SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
WASHER PRE-IIMSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Proper installation is the responsi
bility of the purchaser.
Checkpoints for proper installation:
Properly grounded electrical outlet is required. Use 15 amp fuse or compa rable circuit breaker for electrical service.
Standpipe Drain System must be able to accept IVa" O.D. drain hose. In cases where an air tight connection is re quired, an anti-siphoning valve, part number 12001586, should be placed in the drain hose to prevent siphoning from the washer or facility during agitation. Standpipe height of 36" is recommended.
NOTE: if drain standpipe is in excess of 5 feet above floor level, install pump accessory kit, part number 12001587.
Do not store or operate washer in tem peratures below freezing. This can cause damage to the pump, hoses and other components. (See page 1-5 for long term
storage.)
Water pressure of 20 -120 RS.I. is required to fill the washer in the appropriate time
frame. Pressures of less than 20 RS.I. may
cause an extended or exceptionally long
fill time. Refer to the troubleshooting sec
tion for more information regarding a so
lution for slow fill situations.
Best performance is obtained with the washer installed on a solid floor. Wood floor constructions may need to be rein forced to minimize vibration from unbal anced load situations. Carpets and soft tile surfaces are also contributing factors
in vibration and/or movement during the
spin cycle. Never install washer on plat form or weak support structure.
W
These units are not equipped with a siphon break, and the drain hose must
be elevated to a minimum height of 36".
For installations with short standpipes, the drain hose must be supported by clipping the drain hose into the clip on the back of the washer. Then a coupler
and additional hose length is added to the existing drain hose.
Hot and Cold water faucets should be within four (4) feet of the back of the
washer. This allows for quick access for immediate shut off of the water.
Water heater should be set to deliver a
minimum of 120° (49°C) hot water to
the washer.
16009485-01

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

1. Provide an individual 120 volt, 60 HZ, branch circuit with ground for the washer.
This circuit must be rated for 15 amperes
or more.
2. Protect the washer's electrical circuit with a 15 ampere time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
3. Install in accordance with National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances.
Section 1. General Information
1-1
Page 10

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by provid ing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
The washer is equipped with a power supply cord which has a grounding conductor and three-prong grounding plug. For proper
grounding, the three-prong grounding plug
must be plugged into an appropriate three-
prong grounded receptacle or outlet (see the following figure). The receptacle must be
properly installed and grounded in accor
dance with the National Electrical Code and
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
grounding conductor or the three-prong grounding plug of the power supply cord may result in an electrical shock hazard. If there is any doubt as to whether the washer is prop
erly grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE WASHER - If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
WARNING: For your safety and to protect the test equipment, be sure that the wall out let is properly polar ized and grounded.

UNCRATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: The following steps must be per
formed in the correct order to ease uncrating.
1. Remove the carton by cutting only marked areas of the carton. CAUTION: Hoses are
connected to the washer.
2. Lift the carton and top cap assembly up and clear of the washer. Carefully remove any packaging materials from the outside of the washer.
16009485-01

NOTE: Retain the corner posts for later use.
3. Remove tape and raise the washer lid; re move the items shipped in the spin bas ket. Save the literature for future refer ence. Close lid and tape.
4. Position three (3) corner posts on the floor near the rear base of the washer. Place the remaining corner post on the floor approximately two feet away. Carefully lay the washer on its back, on top of the corner posts.
Section 1. General Information

Page 11
DO NOT LOWER OR RAISE THE WASHER BY THE CONTROL PANEL
5. Remove the crate bottom from the washer. Pop the plastic loose from the screw lo cated between the back feet, or remove the screw entirely with a screwdriver
(Figure
1-2). Pull the plastic base away from the
back feet. Grasping the plastic base on the sides, pull down and toward you to release
the front feet from the slots and remove the base. Discard the base (it can be re cycled). RETURN THE WASHER TO THE
UPRIGHT POSITION.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the washer as close to its final oper ating location as possible.
2. Make sure rear feet move up and down freely.
3. Place washer in final location.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

NOTE: Proper installation is the respon
sibility of the purchaser.
Service calls performed as a result of im
proper setup, adjustment and connection are the responsibility of the installer.
4.
When the machine is in place, screw front feet out of base against the floor until the
machine is level across the top front of
the washer.
5.
While holding foot still, turn the adjust
ing locknut clockwise until the nut is tight
ened firmly against base (Figure 1-3).
6.
Tilt machine forward until rear of cabi
net is approximately 4 inches off the floor. Lower the machine back to the floor on
the rear feet. This operation causes the
rear stabilizing feet to conform to the con
tour of the floor and seat them solidly.
Push washer with hands on opposite corners to check stability (Figure 1-4).

SECTION 2. OUTLINE OF MECHANICAL OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE: The rotation directions, stated in this outiine, view the component from its oui­iev end.
The washer utilizes a reversible type motor which turns clockwise during the agitate
cycle and counterclockwise during the spin cycle.
A single belt is used to transmit power from the motor pulley to the drive and pump pul
leys.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

The transmission drive pulley, which drives the transmission drive shaft and hub assembly,
and the pump pulley which drives the pump impeller, are in operation whenever the mo
tor is running. The transmission assembly converts the
power from the motor to either drive the agi
tator or spin the basket. The direction the
clutch assembly rotates determines which action takes place.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

The clutch assembly (Figure 2-1) consists of the drive shaft and hub assembly, clutch
spring, and input pinion with gear lock assem bly. The gear lock mechanism is part of the input pinion. The drive shaft serves only as a bearing surface for the drive pinion to revolve on. No direct drive is imparted from the shaft directly to the pinion. The inside diameter of the clutch spring is designed so that when the
drive shaft is driven in a clockwise direction.
16009485-01

the clutch spring tightens on the two hubs and becomes a positive link between them. When the drive shaft hub runs counterclockwise, the clutch spring relaxes in an override situation. While in override, or relaxed position, the
clutch spring still maintains a drive link be tween the two hubs. The override tension, or torque, is used to drive the spin basket. The
gear lock mechanism consists of two "wings" that project out from the input pinion.

