Occasionally, after filling the tub (wash or spin) and engaging the trans (?) there is a VERY obvious clicking sound. If I manually reposition the tub the click most of the times goes away. Sometimes it take a couple of adjustments. Its about
7 years old. Is this gonna be a big one?PS this is not related to the thread directly before this one
If you post the washer's complete model (and possibly serial) number we can see which design it is (there are several different ones) and what components of it may be responsible.
You can find tips for locating the model and serial number tag on your appliances in the 'Repair Parts' section of my site linked below.

Hi,
Model#? Maytag has made a few different styles....
If yours is the Dependable Care style....the motor pulley has been known to make clicking noises if it breaks and starts to come apart...looks like this one...

As Jeff said, check the motor pulley to make sure both halves are still solidly attached to the center hub. Other than that, you'll likely need to determine where exactly on the machine the sound is coming from. It could be just a hose or wire harness has come loose and is striking other components from the movement during operation.

Hi,
The GOOD old Dependable care style Maytag washer :)
How are you "manually reposition the tub"?? Is the inner basket loose at all? Might be hitting/rubbing the plastic tank cover.

I just push the tub left,right,front or back.
I don't think its loose, always had a certain amount of "give". I'll have to prop her up and have a look. Thanks for the tips.
