MVWC400XW4 no spin

[Jaspersohn]

I have this Maytag and it sometimes spins, sometimes not.....mostly not. I have not done the dial self diagnosis because it seems it would be a shift actuator problem. When I look for that part, I find it for different models. Not this one specifically. I am asking because there must be more this grasshopper must learn....

What error codes did you retrieve from the control when you had it in service mode?

Well, that pamphlet from inside the washer sure leaves much to be desired. I  'think'  I have a long drain E-1/F-81 and target rpm E-1 that I musta missed the fault code. I also ran the auto test and it quit with the wash, rinse, and sensing LED's solid with a flashing lid lock. Had to unplug to clear the lock. I hope this makes sense to you because the pamphlet really needs to be rewritten by techs like you all.