When the drive pinion rotates in a clockwise direction, the gear lock mechanism exerts no force on the input pinion. When the input pin ion starts to revolve counterclockwise the "wings" drop into dents in the lower housing
preventing the pinion from turning.
DRIVE PULLEY AND CAMS
OPERATION: AGITATION
When the drive pulley rotates CLOCKWISE, the upper and lower cams are designed to nest together which allows the drive pulley to re
main in position on the drive shaft. The brake
remains engaged and the drive pulley will turn the lower cam and drive the shaft to cause the transmission to agitate.
The drive pulley and cam is located below the brake assembly on the drive shaft
(Figure 2-2).
All models are equipped with a plastic drive
pulley which has the upper cam molded
onto the bottom of the hub. The purpose of the pulley and cam arrangement is to drive the clutch assembly during the agitate and
spin cycle, and to disengage the brake
assembly during the spin cycle.
The drive pulley slips over the drive shaft and
rests against a series of washers, a thrust
bearing, and a large washer type spacer. The
spacer locates against the bottom of the
brake rotor and lining assembly (See the
illustration on page 7-6).
The lower cam slips over the end of the drive
shaft where splines formed in the cam en
gage with mating splines on the drive shaft
end. This imparts a direct drive from the cam
to the drive shaft.
A shoulder molded on the bottom of the
pulley hub engages “dogs" formed on the sides of the lower cam, and will drive it and
the drive shaft in either direction.
The agitation is due to the clockwise (agitate)
rotation of the drive shaft and the hub assem
bly as it is transmitted to the input pinion by the clutch spring. The input pinion meshes with the dual cluster gears which, in turn mesh with the dual crank gears (Figure 2-3). The
circular motion of the dual crank gears are con verted to the oscillating action of the agitator
shaft by the dual rack gears. The rack gears
have a stud that drops into the crank gears.
These rack gears are contained by a rack car
rier. Any tendency of the transmission to turn, or "creep," is prevented by the engaged brake assembly located on the under side of the suspension housing.
OPERATION: SPIN
When the drive pulley rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE, the upper cam and pulley ride
up the lower cam approximately 3/16 of an
inch before the driving shoulders on the pul
ley hub engage the "dogs" on the lower cam. This causes the top of the pulley hub to push
against the spacer which compresses the
brake spring and lifts the brake rotor and lin
ing assembly off the brake stator. The brake
is disengaged and the pulley will turn the lower
cam and drive shaft to cause the transmission to spin.
A washer and retaining ring secure the pul
ley and cam on the drive shaft. A plastic dust cap snaps to the underside of the pulley to keep the cam surfaces clean.
16009485-01
©1999 Maytag Appliances Sales Company
A nylon cam, along with a special drive pul
ley, provides a cam action which raises the drive pulley during the counterclockwise (spin) rotation of the motor (Figure 2-2). As
the drive pulley hub moves up, it compresses
a brake spring and lifts the brake rotor and lining assembly, disengaging it from the sta
tor. The transmission is now free to spin.
Section 2. Operation
2-3
Page 24
The counterclockwise rotation of the drive
shaft and hub assembly causes the clutch spring to relax into an override position. The clutch spring still exerts a driving force to the input pinion even when it is in the override position. As this driving force of torque starts
to turn the input pinion in a counterclockwise
direction, it causes the "wings" of the gear lock mechanism to drop into dents on the lower housing. This prevents the input pinion from
revolving in the counterclockwise direction.
Therefore, the torque being delivered by the
clutch spring is exerted against the transmis sion housing, causing the entire assembly to rotate. The washer basket is mounted to the basket drive hub which is secured to the trans mission cover assembly, and revolves as part of the transmission. In this direction, the pump assembly will drain the water out of the unit.

STABILIZER ASSEMBLY
The stabilizer assembly consists of the
stabilizer bar assembly, two (2) stabilizer brackets, two (2) self stabilizing feet, and
two (2) foot pins. It is mounted on the top
rear of the base assembly.
The stabilizer assembly allows the base
assembly to rest solidly and firmly against
the floor, even if the floor is unlevel. The
solidity of the base to the floor keeps the washer from rocking back and forth or “walking" during operation.
As the name implies, the stabilizer only stabilizes the unit; it does not level it. Any
leveling that is required must be done
with the front adjusting (leveling) legs.
In rare cases where the floor is so uneven
that it is beyond the stabilizing limit of the
assembly (+ or - 5/8"), It may be neces sary to remove the stabilizer assembly
and install two (2) rear adjustable feet.
Two (2) threaded holes have been pro
vided in the rear corners of the base for
this situation. A kit, part number
12001577 is available.

