Marcus April 29, 2015 for Model Number LAT8415AAE My Maytag washer (Model LAT8415AAE) stops at different places in all of the cycles, but if I put sideways pressure on the main nob and hold it, it usually starts up again and will run for awhile before it stops again. I assume that I need to replace the timer and that it has finally just worn out, but I just wanted some verification that it is most likely the timer and I'm not getting into a repair job that's over my head. The two reviews that I read said that it's an easy replacement and that it should take about 15 minutes. I'm pretty handy, but have never worked on my washing machine before. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Marcus, The timer is going to be the issue. Changing it will not be a tough task if you have the proper tools, dis-continue power to the unit before beginning, and remove one wire from the old timer and install it on the new timer in the same location, remove the next wire and connect it properly to the new timer and so on until all wires are changed over. If you remove all of the wires, you will need to pull the wiring diagram and trace the wiring to reconnect. Read More...
Richard December 03, 2013 for Model Number LAT9635AAF My washer fills with water but does not agitate. Can make it spin and remove the water. Lid check switch was bad and assembly was replaced. Still have problem. Found contacts in the motor neutral circuit burned and open - circuit node #16 to node #32. Adjusted burnt contact to make and washer works. Before I replace the timer I want to ask there could be some other problem to cause the contact burning.
1 Answer Hello Richard. No, it sounds like the timer needs to be replaced on the unit. Could have shorted when the lid switch went bad in the unit. Read More...
Kai June 09, 2013 for Model Number LAT8704AAM Hi, My washer fills fine, but I have to pull out hard on knob to get it to agitate. It runs fine on delicate and permanent press so I'm assuming, like Sean, I need a new timer. How difficult is this to replace? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Kai. The timer is not hard to replace. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the timer WP22001638. Read More...
Sunny February 07, 2013 for Model Number LAT8414AAE Machine stop working, there is power to the timer, the lid switch and , fill valves. No power from the timer to the motor we rotated the knob at different points and there was no reaction and no noise of any kind. sunny
1 Answer Hello Sunny, You will want to check the continuity of the lid switch. The lid switch could have power coming to it but if the power does not pass through then the unit will not start. Also if no water coming into unit then check the fill valve screens for clogs and check to make sure that the pressure switch is good and that the pressure hose and air dome are not clogged.

Nick November 23, 2012 for Model Number Maytag LAT9635AAE Hello, it appears that my timer needs to be replaced on my machine. It works in delicate but not the other cycles. The machine will fill with water on the other cycles, put it wont agitate or spin the water out. On delicate, works just fine. I found the timer I need, but most of the videos I have seen on how to take the knob off look a bit different than the model I have. How does the knob come off for this model? I will be ordering that part asap!
1 Answer Hello Nick, To remove the knob on the timer yu will pry the cap in the middle of timer off and pull the retainer clip off the timer shaft. Then you remove the timer knob spring and dial. Read More...
Mike October 17, 2012 I have a Maytag LAT8415AAE that works at different parts of different cycles. In "Regular" mode it will fill, but not agitate. Timer keeps advancing, then it spins and drains at last spin cycle. In "perm press" it filled, did nothing for first part, then spun and drained, then filled, and agitated during cool down rinse, then didn't spin and drain, moved to final rinse, no fill b/c it didn't drain, was already full of water, agitated then spun & drained until OFF. On "delicates"; filled and started to agitate, then stopped, didn't spin and drain, then agitated a little later, then spun and drained until off. I checked lid switch and water fill switch both OHM without washer plugged in then with voltage to ground. Also checked motor terminals. All seemed fine.
1 Answer Hi. The timer motor windings are shorted keeeping the advancing of the timer part # WP22001638. Thank You. Read More...
Wynton O. July 13, 2012 for Model Number LAT8414AAE The lid switch checked ok.Still will not spin or agitate
1 Answer Hello Wynton. If the lid switch is good, and is working properly when the lid is closed, you will need to test for power coming to the motor assembly. If there is power there, and the motor does not run, you will need to replace the motor assembly on the unit. Read More...
Wynton O. July 13, 2012 for Model Number LAT8414AAE Will not agitate, spin. Will fill but not empty.Failed with no prewarning. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Wynton. You need to check and make sure the lid switch assembly WP22001682 is not bad on the unit. If so, it will cause the issues you are having with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Sean April 03, 2011 for Model Number lat8415aae On normal wash cycle, won't agitate, will fill, and spin. Seems to function ok on perma press and delicate cycle. I think i need a new timer??
1 Answer Hello Sean. Yes, it sounds like the timer is the problem with your unit. If it works on the other cycles, but not on normal, then the timer is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
