Jfredricks March 14, 2012 for Model Number Matag MAH3000aww I was replacing the door latch wax motor and the machine control board (R-11 fried). The machine was unplugged. The front panel was still off and I was getting ready to install the machine control board. I accidentally bumped the door and it closed and locked. I went ahead and installed the control board and turned it on to a cycle to try to get the latch to release at the end of the cycle. It will not unlock. Is there something out of alignment keeping the latch and lock engaged? Needless to say I can't get the top open to access the wax motor or get the door unlocked, regardless of power on or off. How can I access the latch or wax motor to get the door unlocked? All cycles work but at end of any cycle the door lock light remains on permanently and the door won't open. Help please.
1 Answer Hello Jfredricks. There should be a neon green cable going from the latch to the dispenser assembly. If you pull this cable it should unlock the door where you can open it. You will need to check and see if the wax motor WP22002119 is installed properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check and see if the R-11 resistor is burnt out on the control board WP22002989. If so, replace the control board and the wax motor WP22002119. Hope this helps. Read More...
Stephan K. December 10, 2011 for Model Number MAH20PDAWW Hi. My commercial Maytag washer stopped working. I don't know model number, it has display on top front and 6 operation buttons. The display shows reselect cycle and door locked. I open, close the door but nothing going on, the buttons are not responding. Any ideas What did it happen?
1 Answer Hi Stephan. You will need to replace the control board part # WP22004172. If you have any issues with locking/ unlocking then you will need to then change the door lock switches and spring. Let us know if you have any questions and we can assist.further. It is expected to be available by Dec- 30th. Thank You. Read More...
John November 01, 2011 for Model Number mah3000aww my machine goes through the whole cycle but does not go to the full spin?what part do you think i need
1 Answer John, A couple of checks to make first, Does the door lock, Does the tub drain completely, and are the option buttons properly pressed and locked down. Does the washer tub actually spin slow, or does it start to spin and then tumbles for a few seconds? if the washer spins but slowly, you need to check for loose wires at the control board and consider a motor control kit 12002039 if it spins then tumbles, you'll need to check for loose wires and a faulty off balance switch (there are three) WP22002044 WP22003302 . Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Tom. October 01, 2011 for Model Number mhw2000aww How do you remove the wax motor? I have the front panal removed but can't get the wax motor out!!
1 Answer Hi Tom. You will need to remove the spring latch at the back end of the Latch assy. Part # is 22003717/ You will also have to replace the spin enable switch. Part # is WP22002162. The light bulb is part # WP22002263. The door lock switch is part WP22002119.The wax motor is part # WP22002119. All these parts (excluding the light), allow the door to lock and tell the board it is ready for hi-speed spin. Thank you. Read More...
Steve June 28, 2011 for Model Number MAH4000AWW The control baord just below the left retaining nut smoked the resistor and I traced back and found the wax motor doesn't work and is open when checked with a ohm meter. Will the wax motor cause this to happen on the board?
1 Answer Hello Steve. Yes, if the wax motor is bad, it will burn the R-11 resistor. You will need to replace the control board WP22002989 and the wax motor WP22002119 to repair the machine. Hope this helps. Read More...
Larry June 13, 2011 for Model Number MAH3000AWW Will the wax motor extend part way if the resistance is low 800 vs 1900/? The motor locks the door but does not always close the spin switch. I can jump the switch and washer spins.
1 Answer Hello Larry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the wax motor WP22002119 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dona June 10, 2011 for Model Number MHW2000AWW Am ordering part AP4026523 as my spin will not work when the door will not lock. So that is taken care of, however I have another problem, when my washer spins while emptying water, water is coming out the bottom. I can not locate where it is leaking from the back end of the machine. Do you have any suggestions of how to look more easily into where the hoses are all connecting rather than taking dryer back off looking and working down?
1 Answer Hello Dona. You will need to remove the back panel on the washer and see where the water is leaking from. There is no easier way of doing this. Hope this helps. Read More...
