  • Restores rotation when the washer won't spin or agitate
  • Stops symptoms like grinding, loud noise, or motor humming during cycles
  • Works with the appliance's driveline and wiring harness to transfer power
What's included:
  • One drive motor
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before starting and follow all safety precautions
  • Handle carefully—motor and mounting hardware may be heavy or awkward
  • Verify electrical connections and mounting alignment during reassembly

Ken for Model Number MHWE200XW00

My washer is showing no error codes but stopped with 1 minute left in cycle. door was stuck locked. I manually released door checked again for codes but only showed 88. I ran it again empty through a normal wash everything seemed to work except the motor would not run. It went through all cycles without the motor running at all and stopped again with 6 minutes left before the end of the cycle and door is locked. Any suggestions ? I think the motor is bad since it is not running and all wired appear to be connected properly. I haven't checked the ohms yet across the motor but thought someone with experience may have seen this before. Thanks !

Answer

Ken, With this issue it would be more likely that the main control board is faulty. If there was an error with the motor or motor control there would be an error and the unit would stop according to the error. The fact the unit is going through the entire cycle and the motor never moves then the main control board is seeing the movement even if though it is not.
