      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.

LA5000 - No Spin

Recommended Posts

LA5000 washer does nothing when turned on the Spin Cycle (can't even hear it try to do something). I have a heck of a time with the old Maytag's and always seem to misdiagnose. The lid switch appears to work mechanically, and the fuse is still fine and works electrically. Since it doesn't do anything at all when I turn on the spin cycle, I'm thinking it's the motor, but every time I think that, it's the timer - or vice versa. Not sure how to diagnose either properly (and there's no tech sheet). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Drive Motor 12002351 Main Product ViewThe orange wire leads to the Thermal cut-out, since the thermal cut-out is first in line before the power hits the motor windings, you can meter for 120VAC to ground here with the unit set to "spin" and you should read 120V if the Timer is good. The motor may not look like this, but the reasoning would be sound even on the old 'battleship' gray GE motors some of these babies have...
