Buster July 29, 2011 for Model Number Maytag A7300 I have replaced lid switch, checked springs on motor bracket, motor moves freely, belts appear to be in good shape. The washer will fill with water but will not start to wash, the motor will start humming and I can reach down and pull on the belt and the motor will catch wash as normal. I can wash my clothes as long as I stay by the washer and gently pull on belt to get the motor to work. Have to do this at each cycle...
1 Answer Buster, Have you checked the voltage, at the outlet, when the motor is humming ? It has to remain above 105 VAC, or the motor won't start. Do you have to pull on the belt everytime the motor needs to start, or does the motor run the whole cycle once started. At this point it is most likely a worn motor, but could be the timer. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Buster July 29, 2011 for Model Number Maytag A7300 How many springs are there on the motor plate? I see 2 on 1 side and they are ok and I see what looks like a place for another spring on the other side but nothing is there.
1 Answer Hello Buster. There should only be 2 springs on the motor plate. Make sure the motor is moving freely. Hope this helps. Read More...
Buster July 29, 2011 for Model Number Maytag A7300 I now find that I can start the motor by turning the pulley by slightly pulling on belt. Any ideas?

Buster July 27, 2011 for Model Number A7300 The motor pulley is free turning in both directions-does this mean the motor needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hi Buster. Thank you. Is the pump free? If you turn on the timer on wash cycle, does the motor hum ? Then replace the motor part # is 12002353. Thank you. Read More...
Buster July 27, 2011 for Model Number Maytag A7300 How can you tell if washer motor has gone bad? I have replaced lid switch and now the washer will fill with water but will do nothing else... Checked belts belts are ok. Checked pump and seems to be ok.
1 Answer Hi Buster. Do you hear your motor hum? Are you getting 120vac to the motor? Unhook the motor belt and try to see if the motor pulley is freely turning. Is your Lid switch adjusted back to the original spot exactly engaging the lid unbalance lever as before? Is this lever still connected to the spring? this spring part # is WP213720. Did you use lid switch part # WP22001682 and all is reconnected original? Is your Pressure switch satisfied ? Take a small hose and hook it to the back of the pressure switch, turn the washer on in wash cycle and blow into it, this should push the diaphragm closing the internal switch to the closed position allowing your motor to start. This part # is 207363. Or if you feel comfortable using a jumper wire and bypass the pressure switch, you want to jump gry/wht.- to - yellow. Make sure you are safe with 120vac. Please try this before going further. Thank you. Read More...

Erich S. July 06, 2011 for Model Number LAT8714 AAE Washing machine stopped in mid-wash cycle. I removed all the water and attempted to start over. The drum filled with water just fine, but the wash cycle would not start. I tried the rinse and spin-dry cycles, but there is no motor actition even though the "ON" light is lit. What seems to be my problem? If it is the motor, how do I get it? Erich
1 Answer Hello Erich. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch WP22001682 may be bad on the unit. You will need to test the lid switch and make sure the two switches are working correctly. If not, you will need to replace the lid switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
