C for Model Number Maytag SE 1000 My Maytag SE 1000 washer would fill to desired selection and then just shut itself off !!!.To get the water out of the tub from that situation I I then hit the spin button and it drained the water and then was ok. Since that time if I hit spin 1st before doing anything else the machine would work but now when i hit spin 1st the machine just shuts itself off .You can hear the lid lock click and the lights say spin and even hear the motor engage for 2 seconds but then machine shuts itself off. I dont dare try to fill the machine because more then likely it will stop and then i wont be able to get the water out.at all. It was suggested that it is the motor but I'm also wondering if it could be the control panel.What would be good to start with. Also the se1000 is a combo unit and the washer is normally on a slide track mating to the dryer;is there any trick to pulling out the washer as its be in there for years and to get it out and tilted is a real chore just to work on it alone.Any Help !!! Regards C
Answer Hello C, this sounds like the voltage to the control board is dropping when the motor starts. The control board is powered by a transformer and the motor is controlled by separate relays controlled by the board. Since the control cancels/resets once the washer motor starts under load this would be a voltage check (L1-Neutral 120v,,,L2 to Neutral 120v, on the rear terminal block at the rear top of the cabinet, the line cord and circuit breakers to determine where the voltage (under 100v) drop occurs on motor start.
