Frank March 09, 2013 for Model Number Maytag A612 We just purchased Part Number: AP4009168 motor and jumper - and see that the wiring colors and locations of the jumper that was included do not match up with those on the motor. Should we use this anyway or did you send the wrong jumper? Thanks
1 Answer Frank, The Black multi plug cobnnector is attached to the centrifugal switch on the motor, it only fits one way,and locks in place if done properly. The individual wires with the clear plastic terminal covers, attach to the corresponding colored wire in the cabinet wire harness to the motor. Read More...
Art November 26, 2012 for Model Number LAT9824AAE Does the replacement motor for this machine ( #12002353) come with the motor switch attached (#205131) or do I need to order a new switch as well??
Prince B. May 04, 2012 for Model Number LAT8415AAM My washer fills up with water but when it tries to go to the next cycle and wash it hummes and dont move. I push the motor with my hand and it begins to work and completes the cycle. It then hummes again and dont move to let the water out. It fills with water for the rinse cycle and repeat the humming again where I have to push the motor again. Please help.
1 Answer Hello Prince. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor 12002353 is weak and needs to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Michael March 19, 2012 for Model Number LAT9706AAE Washer fills with water, begins agitating but then stops. Burning smell of electrical, not of rubber. Then tried unit with out clothes and it appeared to run just fine through entire cycle. Electrical smell makes me think that motor may be shot and not running under a load... but the fact that it ran fine without clothes made me think that it may be something else that is not 'driving' the tub to turn under load/weight. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Michael. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor 12002353 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
David W. January 13, 2012 for Model Number LAT 8506AAE Fills with water..then huming noise..smelled like burned motor..took off front,motor not spinning..can turn motor by hand but will not spin etc. Thanks David
1 Answer Hello David. If you can turn the motor by hand, but it does not turn with the washer, you will need to replace the motor 12002353 on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Alan December 17, 2011 for Model Number LAT9616AAE My washer also works fine in the wash cycle and then quits in the rinse cycle. The motor also hums and acts like someone is flipping the switch when it tries to run. Voltage at the outlet reads 130, but when the motor kicks in to rinse, it drops to 102-104. If the motor stays running, the voltage goes back up. I took the motor switch apart and cleaned the contact points, but that did not seem to help. Could it be the motor? Everything seems to be free and easy to move.
1 Answer Alan, The issue is in the power supply, not the washer or motor. There should be no more than a 10% voltage drop on a circuit, it it is wired and working proper. Minimum operational volts for the motor is 108 VAC,"under a load" 108 to 104 VAC the motor might start and run, 102 volts or below the motor will hum, but usually won't start/run. You could install a capacitor kit as a temporary repair 206103 or test. but you need to start at the outlet and work back to the breaker box. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Paul M. November 05, 2011 for Model Number lat8440 Machine works ok in permanent press but only the timer runs in regular fabrics
1 Answer Hi Paul. You will need to replace the motor part # 12002353. It is a 2 speed motor. It should run in regular cycle as selected. Thank You. Read More...
Bob October 17, 2011 for Model Number Maytag Model LAT8416AAE Just replaced the timer and it worked great for three days. After that, the washer will not fill or even start in any cycle. Help
1 Answer Hello Bob. Check and see if the unit will spin. If so, and it does not fill, you will need to replace the lid switch assembly WP22001682. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mickey September 27, 2011 for Model Number Maytag A9200 The machine will fill and wash ok, but when it goes to the rinse cycle it starts to spin before it emptys the water. Then the motor kicks out on overload switch. It does same thing when it goes to the spin cycle?
1 Answer Hi Mickey. The new motor comes with a jumper wire and is upgraded. It is part # 12002353. Thank You. Read More...
Bob G August 29, 2011 for Model Number Matag A207 Washer operates normal in wash cycle. the spin cycle startes and sometimes complets spin cycle early morning only. If i try to do a second load the wash cycle completes. The spin cycle starts and turns about three revolutions then stops spining. The timer cycles and the wash cycle operats correctly. When the spin cycle comes up on the dile the motor does not respond. I have to wate till the next morning to cycle the washer through the spin cycle. sometimes this works and sometimes it does not. I have sometime assisted the spin cycle by hand spinning the tub. I have to dothis for several revolutions or the motor stops and i have to wate till the next morning. Could this be low voltage to the machine? / The house? Causing the thermal switch to open. low voltage higher current. I have not checked the house voltage yet. I read the eight questions and thought maybe i have low input voltage to the house/machine. I will check tonight and responed here tomorrow. thank you Bob G.
1 Answer Bob, Sounds more like you've got a power supply problem, than a washer problem. You'll need to get access to a multimeter TJMA-DMT3 . Insert the meter probes into the empty outlet of the power outlet and check for 110 to 120 VAC. Put the timer dial into the spin cycle and pull out the timer knob, and observe the meter at the same time. Voltage must remain above 108 VAC, in order for the motor to start and run. Voltage of 108 to 105 the motor may or may not start and overheat, voltage of 105 or lower, motor may hum, but wont run and will overheat. If the voltage remains above 108 volts and the motor hums, replace the motor, if the voltage is less than 108 volts and the motor hums, you'll need an electrician. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
