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.

Trent for Model Number MLE2000AYW

I have a Maytag Neptune front load washing machine and dryer stacked. I replaced the pump I bought from your site, but the clothes are still wet at the end of operation. The R11 is fine, the unit is balanced, and I tried it with no clothes in it and there was still water in the drum. From all I have seen, and since it does not seem to be spinning out, the motor is the last option. What part do I need to buy to replace this? Or do I only need to buy part of this assembly? Thank you.

Answer

Trent, Are you sure there is water left in the tub ? if so you need to check the drain hose(s) for clogs or kinks. you may be hearing the liquid balnce ring in the front of the tub, sounds like water is splashing. The washer has to drain and the water level switch reset to "empty" so the washer can spin properly, check the air dome hose and switch. From there check the spin enable switch circuit( switch on the latch assembly on the right side with the yellow and red wire attached, If the switch or wiring is defective, the door will lock, but the tub won't spin. Good Luck and Thanks
