combo52 - John -- It is time for another motor John, did you get the email I sent to your email as listed in your profile? I am interested in a non-Westinghouse single speed motor, paying for shipping and packaging. No big deal if you changed your mind, I still appreciate all the advice I...

John/combo52 -- I'll take you up on that offer for a mot The old motor is sort of limping along for now, but I'll take a non Westinghouse single speed motor if you have a good one. Certainly, the existing motor will act up again, so next time I tear it out, I would like to replace it with...

No idea if it is over amping or what to do if it is Voltage seems good at 125 volts according to my meter. Not sure about the over-amping. I tried to look it up, but it told me not to do too many stimulants or meth. No worries, there, LOL.

Maytag is down again - motor was good for 50 loads We have done maybe 50 loads of wash since I "fixed" the motor, but it made a humming noise this morning during the final spin cycle and was not spinning the drum, so I had to shut it down. Guess I could take it apart again. Maybe my alignment...

Motor seems to be working after the tear down I did 3 loads of wash and the motor is working great so far. I hope it lasts. It did get warm during peak spinning, but a comfortable temperature that I could keep my hand on. Really, all I ended up doing was cleaning everything up, cleaning up...

Super Oil and the wick This stuff (see pic) specifically mentions electric motors, so, unless I get some different input, I might try a little of that. I also included a picture of what I am assuming is the "wick". Let me know if I am correct. Thanks. Shawn

I have no turbine oil I have no turbine oil. I have grease in various forms, motor oil 5w-20 and 5w-30m and 30 weight (no detergent) straight motor oil, fine oils (Wahl) for shavers, clippers, shears, 3 in 1 oil, PB Blaster, WD 40, Silicon, Liquid Wrench super household oil, and some synthetic...

I took the motor a part - Part 2 See first message above for context. I might have continued to waste my time, because maybe the motor is just worn out (not sure how to tell, except it doesn't work as expected), but I made the black/carbon contacts a bit shinier with fine sandpaper and...

I took the motor apart - I may have wasted more than 5 minut John L./combo52 - saw your post about not wasting 5 minutes taking the motor a part AFTER I took it a part, LOL. Oh well, it is done now. gsd-dan - well, I took the motor a part. Since I did, is there anything you suggest doing or...

GA107A that needs a drive motor Thanks, Good-Shepherd, combo52, and gsd-dan. Here are some answers and questions. Good-Shepherd - I think the motor is bad because it will start spinning the drum for a few seconds to a minute or two, then stop. It is making a screech sound when it first...

I have a Maytag model GA107A that needs a drive motor. My issue is that no look ups or cross references exist for a model GA107A. Is it unique in some way? I was told no replacement was available. It seems a model A107 exists, and the replacement that "may" work for that is PN 12002351...
