Jeff for Model Number maytag lat8014aae washer will spin and drain will not agitate.Pulled the transmission cover and its fine. Do you sell the oil for the transmission or can you use automotive type gear oil? I am guessing the timer is bad how do I do a pinpoint test on it? Or just order the timer and send it back if that doesn't fix it? the washer is 21 years old so I am not going to invest a whole lot of $$$ in it.
Answer Jeff, The part number for the gear oil is 6-0560800 Based on your post, the issue would be in the timer WP22001025, if the motor operates in one direction, it's 99%, the motor is not the issue. Basically To pin point the issue in the timer you'd unplug the power cord, set the timer dial to a wash cycle, pull out the knob and disconnect the multi plug connector. Then you'd check for closed circuits between the contacts on the timer based on the wiring diagram and timer cam or cycle chart. But first, have you checked the lid switches and fuse. Yes, if the timer does not solve the issue, you can return the part for a refund, but you'll be responsible for the return shipping. Thanks Read More...