WATER INLET FLUME

HOSES
The molded plastic water inlet flume consists
of an upper and lower section that has been snap-locked together.
The flume is located on the rear underside of the washer top assembly. The flume fits flush with the top opening and is secured to the top
by one mounting screw, accessed through the control console. An inlet hose from the wa ter mixing valve connects to the flume nozzle.
Water Supply Inlet Hoses
Two (2) water inlet hoses attach from hot and
cold water supply lines to their respective nozzles on the water mixing valve. They are secured at both ends with threaded couplings.
Flume Inlet Hose
The flume inlet hose attaches the water mix
ing valve to the water inlet flume. It is secured at both ends with spring type hose clamps.
Pressure Switch Hose
The pressure switch hose is made of soft plas
tic tubing and fits snugly over the water level switch nipple at one end, and the air bell nipple at the other. A clamp on the inner cabinet rear positions the hose, and a pad prevents the
hose from contacting the back of the cabinet
during operation. The hose is installed with
its ends seated against the switch and air bell bodies, and is secured at the tub ends with a
spring type hose clamp.

AIR BELL

A polypropylene air bell and nipple assembly have been thermally welded to the lower, outer tub, rear. One end of the pressure switch hose connects to the air bell nipple and the other end is attached to the water level switch.
As the water level rises in the tub, it com
presses the air in the air bell and the attached hose. The compressed air inside the hose will
activate the pneumatically operated water
level switch when the selected water level has been reached. When the air pressure is low ered during the drain cycle, the switch will reset.
N OTE ; When reinstalling the pressure switch
hose, make sure the system is free of air leaks and water in the hose or an overflow condi tion will occur.
Tub to Pump Hose
The tub to pump hose attaches from the drain
outlet on the tub to the pump inlet. It is se cured at each end with a spring-type hose clamp.
Drain Hose
The drain hose attaches the pump outlet to the drain standpipe. It is secured to the pump
with a spring-type hose clamp.

TUB TOP

The tub top is constructed of molded polypro
pylene. It is secured to the tub by eight (8)
tabs which have been formed around its up
per edge. These tabs snap over mating tab locks which are molded around the upper sides of the tub.
Overflow
Area
It is necessary to remove the tub top before
removing the inner tub. To remove the tub top, push down on it while disengaging the tabs from the tab locks on the tub.
Figure 5-3
Designed into the tub top is a drain groove, an overflow area, and a bleach dispenser. In case water should splash out of the basket during machine operation, the drain groove directs the water back into the tub. The over-
fiow area is located at the tub top rear and
will direct any overflow water away from the
drive motor. The bleach dispenser is func
tional only when used in conjunction with the
proper cabinet top assembly which is avail able on designated models.
A foam seal has been installed in a groove on
the underside of the tub top. The seal pro
vides a water seal between the tub and the tub top.
NOTE: When reinstalling the tub top, please
observe the following:
1. Make sure the foam seal is in place on the underside of the tub top.
2. Align the tab (Position 7:30- looking down on the tub top) having the larger opening
with its mating tab lock on the tub, and
lock it down around the tub. This seals
the top.

AGITATOR

The agitator is composed of an auger and a
base. The base is a four-vane design molded from a polypropylene compound. It is tough flexible material, highly resistant to breakage. The agitator is mounted on the splined shaft
and secured with the agitator retaining screw
and washer. A fabric softener dispenser snaps
over the top of the agitator (Figure 5-5).

TUB BRACES

The underside of the suspension housing pro
vides mounting for the snubber pad and also houses the brake assembly (Figure 2-2).
The bottom of the housing has been formed
into a spherical configuration and, along with the snubber, rides on the domed area of the base which allows the housing to move freely in all directions.
The top of the suspension housing is attached to the lower bearing assembly with three mounting screws. These screws thread from the underside of the suspension housing dome
into the die-cast bearing housing.
Suspension
The tub braces are attached at the top to the tub support, and to the suspension housing
at the bottom. The tub braces are located
behind iic\e tub support and suspension hous
ing where large, thread forming screws are
driven directly into the braces to secure them.
NOTE: Should a tub brace mounting screw
hole become stripped, a nut can be installed
on the thread forming screw.
The extended end of the suspension spring fits through an extruded hole in the tub brace just below the mounting screws.

SUSPENSION SPRINGS

The suspension springs hold the entire wash
unit in firm contact with the base. To reduce wear and prevent squeaks; grease has been applied to the friction points of the springs.

TUB SEAL

TUB SEAL REPLACEMENT

The tub seal consists of the seal face and seal
body.
NOTE: All parts of the sea! must be replaced if either of the sealing surfaces is damaged.
The seal face fits into a recess in the under
side of the basket hub assembly. Also, the seal body installs in the cavity on the top side of
the bearing and seal housing. The spin bear
ing is located in a cavity on the underside of
the bearing and seal housing.
Each of the two sealing parts, the seal face and the seal body, have sealing faces which are brought into contact with one another
when the basket hub assembly is threaded
down on the drive tube. The springs in the seal body exert pressure to keep the sealing
faces in contact.
The tub seal fits into a recess on top of the
upper bearing and seal assembly.
Should the tub seal begin to leak or develop
excess seal drag, it must be replaced. The service replacement seal includes all the parts necessary to replace the entire seal. Be sure
to replace all parts of the seal even if only one
part is found to be damaged.
NOTE: If the tub sea! is being replaced be
cause it has begun to leak, the spin bearing is
probably damaged as well and should be re placed. To replace the spin bearing, the bear
ing and sea! housing must be removed as pre
viously described. This also allows access to
the tub seal for removal and replacement (re fer to steps 2 and 3 below when installing).
Removal and replacement of the tub seal can ONLY be accomplished as follows:
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the bearing and seal housing removal as previously described. The parts of the seal can now
be removed from their mounting recesses.
The carbon ring of the tub seal mates with the teflon ring underneath the spin basket hub.
Seal Face
Seal Body
Figure 7-3
2. Before installing the new seal, make sure both seal mating surfaces are free of for eign matter, then clean both surfaces with
an alcohol saturated cloth.
NOTE: Make sure no grease comes in con
tact with the mating surfaces of the seal.
NOTE: Do not use any agent other than al
cohol to dean the mating surface. Do not use any lubricant other than water.

