I need to Troubleshoot my Maytag washers Timer to make sure that is the problem before I replace it.
Anyone know of a good site for the DIY repair. Last edited by SteveStromberg; 02-04-2005 at 08:32 AM.. |

Try these:
. http://forum.doityourself.com/ . http://www.handymanwire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php . http://groups.msn.com/Appliantology/messages.msnw . Good luck. . ps My Kenmore washer/dryer set was purchased by my home's previous owner in Aug. '58. Both are still rockin' 'n rollin'. I machined a (NLA) bearing a few years ago for the dryer drum shaft. Entertaining for me to see how long these rigs will last. .

I fixed a couple of dryers / washers in the past. I was really surprised at how willing the local parts supply people were to help troubleshoot my problem.
Just another angle to consider.

Most washers and dryers (excepting the multiple finger timer nightmares) are fairly straightforward; not much to go wrong. Most repair shops have the factory manuals and most of them contain a troubleshooting section. Ifyou buy your parts from them, they ae generally willing to let you see the manual.

How old is the washer, and what model is it, if its a neptune model, it has a printed circuit board, that in the second generation models tend to fail, What kind of problem is it giving you??
