Jerome K April 01, 2011 for Model Number Maytag stack MLE2000AYW Today, we replaced the timer. Nothing works any better. The machine will start when you push the start button, but the timer still will not advance,so the machine will stop in a short time. Also, the hot water valve on the machine does not ever close, even with the timer in the off position.
1 Answer Jerome, Thanks for the additional information. Now we know you have a bad fill valve, the hot water solenoid is stuck open WP22002437. Now that you have a new timer and machine control board. we can be pretty sure you have a loose connection somewhere in the harness connections at the multiplugs on the side of the tub under the panel or at the new control board. The timer and control board are not communicating with each other. You'll need to perform the reccomended checks we previously advised to make. Thanks. Read More...
Jerome March 30, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MLE2000AYW stacked laundry We replaced the machine control board. Machine continues to malfunction as before- hot water valve constantly open, and timer won't advance.
1 Answer Jerome, There are a couple of other things to check first. Remove the slanted panel across the top of the washer, on each side of the tub, you'll find multi plug connectors(1 on each side) Disconnect the upper harness and check both connectors for loose or shorted wires or pins, and the plastic connector openings for discoloration, indicating a possible short. At the machine control board, you'll need to check for a 24 Volt DC circuit at conn.P7 pin 7 (ylw wire) for 24VDC to the black wire on the relay,and conn. P7 pin 8 (pnk wire) for the same while the unit is filling/washing. If you have no 24 VDC or Low VDC that would indicate a bad timer input contact. The hot water does stop flowing when you turn the timer off, correct. Hope this is a help to you, Good Luck Read More...