UPPER SPIN BEARING The spin bearing is installed in a cavity on
the underside of the bearing and seal housing and is further secured in place by
the inner diameter of the tub support.
SPIN BEARING REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove the upper bearing and seal hous ing and the tub support as previously de scribed.
3. Remove the seal body from the housing cavity.
4. Press the spin bearing out of the cavity
from the opposite side of the housing.
5. When installing the replacement bearing into the housing cavity, be sure to press against the outer race of the bearing to avoid damage to the bearing shield and causing premature failure.

DRIVE PULLEY AND CAMS

The drive pulley and cam is located below the brake assembly on the drive shaft.
Models are equipped with a plastic drive pulley which has the upper cam molded onto the bottom of the hub. The purpose of the pulley and cam arrangement is to drive the clutch assembly during the agitate and spin cycle, and to disengage the brake as sembly during the spin cycle.
The drive pulley slips over the drive shaft and
rests against a series of washers, a thrust
bearing, and a large washer type spacer. The spacer locates against the bottom of the brake rotor and lining assembly.
(See the
illustration on page 7-6.)
The lower cam slips over the end of the drive
shaft where splines formed in the cam en gage with mating splines on the drive shaft end. This imparts a direct drive from the cam
to the drive shaft. A shoulder molded on the
bottom of the pulley hub engages "dogs" formed on the sides of the lower cam, and will drive it and the drive shaft in either di
rection.
A washer and retaining ring secure the pul
ley and cam on the drive shaft. A plastic dust cap snaps to the underside of the pulley to keep the cam surfaces clean.
OPERATION
When the drive pulley rotates CLOCKWISE,
the upper and lower cams are designed to
nest together which allows the drive pulley to remain in position on the drive shaft. The break remains engaged and the drive pulley
will turn the lower cam and drive the shaft
to cause the transmission to agitate.
When the drive pulley rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE, the upper cam and pulley ride up the lower cam approximately 3/16 of an inch before the driving shoulders on the pul ley hub engage the "dogs" on the lower cam.
This causes the top of the pulley hub to push against the spacer which compresses the
brake spring and lifts the brake rotor and lin ing assembly off the brake stator. The brake is disengaged and the pulley will turn the lower cam and drive shaft to cause the trans mission to spin.

3. Remove the dust cap from the under side of pulley.
4. Remove retaining ring and washer from
end of drive shaft.
5. Firmly pull lower cam off the drive shaft splines, then slide the other parts off the shaft. This will also allow access to the
brake assembly for removal.
REPLACEMENT
After reassembling the components on the
drive shaft, it will probably be necessary to pull down on the shaft to take the end play out of it before the thrust washer and retaining ring can be reinstalled.
Counting the reference marks on the lower cam from right to left, the pulley hub shoul der should be positioned between refer ence marks 9 and 4 with 6 being the median (Figure 7-5).
NOTE: Each time the cams are reassembled on the drive shaft, the point in the cam rise where the brake disengages the stator should be checked and adjusted as necessary.
Reference marks have been molded around
the bottom outer edge of the lower cam as an
aid in checking the point of brake disengage ment (Figure 7-5). Each mark, from right to left, represents approximately .010 of an inch cam rise.
To Check Brake Disengagement:
1. Manually rotate the drive pulley in a slow counterclockwise direction until the brake starts to release and the transmission be gins to turn (Figure 7-5).
If the position of the pulley hub shoulder /s
not within these parameters and the brake has
started disengaging, adjustment is required.
To Adjust Brake Disengagement:
1. If the position of the pulley hub shoulder is less than 4 reference marks, remove the
standard (.062 thickness) thrust washer and replace it with a thinner (.032 thick ness) thrust washer (part number 35-2132). Recheck disengagement.
2. If the position of the pulley hub shoulder
is more than 9 reference marks, add a 35-2132 thrust washer (.032) to the standard thrust washer and recheck
disengagement.

BRAKE AND SNUBBER ASSEMBLY

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: This is a dry operating brake
assembly.
The brake assembly is located inside the
domed area of the suspension housing and consists of the following components: brake spring retainer, brake spring, rotor and lining assembly and the brake stator.
The brake assembly, as well as the snubber, is
held In position by the brake stator which is secured to the underside of the suspension housing by six mounting screws.
Spring pressure forces the rotor and lining assembly down on the brake stator and pre
vents the transmission from turning during
agitation.
As stated previously, the drive pulley and
cams provide a cam action which raises the drive pulley during the counterclockwise (spin) direction of the motor. When the drive pulley hub travels upward, it compresses the brake spring and moves the rotor and lining assembly up the drive tube disengaging it from
the stator. The transmission is now free to
spin.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove the drive pulley and cam compo nents as previously described.
3. Using brake removal tool number LA-2004, proceed as follows:
Pull out and remove "U" retainer from tool.
Slip the splined end of the drive shaft
into hole located in the tool inner plunger.
Looking at the side of the tool, align
slots on tool barrel and holes in tool plunger between splines and cham
fered shoulder of shaft.
Slip "U" retainer through tool slots and
holes capturing the drive shaft behind
the chamfered shoulder.
NO TE: Be sure the ”LT retainer is com
pletely through both sides of tool.
Tighten tool nut to compress brake
spring until transmission turns freely.
Splines in the brake rotor hub mesh with splines on the drive tube end to provide posi
tive vertical movement for the rotor and lin
ing assembly. The splines are greased for ease of movement.
^ CAUTION
The brake assembly has a compressive spring force of approximately 200pounds. See the following instructions for disassembly.

DIAGNOSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS

V-
Listed below are most of the service com plaints which would normally be caused by a malfunctioning component of the transmis sion assembly.

Oil Leaks

Oil leaks can be caused by faulty seals, gas kets, or a loose fitting stud.

Slow Spin Speed

Slow spin speed can be caused by a binding tub seal and/or bearing, brake rotor assembly not disengaging properly, a slipping clutch spring, or an off balance load. The test that follows can be used to isolate the problem.
The torque available to drive the spin basket
is determined by the amount of drag or resis
tance presented by the tub seal and spin bear
ing, deducted from the input torque imparted
to the transmission housing assembly by the
clutch assembly.
The Following Torque Tests Will Allow a Prob
lem in the Spin Drive Train to be Pinpointed:
NOTE: Before starting these tests, the
washer should be operated in the agitation cycle with hot water for about two (2) min utes, and then for two (2) minutes in a spin cycle. This warms up the transmission oil and the spin drive train components.

Available Torque

TORQUE TESTING

A quick test of the efficiency of the spin op eration components can be made by placing a 3 1/2 pound weight, such as a bag of sand, in the washer basket and starting the machine in the spin cycle. If the basket appears to reach full spin with the weight, the machine com
ponents are performing as intended. If the basket does not attain full spin speed, the
torque test procedures as outlined in the fol
lowing paragraphs should be performed to determine the problem.
16009485-01
©1999 Maytag Appliances Sales Company
Place a 1/2 inch socket and torque wrench on
the agitator retaining bolt.
Depress the safety spin switch to allow the
washer to operate in the spin cycle, then while
reading the torque allow the wrench to turn slowly (about 6 R.RM.) through a complete 360 degree cycle. The reading should be between
18 and 25 inch pounds throughout the com plete 360 degree rotation of the wrench.
Section 7. Transmission And Related Components 7-13
Page 68
If the torque readings are within these limits, the washer is performing properly and any slow spin complaints can be assumed to have
been the result of off- balance loads.
If the torque reading exceeds 25 inch pounds, the input torque outlined later should be checked to determine the cause. Probable causes may be the drive shaft is binding in the transmission housing (drive tube) sleeve
bearings, or that the clutch spring is binding
on the drive shaft hub.
If the available torque reading is less than 20
pounds, follow the procedure for testing the
drag torque.
Drag Torque
Position the washer so the drive pulley can be accessed, and remove the drive belt. While holding the transmission to keep it from turn ing, manually rotate the drive pulley counter clockwise until the brake stays disengaged.
Make certain the drive pulley hub shoulder has rotated fully against the cams in the spin
driving position to ensure the complete dis
engagement of the brake. Release the trans
mission so it is free to turn.
Place a 1/2 inch socket and torque wrench on the agitator retaining bolt.
If the available torque reading is below 18 inch pounds and the drag torque reading is not over 4 inch pounds, follow the procedure for checking the clutch assembly as to its input
torque.
Input Torque
NOTE: it will be observed that the readings
used to check the input torque are slightly lower than the readings used to check the available torque. The reason for this is when the brake is disengaged, as in checking the available torque, the compressed brake spring exerts a downward force on the bot
tom of the dutch hub and thrust washers. This keeps the dutch spring from slipping quite as readily as in checking the input torque where the brake is engaged and the downward force on the dutch hub is mini
mized.
To check the input torque, remove the drive
pulley and position the washer so the scale on the torque wrench can be read when it is placed on the input (drive) shaft. Attach the torque wrench adapter firmly to the shaft,
place the wrench in the adapter and slowly
rotate the wrench in a counterclockwise di
rection. A properly operating clutch assem
bly will have a torque reading between 18 and
22 inch pounds.
Slowly rotate the wrench 360 degrees at ap
proximately 6 R.RM. and read the torque. If
the torque reading is over 4 inch pounds, re
move the brake stator (as detailed earlier in
this section) and recheck the drag torque.
If the torque reading is now under 4 inch pounds, the brake is binding and should be repaired.
If the reading is still over 4 inch pounds, the
tub seal and/or spin bearing is binding and
should be replaced.
16009485-01
©1999 Maytag Appliances Sales Company
If the input torque is less than 18 inch pounds, the clutch assembly is damaged and the com
plete transmission must be replaced.
If the input torque exceeds 22 inch pounds,
the drive shaft is binding in the sleeve bear
ings, and the complete transmission must be replaced.
Section 7. Transmission And Related Components 7-14

TRANSMISSION REMOVAL
The transmission assembly can be removed from the washer cabinet after removing the
drive belt, spin basket, outer tub and the sus pension springs.
NOTE: // the "O" ring is to be reused, be ex tremely careful not to damage it during the
removal.
To assist in correctly positioning the tub, a
small indentation has been formed on the tub support just above one of the tub brace mounting areas. This is the left front tub brace.
When the tub is in proper position and ready to be mounted to the tub support, the large tub cover lock (on the side of the tub) should
be located directly above the indentation and
tub brace (See Page 7-16).
Remove the "O" ring and agitator once the drive train is back in place.
The transmission assembly, when removed as described, will have the related components assembled to it. These related components should be examined carefully before reinstall ing.
IMPORTANT
When installing the transmission, it is necessary that the tub be located on the tub support a certain way if all the mounting holes are to be properly aligned. This should be done before at tempting to mount the tub to the bear ing and sea! housing.

