Walter B February 09, 2020 for Model Number mlga2000ww Washer fills the I hear groaning and tub won't agitate. then machine turns it self off. I took off belt to verify that tub rotates freely and the bearing was ok. Early on before total failure motor was struggling and i helped it by hand and it did do some agitating and then it just stopped completely. I am really leaning towards that the motor has failed. mainly because of the loud groaning when trying to agitate. Any input before I pull the trigger on the motor. I really dont think it is the control board,thanks
1 Answer Hello Walter, most likely the motor control board is failing and causing the motor problem. If you would repost your question along with the serial number we can then find the correct part as there are changes the manufacturer made on the drive motor and control board over time.

Jm September 04, 2017 for Model Number MHW2000AWW Washer serial number 40383269WH - washer runs, when switching direction during agitation, makes screech sound or squeak sounds, then continues, does the same, sometimes stops completely. I took off back panel and replaced belt - still does it - I can see washer motor stop to switch direction, then start in new direction and squeak/screech sometimes stutter. Please advise. Thank you
1 Answer Jm, You will want to check to make sure that the tub is spinning freely but this issue sounds as though it may be caused by a faulty motor. Read More...
T. August 05, 2017 for Model Number Neptune My washer fills and agitates without problem. It will not drain and makes a grinding noise when trying to drain. Any Ideas?
1 Answer Hello T. You will need to check and see if the pump is clogged. If not, then it sounds like the drain pump is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Melody December 15, 2016 for Model Number MAH3000AWW After replacing the motor and motor control board on my Maytag MAH3000AWW I have a strange symptom. When water is filling into the machine it fills forcefully for half a second, then quiets for half a second, repeatedly until full. When filling in the rinse cycle it does the same thing, but is quite forceful and there is noise in the pipes under my kitchen sink! What could be causing this? It seems like it has to be something to do with the work done to the motor and motor control board, or that I touched something while working on it to cause this issue. Any ideas? Thanks.
1 Answer Melody, Replacing the motor and motor control board, wouldn't affect the water valve or water pressure (fill cycle). The control board and fill valve does "cycle" the cold and hot water solenoids off and on to maintain the target temperature for the water temperature selected. You may want to check and make sure the fill hose screens and the valve screens are clean and clear of debris and sediment. The "noise" in the water pipes under the sink, sounds like it could be water "hammer" due to a change in the water pressure or water flow. Did you have any plumbing work done recently ? It shouldn't be due to anything you did or replaced. Read More...
Nick August 06, 2015 for Model Number 12002039 My Motor sounds like a jet engine. I know it is the motor because the other bearings are still good. I removed the motor and manually spun the axel and it was obvious that is where the sound is coming from. My basement got very humid this spring and I am pretty sure I need to replace the bearings in the motor. Any word on where I can buy those?
1 Answer Hello Nick. You can not get just the bearings. You will need to replace the drive motor 12002039 on the unit. Read More...
Craig Vb June 26, 2015 for Model Number MLE2000AYW My washing machine will run in the Easy Care/Perm Press cycle only. The Regular and Delicates will fill with water, but won't spin. I already replaced the wax motor. The R11 resistor is OK. What could be causing this?
1 Answer Hello Craig. It sounds like you have lost your high speed on the motor board and will need to replace the motor kit 12002039 on the unit. 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...
Oscar June 24, 2015 for Model Number MAH4000AWW When in high speed spin mode the washer makes a loud like jet engine noise, I read the other post is it the bearings?
1 Answer Hello Oscar. Yes, it sounds like the bearings are bad and the outer tub 22004465 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Eric February 08, 2015 for Model Number MAH5500BWW I need to know correct motor control board to order for my model please Serial Number C3249514JC Had a repair man put one on and it didn't fix issue. But I believe he didn't have correct one. I get no spin or aggitate and the control board just humms. Started with a FL code and that lead to nowhere. Motor doesn't spin in motor test and all my switches check out. Repair guy said it was pressure switch but I believe that it should still spin in motor test?
Jerry December 05, 2014 for Model Number MAH4000AWW I had the wax motor for the door fail on my washer and it burned out the R-11 resistor on my original control board. I replaced both parts with new pieces. Do you know if the issue with the wax motor failing and burning out the resistor R-11 on the control board was addressed with the new revision boards or will I have the same problem when the wax motor fails in the future? If it wasn't addressed would you recommend changing out the wax motor again after 6 years of service as a preventive measure? My drive motor failed after 15 years of service. I have ordered a new motor kit and drive belt. I would replace the wax motor now as I have the washer apart and have to get parts anyway. It would be cheap insurance verses buying a new board again.
1 Answer Hello Jerry. There is no fix for that. If the motor fails, it can burn out that resistor. Read More...
Patrick April 01, 2014 for Model Number GSL9365EQ2 My Whirlpool Ultimate II washing machine started making an extremely loud noise when trying to enter the spin cycle. I changed the coupler, but that was not the problem. The drum only spins in the clockwise direction when I manually spin it. The drive block does not look new, but it does not look worn either. The clutch appears to be in good shape. I disconnected the water pump, that did not resolve the issue. I'm afraid it may be the motor. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Patrick. Check the clutch and see if it is bad. If it is good, then it sounds like the transmission may be the issue with the unit. Read More...
