Maytag Washer A22CA Won't start or doesn't start

The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

The Washer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines, designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion to drive the washing machine drum.

Causes of a bad Washer Drive Motor can range from wear and tear over time, overheating due to overloading or obstructed movement, and electrical failures such as short circuits or damaged wiring.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Drive Motor include:

• The washer not agitating or spinning correctly
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• The washing machine failing to start

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
