Ann for Model Number LAT 9704 AAE I have a 1995 Maytag washer that stopped spinning out on all of the cycles except for delicate. I put off ordering a timer while the delicate cycle still worked for the last 4 months or so. Last night, the delicate cycle stopped working as well. The machine would fill on all of the other cycles, and proceed through (timer advanced) the cycle until finished, but would do nothing while in the spin section of each cycle (timer still advanced, but other than an occasional click, I'm assuming whenever the machine was going to do something different, and at the end when the spin cycle is shutting down). Last night, the machine filled and agitated without any trouble, but the machine was still full at the end of the delicate cycle and the dial had already moved past the spin cycle to the end. This morning, I syphoned out the water and then tried one more time to see if the spin would work. Instead of silence when I tried it last night on the delicate spin cycle, I heard a loud humming noise, as if perhaps the motor was trying to run, but nothing inside the machine was moving. It only made this noise on the delicate cycle spin section, as I tried each of the other cycles as well, but only had silence and no movement in the machine on those cycles. I had assumed that the timer had gone bad and needed to be replaced, but now with the loud humming, I am wondering if the motor is also going out, or if there are some additional parts I also need to check before ordering the timer and motor. Can you help me narrow down the problem parts and figure out which ones need to be tested and/or replaced? Thank you so much for your help!
Answer Hello Ann. It sounds like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. It can cause the motor to hum in the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, October 28, 2013
