Yes it does.6 relays are on it I believe.

I have decided to go with a new unit in place of this one. The fact parts are virtually non existent along with the state of our world has led me this direction. I feel swapping parts is ultimately just a stop gap measure. So with that said, I would like to either sell this unit or sell parts...

I think this will work I found another one a couple hrs away. It must be BOL I don't see a rinse aid dispenser on it. The next picture is my current one. Gonna try putting it back together and see what we got.

Not really seeing a smoking gun Got the cover off the pump. There was a bit of water in there yet. Which I believe there was supposed to be. Didn't really see anything jump out. I dont feel any play in that impeller or anything. Not sure where to go next besides clean it real good and try it...

I found a RR a couple hours from me in Iowa. I sent a message about it. It's avocado colored, would it still be the same pump andball?

Hey everyone! Been here at my house for almost 2 years now. I resurrected a vintage Maytag WU 1000 by replacing its belt. It's been relatively trouble free and always cleans superbly. However it's developed an increasing level of noise in the past year or so. Yes I know these machines are...

This unit (and everything else in the house) has sat mostly unused for the last 20-25 years. I know sitting can be harder on things then using them. It looked virtually brand new inside and out when I moved in. To my surprise the only appliance I've had to replace since ive been here is the...

Report Ok. Did some probing around with my multimeter. Verified the heater circuit wasn't open, ran it with the cover off and observed the relay trigger, it was a few moments (15 seconds maybe? Figure that bi-metalic strip takes a few moments to heat up) and then I heard the soap dispenser...

It is in really nice shape. I dont think it saw much use before it went to sleep. I'd like to keep it running. I am not at all impressed with the look and feel of any of the new appliances in the stores. I went back and watched the video its kind of deceptive, I don't think it's as loud as it...

Video Yeah it appears there's still an issue. Im wondering if it's not a relay issue. This unit sat dormant for quite a while before I came along. At a minimum enjoy some wash sounds. Fast forward towards the end when the cycle starts again to see that it didn't open. The initial issue was it...

Model 900370 appears to be the part I am looking for. Upon further tinkering I got it to spring open. I also ran it and it did open. I am wondering if I overfilled the dispenser and it got stuck maybe? I'll keep an eye on it too and see if it acts up again.

Hey all! I think I may have a problem, I noticed this morning that the soap dispenser is not opening on my Maytag. I got it to slide over only to be greeted by some rock hard soap that was left over from the last cycle. I also noticed the door didn't seem to have any spring to it, usually it...

Timer Thank you all for the responses! I know it sounds silly to say but this 30 plus year old washer almost has too many options for me haha. Im just trying to get the most out of it. It always cleans my jeans up so nice. They get covered in black grease and crap from work. I also believe...

Soak Feature Hey all, Just wanted to say this ole washer has really grown on me and has worked beautifully. In the 9 months or so I've been living here. Im really glad I listened to you all and kept this unit when every instinct in me wanted to get rid of it. So thank you for that! Today's...

Ok, so thats what the grease was for. Now it makes sense. The belt I got came with grease, but I didn't think it was for the belt. I come from the automotive and machinist world where grease and stuff on belts is bad, so it seemed counter intuitive to me to put grease on a belt. I will see if I...
