David for Model Number Maytag Centennial- MVWC200XW1 Washer fills up and starts to agitate but for only about dozen agitations then it just sets there doing nothing . It was doing this every once in awhile but does it every load now. It does it on both the Normal & Heavy Duty wash settings. I tried it today on Casual for the first and it ran a complete cycle with no trouble. If i put it in the Rinse & Spin or the Drain & Spin the washer performs fine. I did the diagnostic and it gave me the F7E5 error saying bad actuator/shifter. Do these symptoms seem consistent with a bad actuator ? (or bad timer etc. ?) Washer is aprox. 6yrs old
Answer David, That can occur. first check to make sure there are no loose wire connections at the shift actuator connector, wire harness or control board. Then check or replace the shift actuator WPW10006355, When you install the new actuator, make sure the shift tab on the switch, engages the lever from the splutch properly and that the actuator itself is properly mounted and secured to the casing.
