Larry November 26, 2019 for Model Number MAH4000AWW Front load washer. The door lock light does not come on. The machine does not spin, but does agitate. At the end of a wash cycle no water is left in the machine, but the clothes are soaking wet. From what I have seen it sounds like a door lock issue?
1 Answer Larry, Based on the information, this does sound like it would be a faulty door lock and may need to get the main control board as well. Check it for the R11 resistor being burnt. Read More...
James February 25, 2019 for Model Number Maytag MLE2000AYW Hello, when starting a load in the washer machine I select which wash option I want and press start. The washer will start and a few minutes will go by and it will stop. I would then move the washer timer one click in progression to continue the wash and the washer will come back on. It will do this multiple time and multiple time I will progress the timer forward to wash the load. I figured the washer timer was bad since I did not have a connection or board issue. I have since replace the timer with WP22002452 and I am having the same issue as before. Now I have noticed that the "locked" light will be on one min and off the next but washer will still function as if it were on. What could cause this, I'm open for suggestions? I just want to wash a load of clothes without hovering over the machine :)
1 Answer James, you will want to check the wiring from the timer to the machine control [WP22004325] because if the machine control does not sense return voltage from the timer, it can cause this issue. Another thing that the machine control is responsible for is sensing the door lock. If the control has failed, it will certainly cause these issues for you. Read More...
Danny V October 18, 2018 for Model Number GHW 91000LQ1. Whirlpool Duet Hi spin not happening. Machine ran on and off for five hours till I stopped it. Diagnosis step c-00 - C-08. Ok showed completed. Water drains. Machine runs till high spin need. Shuts off then re-starts till the high spin is needed again. Around 4 minutes of remaining time on gauge. Then starts all over Clothing to heavy for dryer. Water enters and is pumped away it does spin in the wash mode ( slow). Waxing motor guess
1 Answer Danny, This unit does not have a wax motor on it and you would want to check to make sure that the door lock is working properly as far as the spin enable switch working. If this checks ok then the issue would most likely be the main control board. Read More...

Brad December 12, 2013 for Model Number MAH3000AWW My washer will not spin. The door locked light comes on. I looked at the control board and found no evidence of fried resistors. Could it just be a bad wax motor?
1 Answer Hello Brad. If the light comes on, the motor is good. You will need to check the balance switches and the spin enable switch. If all are good, then the motor kit will need to be replaced 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...
Richard December 06, 2013 for Model Number dwu7400 The soap dispenser door does not open at any time automatically. The spring is okay. I thought it might be the wax motor. Please help. Thanks
1 Answer Richard, You are on the right track with the wax motor being the issue. You can test the wax motor when the unit is calling for the detergent cup to open. Check to make sure that there is 120 vac getting to the wax motor. If there is then the wax motor is faulty and would need to be replaced and if not then the issue would be the controls/timer.

Robin April 06, 2013 for Model Number 41744152400 Washer won't spin and I'm getting Error Code E43. Therefore, will this Wax Motor fit on my Washer (or do I have to order the entire Door Lock Assembly 131763202).
1 Answer Robin, Sorry but No, the WP22002119 wax motor will not work on your washer latch assembly. You will need to repalce the complete door latch assembly 131763256 in order for your washer to operate properly. The E43 code indicates and issue in the control board. and it usually does is due to a faulty door latch assembly. Read More...
Caleb November 12, 2012 for Model Number MLE2000AYW The locking mechanism on the washer does not engage so I am looking at all the parts. Does the wax motor move to help the lock engage? The shaft will not move at all on the wax motor...replace?
1 Answer Hello Caleb, Check the main control board WP22004325 for damage. Also check for 120vac to the wax motor. If you do not have power to the wax motor WP22002119 it will not engage. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jim May 16, 2012 for Model Number MLE2000AYW After reading feedback here I replaced the Wax Motor and fixed spin problem. Saved me about $600 and my wife thinks I am a pro. After removing the old Wax Motor I took it apart to see how it works but I am mystified. It has a square rod, a small disk, some odd leads, and is filled with a wax like substance. Could someone explain what a Wax Motor is and how it works?
1 Answer Hello Jim. A wax motor WP22002119 is just that. It has a disc and wax inside and as the power passes, it heats up and expands the wax, and once the power is removed, it comes back to normal. Read More...
Jamie April 22, 2012 for Model Number mah4000aww My washer will not spin water out. It makes a crunching/catching noise as the motor tries to spin. You can see the motor turn but it is jerking like it is locking up. Is the motor bad or something else?
1 Answer Hello Jamie, These are common to have a foreign object up inside them that you cannot retrieve or a separated impeller from the drain pump motor shaft. This sounds like you need a drain pump WP22003059. Read More...
