Brand: Maytag

I have a MAYTAG A512 and the machine fills up with water but does not start spinning afterwards and the switch continues to turn on all cycles but the machine does not spin to wash or rise clothes what could be wrong with my washier?

My Maytag refridgerator quit making ice. It is a French door freezer on bottom style. The water dispensor still works. Thanks to your videos I was able to take out the icemaker and found that there were some ice cubes in it. However they were small and some were almost non existent. I didn’t see any ice jams or froze up lines. We have had the fridge for a little over a year and had no problems. It did this last weekend and messed with it and got it going. But this fix lasted about 3 days. What should i look for next?
Thanks,
Wade

Hello

The washer will fill with water just fine but when it starts to wash sometimes it wont start the cycle and then sometimes it will quit in the cycle and it will start a buzzing noise.This will happen in the spin and drain cycles also. Some times you can unplug it from the wall and it will start back up. And sometimes I can tilt the whole machine and it will start back up.
This washer is maybe 5 years old and ever since it was new it would get off balance easily and you will have to rearrange the load. Our old one was over 35 years old Maytag and we never experience problems like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Cliff

NOTE: I placed two black lines on my tub and agitator to observe individual movement.

Initial observations of the Problem:

My top load washer “roared” in either the rinse/spin and completed the complete cycle. (I should have paid better attention to detail.) In the 2nd rinse the washer stopped with water in the tub. I noticed a burning smell and the motor went into thermal shutdown. As I removed the V-belt I noticed much black rubber from the belt( V-belt track was cut). The water pump pulley spun with great difficulty. When I tested the transmission via spinning the transmission pulley counter clockwise (CCW) the tub spun CCW. When I spun the transmission pulley clockwise (CW) the agitator moved CW, however I don’t know it is agitating since I’m doing this task myself.

I believe the water pump pulley bearing cause a lockup such that the V-belt burned rubber. The electric motor recovered from thermal shutdown and turned on after allowing it to cool and with the V-belt removed.

Questions:

1) If the transmission pulley is spun CW what should be seen? Should the agitator spin around the 360 degrees? Would the agitator spin “X” degrees and then restart?

2) Could there be something else wrong with the agitator if it spins and doesn’t agitate?

3) What is the best way to check thrust bearing when the pulley is all black and I don’t see the “markers” the new translucent transmission pulleys contain?

4) Is it possible to just replace the water pump bearing?

Summary:

I know the belt and water pump need fixing or replacing. Questions #1and #2 are the most important since if the transmission is smoked there is a big cost. If you can provide answers to the all questions great?

Thanks in advance,

I changed the duck bill drain per you video (it was stopped up) and installed the new pea trap drain with no problem yesterday. I didn’t have time to get the ice out of the bottom till today..just finished doing that..I still had water on the floor this afternoon. Could it be because I didn’t get the ice out till today or am I frozen somewhere else?? I can see a frozen trickle of ice in the back right corner of the freezer. Thought about using a hairdryer in that area but I’m not sure if I should.

We watched a few of your videos and have done all of this:
replaced water filter
water comes out of fridge just fine
no ice or water in ice cube trays
bar is not stuck
ice is not stuck in the blue catch bin preventing new ice from being made
water pressure is low where we live, but enough to run fridge
fridge temperature is at 36 which is cool enough, I think you said 38 or cooler
it was literally working perfect 1 day ago, and now just nothing

there is nowhere to run the jumper wire to run the simulation on the ice maker like he talks about in one of the diagnostic videos

We bought this fridge because it was “made in america” and have already had a couple problems with it! Of course now we are out of the warranty! My husband is very handy, so we will order the part from you if we can diagnose it. It just seems like there is no water getting to the tray and none of your videos address this problem, they all talk about there being ice but not ejecting.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We are very thankful for your help so far!

just got this dishwasher new and door will not open

My washer flashes the FH error code and It also has a little water leaking out of the front door. I’m not sure what I need, to fix this. I’ve found a lot of videos stating it’s different things.

Good morning. I saw your video on how to release the drain catch on a Maytag front load washer, but my model does not have a separate front panel. Its one complete front door panel so I’m wondering how I can go about resolving this error. Please note that the door is also closed and I have been unable to open. Thanks.

I have a Maytag Fridge.
There is Ice Buildup in the bottom of the freezer

Model # MFX2570AEM0

What kind of part do i need for it and how much does it cost.

Thanks

Machine is 27 years old but has run fine until now. I’ve replaced the coils and checked for continuity on high end thermostat and the cycling thermostat. Blower is working fine and we do not have a vent obstruction. Dryer starts normally, igniter heats up and flame runs about 8 seconds. Igniter cycles intermitantly but with the same short burn time. Timer does not advance in dry cycles but does work in “less dry” period at the end of a cycle. I’m thinking the burner shutting off prematurely is causing the timer not to advance, but I’m at a loss as to why that is.

Hi, I watched your video on the clogged washer and got as far as taking the dasher out but we can’t get the tub to come out. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello, I pulled the cover off my igniter on my gas dryer, and the flame will ignite for about 5-10 minutes and then goes out.

I am getting water to the door of my refrigerator, but not to the ice maker.
