Washer Not Advancing or Agitating
Our Maytag is 25 years old and we were going to replace it. However, a repair man that was fixing our dishwasher said to just replace the timer (the new Washers are only built to last 3-5 years). We ordered the part and I can’t believe how easy it was. I took off the knobs, used the pliers to pull the clip that held the timer in place, used the screwdriver to take the front panel off, and used a small socket to loosen a few other nuts. Once the timer was out, it was basically plug and play. Put the whole thing back together and she works like a charm.

Timer control failed. New part had several obvious defects I fixed before install.
Actual replacement is fairly easy, but there are a few details and my replacement part arrived with some problems to be fixed.

0) UNPLUG THE WASHING MACHINE!
1) Use a small screw driver or pen knife to pop off the center cover on the cycle setting knob. Use small pliers to grab the tab on the clip, slide it away from the shaft to release the knob. Remove the knob, the spring and the back indicator plate.
2) Remove the two inner screws at the top of the washer control panel, one on the left, one on the right. The outer screws lock down part of the trim. Leave them in place.
3) Place a towel on the top of the washer and tilt the control panel forward and pull it up slightly. Then place it face down on the towel. Do NOT attempt to remove the two large connectors on the timer yet.
4) There are two wires from one of the two connectors plugged into the timer that are stretched fairly tightly across the back of the timer and go to the light on the right side of the control panel. The attachment of this light to the panel is very easy to break if you attempt to remove the two terminals. Instead try sliding the light assemble up to detach it from the lens insert. Don't panic if you break it. Just fold the wires and indicator light to the left out of the way for now to give you access to the timer.
5) Tilt the control panel back up on the towel and remove the two screws that hold the timer to the panel. A nut driver or small socket will make this easy, although an open end wrench and some patience will also work.
6) There is a thin plastic cover shield over all the switches on the old timer. It is VERY easily broken - like cracker crumbs. Inspect the corners top and bottom and you will notice some small triangular tabs of plastic that hold it in place. Use a small needle to pry each of these triangular tabs up and slide the covers back a bit. When all four corners are released, you can slide off this "U" shaped cover. Set it aside to use with the new switch. If you crack it, save the usable pieces and use some high quality permanent tape to hold it in place on the new switch.
7) Each of the two plugs on the timer have locks on either side. Push them in and wiggle the plugs off. A small screw driver may be needed to make sure the lock tabs are disengaged and to gently persuade the plug to release. Remove the old timer and set it aside for comparisons with the new timer part.
8) Carefully inspect the new part for manufacturing defects or broken parts or cam fingers not engaged with the circular cam wheels. Comparing the new timer to the old timer:
A) Look for broken plastic in the frame that supports the small barriers between each set of switches. Mine arrived with one of these broken in the middle.
B) Look at where the timer motor gear engages the large wheel that drive the advance paw. Mine arrive with this gear only about 40% engaged.
C) There is a small metal lever that holds up one of the switches on one side of the gang of switches on one side of the timer. Mine arrived with this lever barely engaged with the plastic switch lever.
D) Make sure each plastic switch lever is close to being centered on its cam wheel. Mine arrived with one switch lever pushed off of its cam.

To fix A, I used a small threaded metal rod tied with bits of dental floss to the plastic frame across the break and pulled the dental floss strings tight enough to straighten the part. Then I carefully dabbed a bit of JB weld around the plastic and the metal brace and string. Be very careful to not let any epoxy get onto the switch levers or cam wheels. Turn the timer switch down so any epoxy drips fall onto your paper covered work surface, not into the switch.

To fix B takes some rather radical steps. You may want to just take a chance the misaligned gears will hold up. To fix this and fully engage the drive motor gear, bend the two metal tabs retaining the motor back straight and remove the motor. Unplug the motor's two electrical connectors. Now use some larger pliers to start to bend the center of both sides of the metal box out, moving the motor mounting plate closer to the large driven gear. Be careful to not let the pliers touch or break any plastic parts. Now carefully place the the back part of each side of this small metal box in a vice and further crush the sides to bring the motor mounting plate closer to the driven gear. You will probably need a small spacer between the metal box and the jaws of one side of the vice to accomplish this. After bending the sides in the vice, you will probably need to flatten the outside section of the box a bit and flatten the mounting plate if it gets bent a bit in this modification. When all the adjustments are done, the two plates should be close to parallel to each other, but with the motor mounting plate closer to the large driven gear. Now reinstall the motor, making sure the gears still have a bit of gear lash clearance remainin

Intermittent power. Worked with manipulation of selector knob.
I unplugged the washer and removed the control panel by loosening the (4) Phillips head screws on top of the control panel trim Molding. And loosening the panel by pulling out and up.
After the panel came loose I picked out the center of the selector knob and removed it ,exposing the clip securing the knob to the selector switch (timer) shaft. I used needle nose pliers to manipulate the clip off of the shaft away from center. At this point the.knob is free to pull away from the control panel off the shaft. Set aside with clip to reassemble later. Remove (2) wires from light to right of timer and then carefully locate the pressure clips on the (2) large electrical plugs on the top and bottom of the timer. Pry the clips on the plugs free to allow the plugs to separate from the timer. After both plugs have been disconnected from the timer go back to the knob side and remove the (2) 5/16 screws securing the timer to the control panel. Remove and replace the timer. Install in reverse order being careful to not damage or pinch wires.

Washer machine would fill but not continue to cycle.
multi-meter was used to check appropiate voltage. The control panel was removed by unscrewing four phillips head screws. When the timer was rotated there was an arc or small flash inside the timer which was visible. Power was disconnected and the timer unit was removed. first step was to kill power source- Remove snap cap on control knob removed locking spring clip which enable you to remove the entire control knob. Two 5/16 screws were removed using appropate nutdriver. Simply unplug two wiring harness and reassemble.

Would not complete cycle
After troubleshooting my machine and ordering the timer, the rest was a piece of cake.
I first removed the four screws that retain the face plate to the washer, I then pryed the cap off of the timer knob with a flat-blade screwdriver, removed the clip on the shaft of the timer, slipped off the timer knob and spring, unplugged the two multi-pin connections from the timer and removed the faulty timer.
Installation was just a reverse process of the above.
So easy a caveman can do it!!

Washer will come on only on ‘delicate 5 min’ cycle. Will not come on on any of other cycles. Is this timer part problem and if so does it need to be replaced or is it corrosion on some of the timer leading to non-working cycles,?? thx
For model number LAT8624AAE

Hello Mary, Thank you for your inquiry. It does sound like the timer switch, you can test it with a multimeter to see if it has continuity. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

I've found a small, tube type fuse inside the control area that's blown. I can't read the amp rating. (marking appears to be 1a 250v )any idea what that rating might be?
For model number LAT5914AAE

Hi William, thank you for your question. It sounds like you are talking about the piece which is a part of your lid switch assembly: PS11739302. To replace it you would have to replace that part. Unfortunately the amp information is not provided. Good luck with your repair.
