One more bit of info: After fixing the machine, I got a reply to a customer service query on the Kingston web site (see link) offering to build me a new motor for a reasonable price (less than I paid for the rebuilt motor!). http://www.kingston-asfc.com/shop/pc/contact.asp

It's working again! I found a local place that sold me a rebuilt motor for $50. Installed it and the machine is working again just fine. One note for the next person encountering this problem - When putting the timer motor back in its place, you have to get the finger that sticks out from the...

Forgot to mention - the motor is a Kingston Model 60-1 3 Watt 1 RPM (in my case it is 240VAC-50Hz).

Thanks, whirlykenmore78 - looking forward... meanwhile, I think I've found a source for a replacement motor. Also found this website with instructions for DIY refurbishing: http://www.davesrepair.com/DIYhelp/DIYKstonmod60fix.htm (but I'll probably just get a replacement motor - at this point the...

thanks, Pdub. That's probably what I'll try first. As for where I'm from - I was born in Austin & lived also in San Antonio - so Texas is where I'm from. But I also lived in St. Louis, Chicago, Durham (NC), Poughkeepsie, LA, San Jose, etc. Where I am now - Israel. Thanks again, Yosh

ah, well - no one answered my latest query. I guess I'll fumble my way forward on my own. If I learn anything interesting I'll try to post it for the benefit of others. Meanwhile, if anyone has any guidance, it will be appreciated. Thanks, Yosh

Thanks, goatfarmer, that was exactly correct & pretty easy. A further question - the whole mechanism is pretty large & has lots of wires connected. I've attached a picture of it (while still mounted). I can see the motor - i.e., the part that looks like the picture that Pdub posted - in the...

Many thanks. I've also sent the seller of that motor a question if it fits my A208. BTW, is there a general guide somewhere for getting inside the machine? I haven't started trying yet, but I can see it's very different from my old GE washer. thanks, yosh

Everything else seems to work fine, but the timer doesn't advance automatically. This started about a week ago. We can move it manually from step to step to get through a load (but that's not so convenient, as you might imagine). Will this probably require a replacement of the timer? Or is it...

I guess it's also called the "Operating Instructions" for the Maytag A208 - anybody know where I can find it or perhaps you can scan & email or upload it? I'd also be interested in the service manual, if anyone knows where I could find it. thanks! Yosh

Hi. We just "inherited" a working Maytag A208 machine. I'd like to become familiar with all the machine's features, etc., and to be sure we use it correctly. Does anyone know where I could download a PDF of the manual for it? Thanks! Yosh
