Thomas C. November 17, 2011 for Model Number Neptune How do I access the Door lock spin enable switch?
1 Answer Hello Thomas. Remove the door and the front panel. Then remove the dispenser and the clips holding the top down. Raise the top of the unit. Now you can access and replace the switch WP22002162. Hope this helps. Read More...
"Involuntary" Diy Lawyer October 25, 2011 for Model Number MAH4000AWQ, SN53381272YK Your advice (with respect to my earlier "won't spin" inquiry) was that I check the three imbalance switches (AP4027729 and AP4026713). Before I go in search of them, should I first confirm that one or more is "open" by (after disconnecting AC power) confirming continuity between Red 23 (wire 1 on connector P3) and Orange 40 (Wire 4 on Connector P2)? Continuity would imply that each is "good"--The absence of continuity would imply that one or more is either open or "bad." Only in the latter event, should I commence my search, correct? On your "Outer Tub" diagram, I find one AP4027729 at location 2 [top] and two AP4026713's at location(s) 16 [side and bottom]. Incidentally, the appliance repairman's $350 charge--in failed resolutio of my "won't spin" complaint--was for his replacement of the motor control board (AP4027728) and the door-lock spin enable switch (AP4028524). But, as long as I'm on the inside of this thing, would you advise that I also presently replace the "Motor-Wax" (AP4026523), just as a precaution to preserve the R-11 resistor on the control board (AP4026827)?
1 Answer Hello. The best way to test the sensors is to raise the top of the washer and locate the two large blue wires going to the sensors. Then test the two wires together and see if it reads closed. If so, the sensors are good. Then you will check and see if the door locks and turns on the spin enable switch. Even if the door locks, and it does not turn on the switch, the unit will not spin. Test the switch and make sure it is good. Hope this helps. Read More...
"Involuntary" Diy Lawyer. October 23, 2011 for Model Number MAH4000AWQ, SN 53381272YK I've just paid an appliance repairman $350 for "who knows what"--although, I'm going to find out. Just as before he "repaired" my washer, everything works, except that it doesn't spin--the clothes are dripping wet at the end of its cycle. It would also seem that the repairman neglected to check the drain path, because I just shop vacuumed 12 dimes and 5 pennies from the pump's intake. (Now, it expels water FAR more efficiently.) I've also checked the R-11 resister--It's visually pristine, as is the remainder of AP4026827. The door locks consistently with the indication of the door-lock light. Again, everything works as it should, just no spin. Although I'm not ready to give up my "day job," I'm presently just a little "down" on my local appliance repairman. Your advice?
1 Answer Hello. Check and make sure the out of balance switches WP22003302 and WP22002044 are good on the unit. Make sure the wires going to them are not broken also. There are three switches on the unit. One on the bottom, one on the side and one on the top of the tub. Hope this helps. Read More...
Deb October 06, 2011 for Model Number mah4oooaww I have a front loader maytag neptune washer. It keeps shutting off. I have to keep hitting the on button for it to run ??? What part do I need to fix? Pls respond asap. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Deb. Check and see if the control board WP22002989 has any loose connection on it, or any burnt spots. If so, you will need to replace the control board. Also make sure the door is locking and working properly, and all of the out of balance switches on the outer tub are working properly and none of the wires going to the switches are broke or bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Marcia August 03, 2011 for Model Number MAH3000AWW The door will not lock so it will not do the spin. Ever thing else seams to be working.
1 Answer Marcia, The first place to start for this complaint, is the machine control panel in the console 22002988 , You'll need to check for damaged / burnt R11 resistor on the control board( the 2 horizontal resistors just above the rectangular blue box)If either is damaged you'll need to replace the control board and the door lock wax motor kit 12002535 ,that should get you up and running. Good Luck and Thanks. Read More...