TIMER
Warning - Always shut off
electrical power to the washer before beginning any service repair
procedures.

Grounded Components

When performing service diagnostics, re placements and repairs, always check to de termine whether all ground wires linking panel and components are reattached if
removed.

Voltage Checks

Generally, these checks will consist of taking readings at the wall receptacle to determine
the availability of voltage to the product. Volt
age checks on individual components of a product are not recommended due to the possibility of electrical shock. Component part
testing is best accomplished through conti
nuity checks with an Appliance Test Meter
{See Electrical Test Equipment).
NOTE: Use of the meter on voltage higher than the indicated range may cause perma nent damage to the meter. To prevent dam age, first select the highest range and then lower the range for readings which fall within the lower scale.
Set UP meter for use as follows:
1.
Turn selector knob to desired meter func
tion and appropriate range.
Plug black lead into socket marked black {-). Plug red lead into socket marked red (+).
3. Place test leads into receptacle to deter
4. mine voltage available.
The timer is mounted inside the control con
sole assembly. The timer shaft protrudes
through the control panel and provides for the
selection of the various machine cycles available.
The timer is an incremental advance, rotary type driven by a synchronous motor. The timer controls and sequences the numerous
steps and functions involved in each machine cycle. It accomplishes this by providing power to the various electrical components through the opening and/or closing action of timer contacts.
A typical timer and plug connector are illus trated in Figure 8-1. The timer has all the con
necting points brought out to miniature spade terminals. These terminals are centralized and aligned on one side of the timer to form a terminal board.
The connecting wires from the wiring harness
are terminated in a compatible connector which plugs into the timer terminal board.
Since space is notably limited on the timer terminal board, terminal identification is pro
vided by a sticker attached to the side of the
timer. When referring to the sticker for termi
nal identification, the external timer motor
wires can be used for orientation.
Another source for terminal identification is
the schematic diagram which is supplied with
each washer. The schematic diagram not only identifies the terminals, but also the plug con nector terminals and their respective wire colors.

Timer removal procedures are detailed in Sec tion 4 under Control Pane! Assembly Re
moval.
Timer Testing
The timer can be tested by using an ohmme­ter and the Timer Sequence Chart as detailed in the following.

TIMER SEQUENCE CHART

The following chart depicts a typical Timer Sequence Chart which can be found on the
schematic diagram. It denotes the internal
timer contacts which are opened and/or
closed by the timer cam switches at any in
terval during a machine cycle.
Listed down the side of the chart at the left, each contact in the timer is identified as be ing controlled by a particular cam. The func tion of each contact and its terminal designa tion is also indicated.
Across the bottom of the chart are the vari
ous machine cycles available for selection, and
the timer increments at which the cycle be
gins and ends. The increment, or degree di-
vision, indicates the travel of the timer through
a cycle.
The heavy black lines to the right of the termi
nal column indicate a closed contact. If the contact is open, there is a break in the heavy black line.

EXAMPLE

Cam 0 shows the switch arm dosed, mak ing contact between Line 1 and wire 44 from increments 4 through 18. This cir cuit is the cam controlled ON/OFF switch in the timer and at increment 19 it opens,
shutting the machine off (Figure 8-2).

Using the Time Sequence Chart

The sequence chart used in conjunction with an ohmmeter can be quite effective when
attempting to verify or diagnose problems in
the timer, wiring, or other electrical parts.
In order to establish exactly which electrical components should be operating during any given time throughout the various machine cycles, it is only necessary to determine what particular cycle and phase of the cycle you are interested in.
Once the cycle and phase have been ascer tained, locate these along with the increment at the bottom of the Timer Sequence Chart. When the cycle, phase and increment are lo
cated, follow the increment from the bottom to the top of the chart noting which timer con tacts are involved in the area of concern.
Once the timer contacts have been deter
mined, the electrical circuits involved can be traced on the connection diagram by incre
ment or by phase, if necessary.

A point to point continuity check can be made to isolate the trouble either in the timer, wiring
harness, or other electrical components after
the circuit has been traced.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL BOARD

The temperature control board receives in formation from the water temperature switch
as to the user's water selections. The ther mistor located in the water valve, provides inputs to the board, as to what temperature the incoming water is. This information com bined with the selections on the temperature control switch determines the output signals to the water valve.
Temperature control boards are found on
models MAV6000, MAV6057, MAV7000, MAV7057, MAVBOOO, MAV8057 and MAV8500 only. Two different types of boards are used on the washers. An analog temperature board is used on models MAV6000, MAV6057, MAV7000 and MAV7057. A microprocessor temperature control board is used on models MAV8000, MAV8057 and MAV8500.
SL281TIF
The target cold temperature is a 75° F., plus or
minus 5° F. Targeted Warm temperature is 95° F, plus or minus 5° F.
Keep in mind that the control system is in
tended to warm wash fills when necessary to
the target temperature. It will not cool a fill when the inlet temperatures exceeds the mini
mum target temperatures.
Analog Temperature Control Board
The analog board, depending on the water
temperature selected, will monitor the water
temperature and will turn the valves ON and OFF to maintain proper water temperature. When the water temperature is set on Warm, both valves are on. The longer the valve is ON, the cold water temperature in the water lines eventually drops lower and lower.

