Shaun February 08, 2023 for Model Number A211 I do take note that some of preferablly the 2 crossed terminals where the L1 White/ green stripped wire connects and the Hot side of the power cord is very loose can move it up down compared to the 2 other timers i have NONE of them do that could that cause the issue?
1 Answer Shaun, You have stated that you are getting proper power to the motor but the motor will not turn. This will be a faulty motor and you will need to replace it. It is understood that you had a used motor that you installed but you will need to get a new motor for this. Read More...
Shaun February 07, 2023 for Model Number A211 Just checked my motor it is getting 120 volts to the motor switch in fact it's getting a little over like 124 still the motor does nothing. I do have another motor one with the adaptive wire harness. i am still a liitle skeptical that it is the motor switch or the motor itself for some reason.
1 Answer Shaun, If you have 124 Vac to the motor then it would be the motor that is faulty. Read More...
Shaun February 06, 2023 for Model Number A211 Just removed the motor from the washer disconnectted all the wires expect for the ones that run to the switch to inside of the motor i set it to ohms with no power to it it is reading OL on display is that normal?
1 Answer Shaun, You would need to make sure that the centrifugal switch is closed to get continity on this. Your best option is turn the meter to voltage and test for 120 vac to the motor. Read More...
Shaun February 06, 2023 for Model Number A211 i did not touch the wires to the timer motor how would you verify that 120 VACis making it to the motor? my fluke miltimeter says in the instrctions to NEVER test live connections. I do know that the firsr trial run the brown number 15 wire was not on the 15 terminal on the timer it was tiedinto the power cord when i applied power heard a HUM or Buzz then my GFI outlet tripped then all the otehr testes i have done i just hear the timer motor running or varies clicking and claking coming from the timer. there is absolutly no life in the motor not even a momentary try dead silence.
1 Answer Shaun, You would set your multimeter to vac and test at the motor with the washer turned on and there should be 120 vac between the blue and yellow wire of the motor. The meter will allow you to test live voltage as long as it is on the proper setting. The voltage ac setting will be V with a wave line above it. Read More...
Shaun February 06, 2023 for Model Number A211 This is continuation of the maytag saga i can't find anything wrong with the motor no arcing no burnt contacts spins freely not noising when spinning it manually but still no agitation timer is fine water level switch is fine same with lid switch. this is driving me nuts. I have ensured that all the wires are on there proper connectors and all are tight.
1 Answer Shaun, the wiring for the timer and motor would need to be double-checked. From there, the start windings and run windings of the motor 12002351 would need to be tested for 120VAC during operation. If there is 120VAC at the start windings and run windings, the motor would be the cause of failure if it is not humming or trying to operate. Read More...
Shaun February 04, 2023 for Model Number A211 Did what you suggested tested the lid switch for continuity it passed lift it up no continuity tested the timer for voltage seems to be ok is it normal for it to bounce around number kept going to 30 then back down up again? Voltage seems to be getting to the motor. What bothers me is i had ONE wire out of place the brown number 15 wire when i pulled the timer knob out i heard a HUM then my GFI outlet tripped could i have shorted out the motor or the timer? there was no smoke.
1 Answer Shaun, If voltage is getting to the motor then the motor would be bad. Yes, missed wired could cause damage. Read More...
Shaun February 04, 2023 for Model Number A211 Hi, I have a 35-year-old washer that I am trying to get to agitate and spin. I blow into the pressure switch hose and clamp it off the washer is not fully assembled I don't want to put it all back together until I know it will agitate and spin anyway, I pull out on the timer knob and all I get is the sound of the timer motor same in spin a tried another cycle same thing. I am thinking it is either the timer or the lid switch. Hopefully, you can pinpoint exactly what part is faulty. According to the wiring diagram, all the wires are in their correct or on correctly.
1 Answer Shaun, Thanks for the question!!! You will want to check the lid switch W10820036 for continuity when the button is pushed in. Replace if no continuity. If it has continuity then you will want to check for voltage to the motor. No voltage would likely be a faulty timer WP206230. If the voltage is present that means the motor 12002351 is bad.

Shaun December 18, 2022 for Model Number A211 Picture we took of how the wires go on the timer is not good enough can't figure out where the wires go please help!
1 Answer Shaun, Check the machine timer wires for the location number on the wire. If not you will need the wiring diagram and/or a technician. Read More...
Shaun December 18, 2022 for Model Number A211 Hi the picture that was taken for where the wires go on the timer is not good enough to determine where all the wires go i am hoping that someone can tell me where the wires go on the timer.

Matt Jag December 03, 2019 for Model Number A-512 All cycle work except,no drain function.beltsgood , both rplcd,pump spins freely,hose from drum to pump clear, impeller ck’d on pump is not slipping on shaft.No burnt smell at pump,assume pump is good,all cycles work except Drain function. Herd this motor needs to run in reverse for Drain function, as there is no vavle on drain path.would a timer control unit be next item to suspect or motor?
1 Answer Matt, Yes, the timer WP206230 / 206230 Timer would be the next step in the diagnosis process, The motor does have to change the run direction in order to drain and spin. this is accomplished through the timer circuitry(the timer reverses the polarity to the motor, the motor direction reverses and the washer drains and spins. The drain pump is a non-electrical, belt-driven drain pump, as long as the shaft isn't seized, and the impeller is secured to the shaft the pump is fine. Unfortunately, the timer is no longer available from the manufacturer. The manufacturer no longer sells the part. We can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us and we don't know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it. Try eBay, Amazon or similar sites. Search by using the manufacturing part number. You can also try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model or usable part for your machine. Lastly, try to contact refurbishing companies, they may be able to repair or refurbish the timer. Thanks, Read More...
