Gary May 28, 2026 for Model Number A412 I used your troubleshooting tips and ordered a new motor. Replaced it and it still wouldn’t work. Starts to spin then stops. You can hear a click from the motor. A few minutes later it will click again and I can restart it only to get the same result
1 Answer Hello Gary, thanks for reaching out to AppliancePartsPros.comFrom that description it sounds like the capacitor 200832 has failed as well. Unfortunately, that part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available for purchase. The manufacturer does not list a compatible substitute or replacement part. You may be able to find a suitable replacement with a local repair shop or hardware store, but we would not be able to suggest a specific part #. Read More...

Mike November 04, 2012 for Model Number maytag A112 washer stops from time to time on 2nd rinse cycle. shuts completely off. Then if you lift the lid and close it will work and hang up only on the 2nd spin cycle again. under premanent press, it does not work but emits a burning smell, is it the timer switch the cause of this issue?
1 Answer Mike, Yes, the timer could have a faulty contact, and could create a similar situation. By raising the lid, you remove power from the circuit, when the lid is closed, the circuit is re established and the washer works. Read More...
Jim A August 17, 2012 for Model Number A512 The outer knob won't stop on the "off" it keeps going around the dial. It doesn't rinse & spin out the water. We replaced the timer as you suggested for someone else and it didn't help. What do you think is the problem?
1 Answer Jim, If the washer doesn't drain completely, the water level switch circuit will not reset to empty, and will allow the neutral circuit to remain closed and the timer motor will continue to advance. You will need to check the pump and drauin hoses for clogs or damaged impeller. Remove the tub to pump hose and check the tub outlet opening for possible deposits, debris and blockage. disconnect the air pressure tube from the water level switch and blow into the tube, to clear any debris that may have built up in it.

Ron May 18, 2012 for Model Number MAYTAG WASHER LA 112 The operation cycle begans by filling the tub to the selected level. Instaed of starting the wash cycle it goes to the final spin cycle and stops when the spin is through. Skips the wash cycle completely. Sugestion!!
1 Answer Hello Ron. Based onthe information you provided, if the timer continues to run to the spin cycle, you will need to replace the timer WP206686 on the unit. Read More...
John H. February 16, 2012 for Model Number A412 My Maytag Model A412 is making a humming sound from the control panel. This just started last week and the washer is working fine. My question is this a symptom of something in the timer going bad?
2 Answers John, If the noise is there from the time you pull out the timer knob, until it shuts off, it very well, could be the timer WP206686. If it's an intermittent noise, we'll need to know what part of the cycle it occurs, so we can advise you better. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

Mary C. June 03, 2011 for Model Number Maytag Model A390 series 4 Heavy Duty Extra Capacity Yesterday, the wash, rinse, spin cycle would not stop, but would continuously start up again. I could hear a ticking noise after the last spin cycle (when the machine would normally stop) and then the water started pouring into the machine again and it would spin and stop and start up again. Would replacing the timer fix this problem? Is it a normal problem with such an old (but in very good condition) machine? Thank you for your suggestions as to what is wrong.
1 Answer Hello Mary. Based on the information you provided, it does sound like the timer WP206686 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
