Greg for Model Number MAH3000

Need to diagnose problem with washer. Machine will stop anywhere in the wash cycle. Checked wax motor. It is locking. Checked R11 and it is not burned. Propped a piece of wood against the door to insure a tight seal and still the problem persist. Can start the machine again by simply pressing the Start Button and it will continue in its cycle and stop again somewhere else in the cycle. Sometimes it will go through to the third rinse cycle and not do a final spin. Again, when and where it stops is inconsistent. Problem started after I replaced the door boot (bellows). What do I need to check next?

Answer

Hello Greg, First, make sure the selector buttons are fully engaged for the selections for the wash. You should then check out the out-of-balance circuit. As long as the door lock light is working, I don't believe it will be an issue. Be aware that the manufacturer has recommended that if a micro-switch for out-of-balance is on the left rear strut, cut the wires and splice them directly together to eliminate the switch from the circuit. Don't forget to pull on the two big blue wires in the front center that go to the switch down there. I have seen them simply pull out from a broken wire. This is also in the out-of-balance circuit.
