A107 More Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me. Your great education has given me vast knowledge about my MT that will enable me to more easily diagnose problems in the future! Special kudos to those who mentioned extension cords and faulty wall outlets and other possible supply...

Still More A107 The carriage works perfectly, travels smoothly. This time, with just a small amount of water in the tub and both belts attached, everything worked (spin and drain). Lights dimmed momentarily on motor start, normal behavior. I'm going to assume with full water and clothes, I'd...

A107 Belts have not been changed. To Yogitunes: So the motor is not fixed. The carriage puts the motor under spring tension only, allowing the belt to slip while the tub overcomes inertia, is that about it? Now I also understand the motor noise with no belts. So what would make the tub drive...

More A107 I disconnected both belts and now the motor makes a sharp rattling sound. Runs normally, no excessive current. That doesn't suggest an electrical issue (or does it? or would it to have something to do with the carriage when the belts are not connected. I assume the carriage is the...

Further Info- A107 Thanks for comments, will address them later but just wanted to give you the latest. I have checked the inner tub rotation manually, no binding. With a couple of inches in the tub, the tub starts to spin slowly *and* the pump discharges water normally at the same time. Motor...

More Info on A107 MT The motor does run on spin. The spin begins slowly but the lights dim, the motor gets warm and trips the thermal cutoff. I did not know that spin and drain occur simultaneously and thought the full tub was causing the overload. It would sound like a bad motor except the...

A107 Sorry A107 not A170

Hello, My A170 Maytag skips the drain cycle and causes motor overheating when attempting the spin cycle.Timer seems likely but suppose it could be a bad connection. Any other ideas? Where should I start looking first? Many thanks. Frank

This is a 50's sink/dishwasher combo. Does anyone know if any current Moen cartridges can be used in this single-lever faucet? Thanks. Frank

Problem Solved- D&M Fries Motors Thanks all for the info- I will file away the wiring diagram. What I didn't tell you is that this D & M assembly was adapted years ago to fit the dishwasher in a GE Electric Sink, circa 30-40's. (I posted about this with photos some time ago.) The relay...

No Relay Came with the New Motor Can a bad relay cause a motor to overheat to the point of destruction??. The new motor ran forward and reverse and sounded fairly normal and did not lack power or seem to run slower while it was overheating. Can you explain what happens to the relay when it...

The other day I did a routine cleaning of the intake filter on the solenoid. By mistake I also disconnected and reconnected later the wires to the coil that I believe allows the motor to reverse. (The wires were marked very carefully.) I ran the washer with the filter cleaned and probably...

Second Wash I would say the water was changed 5-6 times, whatever the old Kenmore did. Never kept exact count. You can add soap manually somewhere in the middle, but I almost never do. This is *not* a "pot scrubber," believe me, but with a good manual pre-rinse, the results are generally...

Thank You! Thank you all for your kind words and help. I never dreamed anybody would care about this! Or that I would be able to track down all this information. I can't say for sure what the top is made of, but my guess is it's just a high grade stainless steel. Elsewhere I believe I posted...

Custom Model My grandfather apparently had the model that could be customized to any sink/countertop console. Because it fits the side of the room so perfectly it could have been custom-made but I don't think so as it is exactly 6 ft, and made by Art Metal Kitchen Equipment Co. This company...

Thanks Mike! I saw your message posted to Robert. My recollection of how the original lever system worked has now been clarified! Clarification on point: Perhaps you now understand that the timer and spray arm are *not* GE but came from a 60's Sears washer. The conversion was necessary because...

Photo of front panel.

Any information on this unit would be much appreciated! I have attached several photos. (NOTE: Didn't realize I could do only one- others in follow-up messages.) About 20 years ago, I removed the original "guts" and replaced them with a Sears timer and new style water impeller and motor as the...
