Question

Hi- Just replaced bearings on a mah4000aww. Started up, but doesn't spin. I replaced wax motor and board a year ago. I did get it to spin once, however today. (I am cycling without a load in wash) Also, it worked fine before bearing repair, but howled bad.

Hi, Thank you for using justanswer for your appliance questions!

Be sure that all the out of balance switchs are plugged in. These have blue wires going to them. There is a main plug at the top, for these switches.

Hi-

I had checked the switches before. This time. I unhooked them, rehooked, then ran a continuity test to confirm that they were closed. I rehooked them at the harness connection also. Well, it did spin. Hopefully it will continue to spin. Thanks for the advice.
