If your tub is shaking around heavily or making loud clanking sounds during a washing load in your Maytag Atlantis washer, there could several possible causes. For example, you could have a broken plastic seal nut that holds the inner and outer washer tubs together within the unit. You order the replacement plastic nut seal from the Maytag manufacturer or purchase it from an online retailer.