When this occurs, the АТС will shut the cold wa ter valve off for a brief period of time and turn it back on to maintain a proper temperature flow.
You will note in the following table, the only
combinations where the temperature control board is active (BOLD) are Warm and Cold
Rinse fills are not temperature controlled unless
Warm Rinse is selected. During activation, the
indicator light is only ON when the board is con

End of Cycle Signal

The signal will sound at the end of the final rinse.
Note, the signal will not sound for 150 seconds into the cam closure. Software built into the board enables the board to perform this func
tion. The washer will continue to spin for 15-20
seconds at the end of the signal. On Model
MAV8500 only, the reminder chime will sound repetitively every four minutes. This will con tinue until the timer knob is depressed, the re

TIMER LINE SWITCH INPUT

The finger tip faucet is the only control board function that will operate with the timer knob
pushed in. This is monitored through cam 0 of the timer. Line voltage is routed through
the timer and when the timer knob is pulled
out, cam 0 closes and routes line voltage to a 1/4" spade terminal labeled Timer Sense on
the temperature control board.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL BOARD TEST PROCEDURE(MAV8000, MAV8057 & MAV8500)
6. Switch TEMPERATURE CONTROL OFF.
7. Switch SIGNAL LOUD SWITCH OFF.
8. Switch TEMPERATURE CONTROL ON.
9. Switch SIGNAL LOUD SWITCH ON.
10. End-of-Cycle Signal will sound and the Temperature Control Indicator Lamp will light and remain on for 20 seconds. (Should the Indicator light blink at a fast rate of 0.2 seconds on, 0.2 seconds off, this is an indication that the water valve ther mistor is either open or shorted.)
This procedure exercises all circuit board in
puts and outputs such as thermistor, tempera ture signal light and audible signal. The only exception is the connection to the "WHEN TO CHIME" cam of the timer.
1. Turn Temperature Control OFF. Check fill in both wash and rinse at each of the vari
ous temperature settings for proper opera
tion. This checks outputs of the tempera
ture option switch and the water valve so
lenoids. If all are OK, proceed to step 2.
Note: if a mistake is made in executing
the following sequence, it may be repeated at any time by returning to step 2.
2. Confirm that the Temperature Control Switch is OFF, End-of-Cycle Signal Switch is OFF. Note:
The timer can be set to any
position.
(Steps 3 through 9 must be accomplished
within 20 seconds from start to finish.)

WATER VALVE

The water valve is secured to a bracket in side the left rear cabinet area by two (2)
mounting screws. The bracket may be re moved for service.
The water valve has two solenoids, one on
the "HOT' water side and another on the
"COLD" water side. These solenoids are en
ergized through the timer, temperature con
trol board (MAV6000, MAV6057, MAV7000,
MAV7057, MAV8000, MAV8057 and MAV8500) and water temperature selector switch and will allow COLD, HOT or WARM (a mixture of HOT and COLD) water to enter
the tub as directed.
Testing Water Valve
The water valve can be accessed by raising
the top. The valve can be tested using an ohmmeter and performing the following:
3. Press and release the FINGER FAUCET switch. (Water will flow for 7 seconds un
til step 9 is complete, presuming the pres
sure switch is not satisfied.)
4. Switch TEMPERATURE CONTROL ON.
5. Switch SIGNAL LOUD SWITCH ON.

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Remove all wiring from the solenoid(s) being tested.
3. Place the test leads across the terminals of the solenoid being tested. The meter should indicate continuity.

MOTOR
4. Place one test lead on one terminal of the solenoid being tested, and place the other lead on a suitable ground. The meter should not indicate continuity.
Thermistor Check
The thermistor in the water valve changes in
resistance in direct relationship to water tem peratures. The Thermistor is a NTC (Nega
tive Coefficient Thermistor) type. As the tem
perature rises the resistance value will de crease. When the temperature drops, the re sistance value will increase
1. Run a partial hot water fill and check the
ohm resistance of the thermistor circuit. To check the ohm resistance, puli the tem
perature control wire harness connector
off the temperature control board and lo

2. Run a cold water fill and measure the re sistance again. There should be a notable difference in the resistance readings.
Ail washers are equipped with split phase re versible motors (Figure 8-9). The motor is 1/2 H.R, two speed. The motors have a four (4) pole and a six (6) pole winding and run at 1725
R.RM. or 1149 R.RM. respectively.
Each motor has an internal thermal overload protector which opens when exposed to ex
cessive amperage draw. The overload pro tector is wired in series with line voltage to the motor. When the switch opens, the mo tor will shut down. Although the thermal over
load protector switch will reset, it is not field
serviceable.
MOTOR SWITCH
The externally mounted motor switch is a
mechanically operated device used to control
the power input when the motor starts.
The motor switch has two sets of contacts
which operate simultaneously. One set con
trols the start winding circuit. The second
set feeds the normal speed circuit, and then switches the circuit to the slow speed winding.
On two speed motors it is necessary that the

As the motor starts running, the motor switch
moves opening the start winding and trans ferring the power from the normal speed winding to the slow speed winding. The mo
tor is running on the slow speed winding in the direction indicated.
If the overload protector opens repeatedly, check the following:
1. A binding condition in the motor or in the drive train.
2. Poor electrical connections causing a low voltage situation.
3. The motor overheats because of a re stricted air flow. (The motor can get as hot as 200 degrees Fahrenheit and still be operating within design specifications.)

MOTOR CIRCUIT TESTING

The motor overload protector, motor starting
switch and the motor are the three compo nents that should be tested if the motor as sembly is suspected of being the cause of a service problem. The power cord should be unplugged and all wiring connections from the machine wiring harness to the motor start ing switch should be disconnected before any testing is done to the motor.

