Ned F Arlington , VA July 10, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A9400S This was a snap It was not difficult to diagnose the problem with the washing machine at my Mom's house: the timer knob was broke and just free-spinning. Watched the You-Tube video, ordered the part - rather pricey at $147 plus shipping, but I checked around...and it is what it is - and the actual repair was extremely simple. Unscrew and lift the control cover, take out the old timer, reconnect the colored wires to the new one (monkey see monkey do), and now the old Maytag's good for another 20 years! I am a self-employed electrician, and enjoy working with my hands. But I have simply never bothered with appliance repair before. Just always figured, heck, that thing is old. Take it to the curb and upgrade to a new one. Now I'm thinking, hmm...I'll repair that washer at my house - which I was about to replace for $500 on "4th of July Sale" at HD - and maybe add appliance repair to my list of services offered. Seriously. PS: I next repaired my old Whirlpool, and posted about it separately.
