Maytag a806 washer will not spin dry

speedqueen, thanks for the very informative suggestions.
I have checked the motor glides and it does move on the tracks, but could be made to go smoother. Also I checked the pulleys and belt system and all are turning, but I checked them with the belts still on there. I will remove them as you suggested and check all the pulleys and motor again to see if they turn.
I have not looked at belt brand type, but will check that as well.
Could you tell me where is the thermal overload you mentioned? Maybe I could reset it?

Thermal Overload

Is internal to the motor, if the motor is a round type it can be taken apart by a skilled person or motor shop and the TO can be replaced, it is NOT reset-able.

combo52, thanks for that info!! I'll get the new parts on their way then. After 40 something years of service the washer deserves it!
