Default Spin cycle off balanace
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: PAV3200AWW
Age: 5 - 10 years
Washing machine becomes unbalanced when I have a small load in it and squeals when it stops. The inner drum seems to wobble a lot. Do I need to replace a belt? Or is there something wrong with the drum?

It may be a problem with your snubber assembly being dry.

The snubber is located at the base of the washer inside the cabinet.

If you move the tub to one side does it center itself as soon as you let go of it?

Here is a link to your washer model PAV3200AWW.

No, when I move it to one side, it stays to that side. It also squeals, when the spin cycle stops

Check your snubber I think you will find that this will solve your problems.
