Garcia September 28, 2017 for Model Number NFW7200TW I have an Amana front load washer. It will not spin. The door was locked and I had to pry it open to get the clothes out. It makes a noise as if the spin cycle wants to starts but then it quits. Spin never starts. I took off the back panel and put the control to spin only and it makes a noise but nothing is turning...The drive motor or the tub. The belt is nice and tight but the motor is not turning the belt. Any advice you can give me will help. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Garcia. Test the motor. If good, replace the board. Normal resistance is approximately 3.0 O between any 2 pins (1,2 or 3) on motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Katherine January 29, 2016 for Model Number NFW7200TW I have a 2007 amana washer. Lately I have noticed that there are still suds in the final spin cycle. The load will have some suds with 8 min left. Also, I don't think it is draining properly as the loads feel a bit more damp than usual. Then it doesn't seem to "catch" for the final spin. The spin is not fast enough to remove water. What should I check first?
1 Answer Katherine, You will want to try to run the unit with a cup of vinegar through a clean cycle using the hottest water you can. It sounds like there could just be a buildup of detergent that could be causing the unit to not spin properly. Read More...
Christine November 19, 2014 for Model Number MAH8700AWW washer MAH8700AWW making a loud whining noise on spin cycle that gets louder as RPM's increase. I replaced entire rear outer tub thinking it was the bearings. Put back together and still get loud noise. Took belt off and ran washer on spin cycle. The noise seems to be coming from the motor. All videos I watched on internet said the whining noise would be the tub bearings. I was only going to replace the bearings however, we discovered a crack in outer rear tub when we disassembled it, so we replace entire rear. How can I be sure the noise is the motor now? I have already invested 220.00 in one repair. I read to test the voltage in motor, however if it is a voltage switch I think my model requires the whole motor to be replaced. Is this correct?
1 Answer Hello Christine. If you unhooked the belt and the noise was still there, and it is coming from the motor, then the motor is the problem with the unit. Read More...
Ron November 17, 2014 for Model Number MAH8700AWW My washer can't go through a complete cycle without getting hung up with an E3 alarm. When I try to restart the washer, I hear a humming noise 3-4 times like the motor is trying to turn - then it locks up again with an E3 alarm. I ordered and replaced the motor, thinking the problem was caused by a failing sensor. However, the problem still exists. Would you recommend that I replace the control board? If so, please let me know the specific control board I should order. The serial number of my unit is 10303152GE. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Ron. If the motor is new, the next thing to check is the bearings in the outer tub. Make sure the inner basket turns freely and the bearings are not bad. If that is good, then the board will need to be replaced. Read More...
Antoinette October 01, 2014 for Model Number MAH6700AWW I replaced the motor drum and now the belt keeps slipping off what is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Antoinette. Make sure the motor is installed properly. If so, you may have bad bearing and need to replace the outer tub assembly 34001458. Read More...
Bree July 07, 2014 for Model Number Mah8700AWw My washer does not spin, what do I need to do to check the problem?
1 Answer Hello Bree. Check and make sure the drain pump is good and is working on the unit. If not, it will prevent it from spinning. If it is good, you will need to check the motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Denise April 21, 2014 for Model Number mah8700aww I have a 2005 maytag neptune washer, everyone keeps talking about a e3 code but my washer is displaying a 3E code is it the same thing..???? When I look it up in the manual E3 it says motor not control board. Washer will wash but throws the code when trying to spin to rinse.. Also will throw code when rinse and spin cycle only.. but will spin on spin only. Do you think replacing motor will do the trick or should I just get a new washer? Please help I called a service dept they came out and charged me $109 to walk in and say its broken what a crock they didnt even test it or try to fix it. I had to cancel the check and what a headache... Please help.
1 Answer Hello Denise. Yes, the code is for a bad motor on the unit. This can also be cause if the bearings are bad and binding the drum up in the unit. Read More...
Tracy December 05, 2013 for Model Number Maytag No. MAH6700AWW The washer was on spin dry and I heard a noise, then it sounded like a violent unbalanced load at which point I pushed the off button. I have disassembled the washer and have not found any debris or broken pieces. All rotational items spin freely without noise. When I test the function on an empty spin cycle, the signal goes to the motor, but it does not rotate and makes a noise like a "bad relay". I cannot see anything that looks like a relay. The control board test from the manual that comes with the washer says that the control board is good. I cannot remove the connector from the motor to test the resistance directly. I cannot separate the connectors from the motor to the control board. How do those separate; where is the lock to separate these connectors?
1 Answer Hello Tracy. If it has a bad relay, you need to order the main control board 34001479. Read More...
Jon October 02, 2013 for Model Number MAH6700AWW I turn the washer on and once it wants to engage the drum motor starts humming without turning. How do I know if its the drum motor or a control board problems? I took the belt off to see if the drum motor would just spin, but it didn't. Also a few days ago the washer was making a weird sound. Thanks, Jon
1 Answer Hello Jon. Test the motor. If good, replace the board. Normal resistance is approximately 3.0 O between any 2 pins (1,2 or 3) on motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Phong H. November 11, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MAH8700 My washer machine stopped at a middle of cycle and code E3 display. I replaced a new motor and have the same problem. What should I do beside the motor. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Phong. If the motor is good, you will check for a bad wiring harness or connection. If they are good, you will replace the control board 34001494. Hope this helps. Read More...
