Wayne March 05, 2012 for Model Number LAT9704AAM My washer never stops agitation to drain or spin unless I turn off the motor by opening the lid or pushing the knob in. Closing the lid or pulling the knob back out restarts the motor and the drain/spin starts when the timer is in the spin position. Also, the two speed motor will only run for about 15 to 30 seconds in the delicates cycle it will restart after about 3 to 5 minutes and repeat. I think this is due to the motor overload protector cutting the power to the motor. I found the Cam 6 contact (Motor - Regular Speed) contact stuck closed using a multi-meter and the cam follower bent upwards. I have ordered a replacement timer, but is there anything other than old age that may have caused this contact to weld closed?
1 Answer Hello Wayne. Based on the information you provided, the motor 12002353 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Sali September 14, 2011 for Model Number LAT8714AAE Our washer is a maytag LAT8714AAE. I noticed it fills with water but doesnt work on any cycle except the delicate. What is wrong with this? Is it the timer? Help please
1 Answer Hello Sali. Test and see if there is power going to the motor on any of the other cycles. If not, the timer WP22001252 is bad and will need to be replaced. 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...
Ed July 11, 2011 for Model Number LAT8614AAE The machine was filling with water and I pushed in the button to stop it. When I pulled it out to resume filling, nothing happened. The indicator light does not work in any of the cycle modes except superwash but still the machine will not run in that cycle either. Does this sound like a timer problem or valve problem?
1 Answer Hello Ed. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch WP22001682 may be bad. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the screws on top of the control panel to access the lid switch. Test the fuse in the lid switch and see if it is bad. If so, replace the lid switch assembly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Robert G. June 29, 2011 for Model Number lat8614aae I received a replacement timer that has only one socket on the left. The original timer on the washer has a socket on the left that a plug plugs into and a socket on the right that a plug plugs into. What do I do with the plug on the right that has no socket to plug into on the new timer?
1 Answer Hello Robert. According to the part pictures, WP22001252 should have 2 cam sets for 2 connectors. You will need to check and make sure the correct part has been sent to you. If you need to contact customer service, here is a link to help you. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/contact.aspx Read More...

Frank March 30, 2011 for Model Number lat5914aae My washer will not fill with water no matter what size load or what water setting I select. The spin function works and when I fill with water it drainds. Is the problem my timer or my pressure switch . Thanks for your help, Frank.
1 Answer Hello Frank! If the washer is completing the cycles when water is put in the tub and it is just not filling with water, you will need to replace the water valve WP22001274. Make sure that the inlet hoses and screens are not clogged. Hope this helps! Read More...
