Sam January 12, 2015 for Model Number MAV8557AWW Washer will spin fine until it gets to the rinse cycle then it will not spin. Could that be a timer issue?
1 Answer Hello Sam. If it just will not spin in that one cycle, yes, you will need to replace the timer. Read More...
Bob K October 18, 2014 for Model Number MAV8551AWQ The washer timer spins out the wash mode but it quits advancing at the rinse spin on both the delicate and normal settings. However, if you advance it by hand it will spin out and advance to shut off. Does this sound like a timer problem or something different? Thank you.
1 Answer Bob, The key thing to know is does it fill when it gets to the rinse cycle. If the unit fills but then stop then it would most likely be a timer issue. If the unit spins after wash but does not fill at the start of the rinse then you will want to check the pressure hose to make sure that it is not clogged and check the cold water supply and inlet valve to ensure that they are working and that the valve screen is not clogged.

Don March 18, 2014 for Model Number MAV8551AWW I purchased a timer from you about 6 or 8 months ago. When my washer cycles to the spin mode, on the delicate setting it does spin, but it agitates. However, it will spin slightly in the normal wash mode. Does this indicate that the timer is bad and that I need a new one?
1 Answer Hello Don. That does not sound like a timer issue. It sounds like the thrust bearing kit 12002213 may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. You will need to check the thrust bearing and see if it is worn and needs to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Carmella. Remove the center cap off the timer knob and then the kob will pull off the timer shaft. You can use a flat blade to pry out the center cap. Read More...
Charles April 05, 2012 for Model Number Model:mav8551aww Serial no:16264458ax Machine is filling up with water, but not washing the clothing. Is it the timer?
1 Answer Hello Charles. You will need to check and see if the lid switch WP22003804 is bad on the unit. If so, it will prevent the washer from washing and spinning out the water. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Michael April 29, 2011 for Model Number MAV8551AWW The wash machine won't enter the spin/drain cycle on its own. It will drain & spin if the switch is repeatedly pushed/pulled until it will eventually engage & proceed with the cycle. Since playing with the switch gets the machine to run, would replacing the switch (I believe it's the timer switch) get the machine running properly?
1 Answer Hello Michael. It sounds like you have found the problem. If the machine will start to spin by working with the timer WP22004380, then the timer is probably bad, and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