Overload Protector

The overload protector is built into the motor and is not serviceable. The contacts of the
overload protector are normally closed and open in response an excessive amperage

Motor

If the motor runs in one direction but will not reverse, the problem is in the timer or wiring harness, not in the motor. The same motor components are used when the motor runs in either direction; the only change is in the electrical circuitry feeding the start winding which is controlled by the timer and related wires.
A two conductor test cord which has two fe male spade connector terminals on each con ductor is needed to test the motor operations
(tool number 038183).
To test a motor, connect the two spade con nectors on one side of the cord to terminals 1 and 4 on the starting switch and the two con nectors on the other side of the cord to the starting switch terminals 2 and 3.
To check the slow speed operation, change the
lead on terminal 3 to terminal 5. Be sure to test the motor in its normal vertical position.
If the motor will not start, or if it starts but does not attain normal speed, check the op eration of the external motor switch, replace the motor.
NOTE: Normal resistance of the motor wind

MOTOR MOUNTING

Assembled to the motor studs and secured
by locknuts are rubber isolators and washers which sandwich nylon washers and slides through slots in the mounting plate. A nylon
slide is attached to the motor bottom, and a
pivot spring installs between the motor and
mounting plate.
In operation, the nylon washers and slides ride
in the slots in the mounting plate, and the slide
rides the mounting plate. The motor is free to pivot in either direction and the pivot spring
ensures proper belt tension on the motor
pulley.
The mounting plate has rubber mounting
cushions assembled to its rear corners, and
the entire assembly is mounted to the washer
base by two (2) large hex head screws.
,y
The motor mount system consists of a motor
and mounting plate assembly as shown in
(Figure 8-14).

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Tip washer and remove drive belt.
3. Remove the front panel.
Section 8. Electrical Components & Testing
8-14
Page 85
4. Remove the two (2) large hex head screws which secure the motor and plate assem
bly to the base.
5. Remove the screw which secures the wir ing clamp to the top of the motor. Discon nect the necessary wiring.
6. Remove the motor and plate assembly
from the base.
REMOVAL: It is necessary to use a puller
with at least a three (3) inch spread.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the shaft coverat ther rear of the motor and "backup" the end of the motor shaft with a socket. This will prevent in ternal damage to the motor when tapping on the opposite end of the shaft during pulley installation.
7. To separate the motor and plate assembly, remove the motor pulley and the two (2) lock nuts which secure the components to
the motor studs.

IMPORTANT-

After reassembling the motor to the plate, be sure the nylon washers and
slides move freely in the radius slots. In cases where washers and slides do not move freely, the sides of the slots may be bent and require alignment.
Check the slots for a rough surface or for oil and dirt which must be re
moved.
The washers are equipped with a nylon/glass filled motor pulley. This pulley is pressed onto
the motor shaft where splines formed inside the pulley mesh with mating splines on the
motor shaft. Small barbed fingers molded onto the front of the pulley hub, snap into a groove located at the end of the motor shaft.
2. With the hub fingers out, positon the pul ley over the motor shaft until the splines begin to mesh.
3. Place a 1/2 inch I.D. socket, pipe, etc., over
the hub fingers and gently tap the pulley
over the splines until it bottoms out on the shaft shoulder (Figure 8-15).
NOTE: When the pulley has been properly
positioned against the shaft shoulder, the
hub fingers at the pulley front should be
located in the shaft groove.
4. Replace the shaft cover at the rear of the motor and reinstall.
NOTE: The center hole of the motor plate is
large enough to provide clearance for the pul ley during motor and plate assembly.
To eliminate the necessity of having to remove and replace the nylon/glass filled pulley when
installing a replacement motor, the complete motor/pulley and plate assembly will be ser
viced (as shown in the illustration) ready to
be mounted to the base. However, should a nylon/glass filled pulley become damaged in
the field, a service replacement pulley is avail
able. The pulley can be removed and replaced as follows:

WATER LEVEL SWITCH

Water Level Switch Operation

The water level switch is secured to the con trol console by means of two locking tabs on the switch body
[Figure 8-16).
The water level switch is operated by a col
umn of air that becomes trapped in the pres sure switch hose. This hose is connected be tween the diaphragm section of the switch and air bell which is located on the lower por tion of the tub. As water enters the tub, a
small amount enters the pressure switch hose thereby trapping air in the hose. As the water
level increases in the tub, this column of air
becomes compressed and exerts pressure on the water level switch diaphragm. When the
proper water level is reached the diaphragm
actuates a single pole, double throw switch in the water level switch assembly.
The water level switch is quite sensitive and
requires only about 0.6 RS.I. to activate it at the maximum fill position.
The circuitry of the machine is designed to put the switch in control of the water mixing valve or the timer motor and drive motor dur ing various phases of the wash cycle.
During the fill cycle, the switch makes a cir cuit between terminals 7 and 15 which ener gizes the mixing valve circuit(s).
(Figure 8-
16) When the switch is activated, it opens the
circuit between terminals 7 and 15 which shuts off the water, and closes a circuit be tween terminals 7 and 16 which energizes the timer motor and drive motor.

Testing the Water Level Switch

The water level switch can be accessed as pre viously detailed in Section 4 under Control Pane! Disassembly. It can be tested using an
ohmmeter and executing the following.
It is most important that the hose connections
to the switch diaphragm and air bell nipple
be airtight, as the smallest air leak will cause erratic operation.
__

IMPORTANT

_____________________
The water level switch is adjusted and
sealed at the manufacturing source and no
adjustments should be made in the field.
Whenever the hose is removed from the wa ter level switch or the air bell nipple, DO NOT
reconnect the hose until all water has been drained from the tub. To ensure proper op eration of the water level switch, the hose
MUST NOT have any water in it when rein
stalled on the switch. When reconnecting the hose, be sure to slip it over the nipple(s) as far as possible.
