The Maytag 2000 washer is tearing clothes when a full load is being washed. I observed a towel getting stuck between the tub and the white plastic (bellows?) Is this the right part to replace and can you give suggestions on how to replace this part. The white plastic band that circles the tub inside is well worn and looks ruff. I believe this is the bad part. Does the washer come apart from the front or the top. There is a dryer stacked on top of the dryer.
I have observed a towel getting stuck in the tub 1/2″ area between the tub and the bellows.

It sounds like you have a bad rear bearing. This will cause the basket to drop down and rub into the plastic outer tub near the bellow. Also, with a bearing that is bad the washer will be very loud in spin. An easy way to tell if the bearing is bad is to lift up on the front of the basket. There should be very little play. It shouldn’t move much on its own without the tub moving also. If it is sloppy with a lot of play it’s bad. To replace the bearing is very expensive and requires a lot of work. Look at the warranty section in the owners manual. The bearings are sometimes covered for up to 10 years.
