A806 Timer Motor

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Oh gotcha. Yes that is where I found a couple of other parts. You're a doll. I appreciate you so much. Many think I'm crazy for having the passion for this thing that I do. Especially other women who like the newest. This girl is super happy with her A806 and I'm not giving up on it. Thank you so much for your help and support. I'll order this and hopefully we will be back in business.
 
Nothing made today beings to equal this type of build quality, durability, and reliability. It's worth every second and every penny keeping these older machines going. I saved 4 of these sets from going to the crusher and have used one set for almost 20 years now. Not bad for a free 50 year old washer/dryer that almost met its maker.

That is amazing. I wish I was having the same luck. I ordered that pressure switch off eBay. Hooked it up and nothing. Taped my wires back together just to make sure and it starts right up. At least on my other pressure switches I could get water to run just not agitate. On my other pressure switch I had grey hooked to 16 and yellow black to 15. I reversed the wires on the new pressure switch and put grey on 15 and yellow black on 16 and finally got it to run water, but same issue, it won't move to agitate.
However, the wiring diagram is showing completely different placement. But clearly it is wrong. I'm so lost at this point.

Well, damn. I don't think the pressure switch was your problem, it sounds like something is going on with your air dome pressure hose that connects between the outer tub and pressure switch. It's either clogged or you have an air leak. Try blowing air through the hose on the pressure switch side and make sure air flows freely through it. I also noticed you have an aftermarket clamp on the nipple of the hose on the pressure switch. Make sure the hose fits nice and tight at that connection. The hose connected to the outer tub should also be nice and tight (it uses that annoying spring clamp).

You can test both pressure switches by using a digital multimeter set to the continuity selection. You should hear a beeping tone when both leads are connected together. Connect the leads across (if I remember correctly) terminals 15 and 16 on the pressure switch. There should be no beep. I use and connect a piece of vacuum tubing to the pressure switch and blow through the hose until you hear a click. You should hear the digital meter beep when blown through the hose and the pressure diaphragm clicks. When the air is releases, it should stop beeping when it clicks again.

Well damn is right. This is getting crazy. The tube really is the last thing to check. I've got 3 pressure switches including the new one I just received from eBay. I've been through all the testing of blowing and checking for continuity and haven't been able to get continuity on any of them. However, on a whim I just did a continuity test according to the actual wiring diagram I shared above and I got continuity under pressure using 16 and 7. Now to hook it back up and attach the wires according to the diagram and see if we move to agitate.

Well hot damn. The wiring diagram is right. Yellow black goes to 16 and gray goes to 7 and brown goes to 15.
