I have a maytag 2000 series front loader washing machine.
Sock stuck in front loader washing machine. For top loaders the sock could sneak into the crevice between the inner and outer drums as a result of overloading. Paid a lot of money and now pretty much the same on clothes ruined. The filters on most washing machines of this type are located on the front left-hand corner of the machine.
If there is nothing there try turning the drum it is worth using a torch to have a good look inside the heater housing -. If you are lucky the wire will be in the top of this hose. Also makes a lot of noise in spin cycle.
Grab the bottom of the agitator and lift it up just enough to give you room to unwind the sock. The first step that anyone can take is placing smaller items like socks undergarments or baby clothes in a mesh bag to wash so they can get clean without getting lost in the inner parts of the machine. Removing the spin basket would require an almost complete tear down of the washer.
Started with kids socks getting into the filter underneath now clothes get stuck in the drum by door and rip causing grey matter to get all over the clothes. And if you ever decide to do DIY by disassembling the washing machine be careful by first disconnecting the machine from electricity and cutting off the water supply. The pump sounds like it is running but the water doesnt drain.

I have a 3 yr old front loading Frigidaire washing machine Model LTF2940FS1 that wont drain and gets stuck at the part of the cycle. Loosen and remove the bolt in the centre of the agitator with a socket wrench. I am going to put everything back tomorrow and try it again to see if.
