Manufacturer Part Number: 12002039

This is a Whirlpool washer drive motor and control board. The drive motor and motor control board are responsible for the spin cycles of the washer. A faulty motor may show signs of malfunction through a slower than average spin cycle. When the control board shorts out, the washer typically will not spin at all.Begin installation by removing the body of the washer. There are two screws at the base of the console. Remove these screws and flip the console back. Two clips are holding the body in place. Remove them with a flat-head screwdriver. Push these clips and pull the body off the washer. Now that the motor is exposed, remove the screws holding the motor in place with a nut driver. Two more clips fasten the motor. Push these clips with the flat head, and the motor is free to remove. Unplug the control board's wire harness from the washer. The new component is ready for install after these steps.The part is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM product. This kit is sold separately from the washer. This product is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, and Admiral appliances.

Katrina for Model Number MAH3000AAW

My Maytag Neptune front loading washer was sounding like a jet engine in the spin cycle, so we replaced the bearings and seal kit. After re-assembly, the machine does not appear to go into a full spin cycle. The washer will spin fast, but not for an extended period. Clothes now come out extremely wet, a problem I didn't have prior to replacing the bearings and seal. I have tried running additional spin cycles and the washer still will not go into a full term spin cycle. I have read in another forum that someone had the exact same issue and found it to be "a loose connection on the motor" but they did not elaborate as to what was loose. Ideas?

Answer

Katrina, You may want to check the drain hose first, it may have gotten kinked or twisted when the washer was moved back into position. The motor wire harness is a "multi plug" connector 22004212 and 22002471 (if you still have the original motor) and will only attach one way. It is routed from the motor control board WP22004046 to the back of the motor 12002039, it can be unplugged and re attached to make sure it is seated and locked in place properly.
