    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Maytag PAV2300AWW washer. When set to spin mode, nothing turns, but I can hear the timer clicking away. Lid switch seems to be fine. Motor and Drain pump turn freely. Clutch assembly turns until it locks up, then I can turn it the opposite way.

Do I need a new motor?

You have to answer one question before the decision can be made about the motor:

Is there 120VAC to the motor when you have spin selected?  The red wire at #4 position on the motor plug to the nearby ground should be 120VAC with spin selected, lid closed.

If there is no voltage to the motor circuit, it is the timer.
