Timer

Eggman for Model Number MTW5770TQ0

Answer EggMan, Yes, your first checks need to be at the water level switch W10339251 and hose. If the hose is twisted, kinked or clogged with deposits it can restrict the air flow to thee switch and cause the washer to overfill in the latter part of a cycle, or intermittently. 

Alex for Model Number MVWC500VW1

Answer Hello Alex, The unit should not agitate until the water level has been satisfied. You may want to check your hose for the pressure switch to make sure that it is not clogged causing the unit to sense that the water level has been satisfied. If the hose or the air dome on the side of the tub are clear then you would want to replace the pressure switch W10339251. If the unit is going to the extra rinse cycle without being selected then you need to check the switch. In the off position it should not have continuity. Only continuity when closed. If closed when off then you would need to replace the extra rinse switch W10168262. If the switch is good then you would need to replace timer W10111389. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 

Monique for Model Number Maytag model # MTW5870TW0

Answer Monique, Yes, it is most likely the timer W10111389. You may have a loose connection in the wiring harness connector block, but i's more likely a faulty contact in the timer. Thanks 

Fatboygsd for Model Number MT5740TQ0

Answer Fatboy, You're on track, Based on the post description, you most likely have a "sticky" contact inside the time W10111389. When you turn the timer dial, you make and break the contacts inside and they make proper contact and the washer resumes proper operation.

Hayjoe for Model Number mtw5600tq1

Answer Hello Hayjoe! Sounds like the pressure switch or inlet valve is failing. A good way to verify which part is failing is by doing the following test: Start a cycle and let the washer start to fill with water. Unplug the unit. If the unit continues to run, the inlet valve 8578343 is at fault. If the unit stops filling with water you will need to check the pressure switch hose running from the switch to the tub to make sure it is not kinked or clogged. If the hose is ok you will need to replace the pressure switch, part number W10339251. Hope this information helps you, thanks!
