ago I replaced the tub seal and bearing ( stem and boot ), the injector, two belts and the motor springs. Any ideas I would appreciate greatly. ThanksIMG_2157.jpeg
 
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.
 
The machine just agitates when the dial is in the spin mode instead of spinning.

The oil - would that be a transmission seal gone bad?
I don't want to get a new machine. This one has served us well for 38 years.
 
GE filter flo washers agitate instead of spin when helix spring clutch is broken-similar cause with this Maytag- those in the know with Maytags could advise where this helix spring is on a Maytag
