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.

Melody for Model Number MAH3000AWW

After replacing the motor and motor control board on my Maytag MAH3000AWW I have a strange symptom. When water is filling into the machine it fills forcefully for half a second, then quiets for half a second, repeatedly until full. When filling in the rinse cycle it does the same thing, but is quite forceful and there is noise in the pipes under my kitchen sink! What could be causing this? It seems like it has to be something to do with the work done to the motor and motor control board, or that I touched something while working on it to cause this issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer

Melody, Replacing the motor and motor control board, wouldn't affect the water valve or water pressure (fill cycle). The control board and fill valve does "cycle" the cold and hot water solenoids off and on to maintain the target temperature for the water temperature selected. You may want to check and make sure the fill hose screens and the valve screens are clean and clear of debris and sediment. The "noise" in the water pipes under the sink, sounds like it could be water "hammer" due to a change in the water pressure or water flow. Did you have any plumbing work done recently ? It shouldn't be due to anything you did or replaced.
