Jim for Model Number MLE2000AYW After reading feedback here I replaced the Wax Motor and fixed spin problem. Saved me about $600 and my wife thinks I am a pro. After removing the old Wax Motor I took it apart to see how it works but I am mystified. It has a square rod, a small disk, some odd leads, and is filled with a wax like substance. Could someone explain what a Wax Motor is and how it works?
Answer Hello Jim. A wax motor WP22002119 is just that. It has a disc and wax inside and as the power passes, it heats up and expands the wax, and once the power is removed, it comes back to normal. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, May 16, 2012
