Michael for Model Number MAV8551AWW The wash machine won't enter the spin/drain cycle on its own. It will drain & spin if the switch is repeatedly pushed/pulled until it will eventually engage & proceed with the cycle. Since playing with the switch gets the machine to run, would replacing the switch (I believe it's the timer switch) get the machine running properly?
Answer Hello Michael. It sounds like you have found the problem. If the machine will start to spin by working with the timer WP22004380, then the timer is probably bad, and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, May 6, 2011
