Maytag MAH3000AWW

[cpsaltis]

I have a Maytag Neptune MAH3000 that is about 18yrs old. Today it would not go into the high-speed spin. I left the door open and pushed the door closed switch, rotated to spin and turned on the machine. It does spin C-CW-C etc but does not spin fast. Searching around Google I've been seeing things like motors, control boards, wax motor who's to know which is why I'm here.

So, I also lifted the top to gain access to see the wax motor to test the micro-switch. Once again while pressing the closed door switch I turned on the cycle. Then I depressed the contact on the micro-switch on the right (which I understand is the door lock switch?) nothing happens. By that I mean the door lock light does not illuminate. I then tested the micro-switch (machine off) and it does close the circuit.

What could be the issue or what should I try next.

Thank you in advance.

Check control for any burnt areas.Part number: 12001725

I assume you are referring to the board mounted on the lower right front corner of the cabinet. It's about the same size as you referenced although the components are different. I have removed the board and all components appear to be intact. No burn marks, scorching, none swollen, and no odor.
 

I'm not able to attach an image but the micro-switch I'm referring to is not the unbalance switch but the one to the right of the wax motor (mine has a red plunger) where the door lock mechanism is located.

Board located behind console area.  If unbalance switch stuck unit will not go into spin.

if drain n spin cycle is started does door lock.

The R11 resistor is fried on the board in the console. I do not see where the unbalance switch is.

As for the lock, I don't recall and would have to put machine back together to find out.

Would I have to replace the motor and it's board if I replace the console board? Should I replace the wax motor since it has the red plunger?

Thanks for your help.

Replace the main board and wax motor, the wax motor is what burned the r11

Yep.

Thank you all very much. Will order the replacement board and the wax motor.

The parts arrived and the machine is working properly now. Thank you all for your assistance.
